similar success with fewer resources was my main argument. IIRC when analyzed on old board UR's bball budget was something like 50% higher than SBU's. That doesn't factor in the long, cold winter in Olean vs UR's beautiful campus setting either as selling points to recruits (sooooo leafy.) .577...

Also, both opponent wins in the 2-14 were vs SBU (Fordham, Lasalle's only wins) Other than Loyola, UR has played 3 of the real dregs of the league. The loss to SJU doesn't bode well vs the middle teams, while the blowouts to SLU and GW would seem to be harbingers for results vs the top tier.

Newell was the only Spider to miss a shot in that quarter, of the 7 Spiders who attempted a field goal. Wow.

13-16 FG, 6-8 from 3, wow what a performance in that quarter.

What a first quarter! Ullstrom came to play! Everyone contributing. This is the play of the team we can see making a run. 32-9 after 1Q!!!! What a shot by Sweeney!

I know this was debated in the old forum with me on the side that Schmidt was a better coach simply because of the issues recruiting and retaining players in Olean, the level of resources allotted the program and the like. However, I'm willing to admit that he's not all that impressive, and I...

This is the real throw away year in the long game, thus the OOC schedule. Last year was the year of realization that the cupboard was bare. This year was the keep the heat off you year. Schedule terribly, win more games against bad teams, let the transfers all play. Next year is the keep the...

Man I don't know how you have the ability to carry this thread through with these updates, our fool's gold was exposed nationwide today, but even before that we knew our opponent's results would mean nothing for us, given how poor the OOC schedule was. Thanks for it, I do especially appreciate...

we made 9 shots from the field? seriously though, am somewhat surprised we had 9 assists. felt like most buckets were iso. the Moonball offense just doesn't lead to buckets against good defenses. It leads to a full reset up top at about the 13 second mark on the shot clock and then someone like...

Thread answer: yes. If anyone else cared, things would change. I got a pic sent to me of 7 students in student section during game against Lasalle. Rest of it empty. No one else cares. If the university or admins cared they would be embarrassed that stuff like that circulates amongst alums...

Johnston, Daughtry, Lopez are gunners who seem to play best in a fast paced system that prioritizes tempo, pushing the ball and scoring in transition/secondary transition. All are minus defenders. Daughtry has a massive turnover problem in the half court. But UR has regressed from OOC where...

As a recap, from the very first offensive possession, UR had no real plan of how to attack a disciplined, good defense. Just shoot long contested jumpers that they missed. Then the unforced turnovers started, runouts started, and SLU 3s and UR had exactly zero response or plan of how to change...

"88-63 is the final, in a game that honestly was not even that close."

McGlothin didn't sniff the court in a monster loss like this. No chance he is here next season.

smells like an extension should be in the works any day now! Hardt just woke up and likes being 13-6. but he's heading back to sleep as winter is not over yet.
