    Richmond at Kansas

    Actually the Q1 win on the road over a very solid and likely NCAA tournament participant Belmont was a huge win and happened just a few months ago. I should also remind you all that only two A10 teams have more Q1 wins than we do and among all the other teams outside of those two we have the...

    Game Thread - @ Loyola Sat Feb 28 4pm EST - CBS Sport Network

    A valiant effort to nearly come back and win the game in the face of so much adversity. We’re talking about a conference road game in a hostile environment, down a key player due to a season ending injury, and without another key piece because Coach Mooney chose to hold him accountable for being...

    Game Thread - Bonnie at RC - Sat 2/21 6pm ESPN+

    Shameful. Big congrats to the team, nearly hung 100 points on a historically strong Bonnies team. I say let's keep the momentum going and ride it to Pittsburgh.

    3-1 Finish incoming

    Apparently being optimistic and hopeful that we finish the season on a strong note is a bad thing around here. With fans like these who needs enemies.

    Refreshing to see some positivity around here, thank you Brooklyn.

    At Davidson

    Hard to crush the staff for this one though I'm sure some of you will try. Losing a key player such as Beagle for the season before the game even tips changes everything from rotations and psyches, to game plan, and confidence. These problems are magnified that much more on the road where it is...

    OOC check in - nothing has changed

    I won't pretend to know what turn of events lead to each of those games being scheduled though I do know a good percentage of them came as a result of MTE participation which that is a whole other conversation and set of obstacles that a program such as ours is forced to navigate. But look at...

    OOC check in - nothing has changed

    Disingenuous take. Men’s basketball just isn’t comparable to women’s hoops or lacrosse. All those games you mentioned are great for those sports but they don’t operate under the same financial pressure and power dynamics as MBB. All the recent factors that have distorted the NCAA landscape (NET...

    We are being materially outspent

    You could probably pick two top players off of VCU's team and combine their NIL earnings together and it would equal or surpass our programs entire budget. Comparing these two teams is like judging two chefs when one gets a stocked gourmet kitchen and the other gets a hot plate and a dollar...

    Game Thread - VCU @RC Sat 2/14 6PM CBS Sports Network

    Losing to your in-city rival always stings, especially when it can start to feel like this keeps happening. But if we’re being fair about THIS game, it wasn’t the disaster people are making it out to be. The first half was rough but the way this team came out after halftime? That matters. They...

    Mooney--an under appreciated coach.

    Exactly, imagine the average fan thinking they CARE more about winning than the head coach! If my math is right Coach Mooney has spent close to 40% of his life building up our program yet some would claim he doesn't care.

    We are being materially outspent

    A part of me gets the frustration, but context matters. Coach Mooney has been here over 20 years because he’s built stability at a place that simply doesn’t have the same resources as the top of this league. Look at what’s happening across the conference — the upper-tier programs as mentioned...

    Mooney--an under appreciated coach.

    At the time that we defeated them they were number 2 in the conference but sure let's discount that because they have "tough ones ahead" as long as it fits the agenda.

    Mooney--an under appreciated coach.

    We just went wire to wire, did not allow the Patriots to lead for a single second, complete domination of a top 2 team in the conference. I think a lot of you owe SpiderWill and especially Coach Mooney a little apology.
