Hahaha thats funny. Have you been watching Spider bball for the past 20 years?
I don’t want to see Roche for the rest of the game. Good lord
Unless it’s end of shot clock Bigs needs to be told not to take these 3s. It’s close to a turnover. He’s open for a reason. Take a big dribble in, drive all way to hoop (since he shoots great from FT line), or pass.
Noyes got two minutes and I guess Mooney saw enough. They weren’t good minutes but at least he has some size
The patterns rarely change in meaningful OOC games.
He didn’t try on D on that break. We saw it at times w Nelson. gotta contest or even hard foul not the cursory drive by.
He’s not being assertive & I’m not against the old Bob knight motivation of “ass meet bench/bench retain ass”…but still strange. Far from the time to shine expanded role expected by Moon himself. Got to work him in.
Looks like one team made halftime adjustments and the other team didn’t.
Thats another trend lol.
And dont change up the D Mooney. Everything is going great.
Just hope we play Queens 20 more times.
Very very disappointing. All the rubber meets road games so far, the Mooney motivation and mentality prevails. We are playing a team approximately 20 points below us in kenpom and playing very weak and uninspired. We looked overwhelmed all game long.
Quinn keeps helping so much defensively that it’s leaving one of their bigs completely unimpeded for offensive rebounds
Tough, defense needs to be better to win these games
Have you been watching the entire game?
Unfortunately, that was a typical Mooney road game against an equal opponent. Disappointing that we never seem to know how to actually win games like these.

playing a team with a shred of talent we will lose 95 times out of 100. Saw this coming.
Always hard winning on the road against good teams. We were expected to lose by 3.5, but our shots were not falling. Look forward to turning things around Saturday night.
SpiderDad75, another terrific game by your son. 3-5 shooting, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
🙏🏼 Got to work on FTs and like for him to up the aggressiveness a tad but this is the Dji that I know and love🙌🏼
Agree that Noyes first 2-minutes were not well played. But, He received the Mooney burial tonight, and he was never exhumed. I fear that it is now likely to be a wasted season for him from here on out. Down and/or disappeared is not the direction the team needs him to go.
Spiders will not be better if Noyes is kicked to the curb by Mooney.
I disagree, Noyes will have an opportunity on Saturday to get his grove back.
Yes, he called one at 12:45 after the Shockers had an 8–0 run to push the lead from 3 to 11.
Not sure how much it helped, as the Shockers got a steal and a bucket right after that and then there was a TV timeout.
We steadied a bit after that, but then they gradually opened the margin further.
One of my biggest wishes for a Mooney team is very simple: Surprise me! Do something unexpected! On the positive side, we have four blowout wins, which despite the level of competition WAS unexpected. So that’s a start.
But losing a game like this was completely predictable. At some point, you need to win road games against middling competition. You just have to do it. Especially in OOC series, and especially when you blew your own home court opportunity against them the year before
