What are the odds?

[TBSpyder]

that we could beat both Bona and VCU? Some would say zero, others, 50-50. I'm going to guarantee that we win both games. Doubters, stay home.

 

[SpiderK]

ZERO % or less!!!

 

[WebSpinner]

if someone forced me to wager, would not bet my home on us winning both. TB, what are you offering in your guarantee? do we get a free winter week in your florida home? year's supply of sugar crisps? what are you putting up buddy?

 

[Ferrum Spider]

What about GW in between? Of all of our close losses, that stings the most.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Would TB and SpiderK be open to a "Loser Leaves Town" wager on this?

Everyone else would win, no matter what happens.

 

[TBSpyder]

Mo,

What is your wager?

 

[SpiderK]

Would Mo be willing to bet his delusions of superiority or maybe his all seeing eye??

 

[Captain Anderson]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we beat VCU. We are a really bad matchup for them in terms of style of play. They are not a great half court offensive team and really struggle to score if the 3's aren't falling and if they aren't converting turnovers into easy baskets.

If we rebound like we did in the first game I think we have a great chance. A sweep over them would be a nice moral victory to carry into the Spring I guess.

 

[MolivaManiac]

I'm pretty stupid but i'm not stupid enough to guarantee anything about the Spider team.

The first 2 posts on this thread speak for themselves. TB guarantees 2 victories and K says

 

[SpiderK]

Mo, I didn't guarantee anything, just gave the odds. This is a sports board, it's not the Federalist Papers. Don't be so serious, have fun with it every now and then.

We're definitely beating VCU at home, and no one should be surprised when it happens. Just like no one should be surprised when we lose tonight to a team we destroyed by 19 a few weeks ago.

Last time, Ndoye played half a game and ANO had one of his best nights of the year.

For us to win tonight we would need to adjust to the likelihood that neither of those are going to happen this time, so...

 

[sdspider]

Yes, Ndoye gonna crush us tonight. No ANO equals getting killed by the big guy. Only glimmer is their starting guard is out so we can collapse on the big guy and dare the guards to beat us.

 

[spider fan]

Need to get Ndoye in foul trouble...................

Yep. If Ndoye stays out of trouble, he's going to have a career night.

 

[SpiderK]

They will try to get quick fouls on Cline. DT and TD should take turns guarding Ndoye. He does shoot 71% from the line.

 

[ThePhysician]

I agree , DT is such a lockdown defender and at his length and athleticism he should be guarding the centers , not TJ

TB, you're looking pretty good. Let's finish it off with vdu.

 

[SpiderK]

Nobody wants TBS to right more than I do!!!!!

 

[MolivaManiac]

Bump.

TB, do you have Grey's Sports Almanac?

Last year, you called the Singleton departure. This year, you got this one.

I don't want to rush genious, but give us something else soon.

/Tips cap/

 

[SpiderK]

TBS, my reverse luck trick worked!!! Lol. I am soooooo happy to be wrong and admit it!!!! Wish you could have been there to see it. I have no voice left and my hands are bruised from clapping!!

 

[GKiller]

TB's earned an extra comma or 3

 

[urfan1]

Kudos to TBS for his going on a limb and winning
