He was hurt, we are 3-3, these speculative "what if" scenarios that are impossible to find an answer. Heck, we could be 2-4 without him. I don't know and neither do you.If he didn't get injured, we would probably be 14-0 right now.
You know what would shut FMM up real quick? Winning games.I'd like to think he'd make us a few points better each game.
so 5-1 and no posts the past week from the FMM.
Best reason ever.You know what would shut FMM up real quick? Winning games.
Agree with all of this … my spin is when we push thru tonight and make Bill and Mary wish we were playing fb we get a healthy MFG back for the Drake game where we need Robins packed and loud …He was hurt, we are 3-3, these speculative "what if" scenarios that are impossible to find an answer.

It's basketball, players get hurt. Good teams weather injuries, bad/mediocre teams make excuses from them. Of course, you'd think we'd be 5-1 or 6-0 because your bread and butter is making excuses for Moon and his teams performance. Moon should put you on staff for all the fluff you do for him.
Dayton is down their entire backcourt, VCU is out there best players, so would they be undefeated too because they have unquestionably had more critical injuries. At the end of the day, you are what your record says you are. We are 3-3.
agreed. it was a pretty quiet offseason for a change.You know what would shut FMM up real quick? Winning games.
OoooookI can't believe how big you guys are on Matt Grace. Honestly, I believe we would be 2-4 with him. He is an acceptable back-up now, which is a major upgrade from 2 years ago where I cringed every time he entered the court.
Really ? MFG is clearly more a positive than a negative and at this point in his career he knows what he can do and what he can’t.I can't believe how big you guys are on Matt Grace. Honestly, I believe we would be 2-4 with him. He is an acceptable back-up now, which is a major upgrade from 2 years ago where I cringed every time he entered the court.
Right, winning is nice. Would like more of it. Happy to be made a fool by Mooney, I really am. Doesn't happen often enough though.agreed. it was a pretty quiet offseason for a change.
I'm not one to overstate Grace's value but you don't think he was worth one point vs Syracuse?
I think Roche should play a lot against Syracuse regardless.Hard to say, right? Grace's absence opened things up for more time Quinn and Roche. Quinn went for 8 points and 9 boards while Roche was out there bombing threes.
Yes in OT...I'm not one to overstate Grace's value but you don't think he was worth one point vs Syracuse?
Always agree with the bold...I think Roche should play a lot against Syracuse regardless.
I think Burton plays less than 45 minutes with Grace, and I think playing 45 affected him late when he missed 5 of 6 FTs.
maybe that Bigelow to Quinn pass at the end of regulation doesn't happen.
we'll never know but I don't see how not having a rotational piece would help.
I think we'd have the same end of game strategy to take the air out of the ball which kills all offensive aggressiveness like we have seen for the past 17 years. We had plenty of talent on the court to win all the games. Some like to ignore history, but it tends to repeat itself. I'd love to be proven wrong the rest of this season and in the future seasons.I'm not one to overstate Grace's value but you don't think he was worth one point vs Syracuse?
The last two years are evidence to the contrary.You know what would shut FMM up real quick? Winning games.
Well to be fair, last season we were very under achieving regular season, so we were not really winning games a pace meeting expectations of having Gilyard, Golden, Burton and all on the team. I think this is a talented team, if we can make NCAA this year, it will quiet things more. If we continue playing like this, it will get much lowder.The last two years are evidence to the contrary.
Well, we underperformed last year until our miracle run in DC and largely did the same in the Covid year, making a watered down NIT tournament that a lot of teams opted out of it.The last two years are evidence to the contrary.
Hell we might even be 8-0, William & Mary probably would have forfeited after the final whistle last night after seeing how unstoppable we areObviously, Grace would have dropped 25 on Toledo last night and the Spiders would be now 7-0. Alas.
And that's the issue with the status quo. Is it sustainable? You can't expect to make runs to the A10 championship as the 6 seed very often. Can we consistently make post season tournaments without guys being here for 4, 5, or 6 years? Can we plug in trasfers who were successfull at other programs and not go through rebuilds that take multiple years? And remember, some of CM's multiple year rebuilds ended up NOT resulting in NCAA tournament appearances.Well, we underperformed last year until our miracle run in DC and largely did the same in the Covid year, making a watered down NIT tournament that a lot of teams opted out of it.
