I watched the whole game. Great game and happy to see VCU pull it out. UR basketball is so far removed from this level of play, the speed of VCU, the physicality of Loyola and the aggressiveness and intensity of both teams. Loyola was hitting the o boards for extra shots and VCU couldn’t stop them. But VCU would counter by trying to knock the rebound to the perimeter….much like Hal Nunnally suggested to JB, keep the ball in play. No one on either team ran back down the court after one shot.
What the heck is our administration doing supporting a swirling down the sewer of a men’s bb program? It’s maddening to watch bb this time of year and know from the last day of each season come the next year you still won’t have a dog in the fight.
 
After all the physicality the refs have allowed, Shulga falls over in a crucial moment and the refs assume he was pushed and give him free throws

14 trips to NCAA in 20 years. Any way you look at it, that a top notch program for Mid/Majors. Congratulations, I also find myself for pulling for them when we don’t play each other!🏀🕷️🕸️
14 trips in 20 years with various coaches. Compare that to 3 in 20 with our 1 coach. That alone is glaring. Hate VCU or envy them, they are doing things right, and they are a winning program. Odom seems to do things right. The product he puts on the court is much more enjoyable to watch than that of CM. Odom’s strategies get positive results while we hear that we are getting better as the season progresses and that we compete. Screw that. And we shouldn’t accept rationalizations or excuses why we can’t have the success VCU does. And here we are again on the outside looking in again as March Madness begins with our 8 D1 wins and another 20 loss season.
 
What’s the dollar amount for each round this year? Why can’t UR get a new coach who gets us there and use this money to payoff the old coach?
Why is this so darn hard?
 
VCU and GMU rebound and play D like their lives depend upon it, we on the other hand........
I just checked our rankings - 342 on total rebounds and 359 offensive rebounds. That’s out of 364 D1 teams. Is it safe to say that Mooney truly doesn’t see rebounding in the tool box of basketball strategies? Next year’s strategy - expect more of the same.

Today during VCU / GMU game lot of mention on offensive rebounds and second chance points. Caveat - not applicable to UR.
