3-1 Finish incoming

[Long Time UR Fan]

Wane on brother.

Just ask VT4700, former loyalist, he's waning big time now.

When there is a change, i hope this group will be vocal in support even if the basis is finally some hope.

Agreed. Although my sense is this community would throw their full weight behind a piece of toast at this point.

LOL. I would give the new coach a free year in the win/loss column if he just shows some life and excitement in his press conferences, at least has a plan to share to give us hope, and, most importantly, says we will win and does not make any excuses why we won't win.

Actually, I was waning in support last year. I am well past waning now. My support level is at 0, and has been pretty much since the schedule came out, followed by the excuses and the whining about it.

 

[MrTbone]

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.

Enemies? I want what’s best for the program, that’s clearly the need for new leadership.

Those who want to wallow in mediocrity for another decade are inarguably bigger enemies to UR basketball.

FWIW, I still hold out delusional hope that we can make an A10 run. I still watch the games. I just want more winning. I'll absolutely support.

Also, to follow up my previous post about coaches in one place for 20+ years, we keep hearing on broadcasts about Martelli and Chaney now that Moon is #3 in A10 wins. It made me curious to their coaching stats.

Martelli - 24 seasons, .575 winning %. 444-328 record
7 NCAA appearances. 6 regular season A10 championships. 1 legendary #1 seed team.
Last 5 years: Losing season, Won 28 games, Losing season, .500 season, Losing season and was fired.

Chaney - 24 seasons, .671 winning %, 516-253 record.
17 NCAAs, 7 regular season A10 championships. 1 legendary #1 seed team.

Chris Mooney - 21 seasons, .551 winning %, 372-303 record.
3 NCAAs, 1 regular season A10 championship. Zero #1 seed legendary teams.

Moon not far off from Martelli for wins/win %, but Martelli made more than twice as many NCAAs, 6x more regular season titles (in some of the more competitive A10 seasons) and his highest high was extremely prominent. So it's not quite the same - he earned way more leeway with those tournaments and that #1 seed team.

Also, Martelli got canned.

there's one of the 3.

 

[MrTbone]

there's one of the 3.

Yup. I think we might go 2-2 instead of 3-1. Dayton feels like a loss and Duquesne had won 5 straight before losing to Dayton today. Normally we own them but not feeling so confident this season.

If we lose to Loyola that’ll be a real kick in the nuts.

 

[gospidersgo]

We always beat Duquesne no matter our record. Until they break that trend I'm not ever predicting a loss in that matchup.

I know, it’s very weird.

This group is aging out. I hope we all live long enough to see that change, Fan1.

I feel like the change is years away. Most of the guys who grew up on Tarrant and Beilein will be numb by then, and it seems like those that grew up on Mooney just have super low expectations or too much indoctrination from the Triumvirate.

 

[KE Spider]

Lordy guys, I'm not ready to call the undertaker just yet. Determined to outlast Mooney's tenure.

For those of us who grew up on Lewis Mills, Carl Sloane and Goetz (all good guys by the way), we have seen the Good, the Bad and the Ugly over many years, not in that order. Would love to see the sustained Good again like in the Tarrant years.

When names like Tarrant and of course Beilein also are mentioned it brings back memories of just how good UR bb could be. One day we’ll get there again.

 

[SFspidur]

Okay, there's the 1. So now two more wins to finish things out.

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

it would be classic Moon to lose to Loyola and then beat Dayton at home. And he owns Duquesne.

Trust the math.

 

[Spiderp31]

your prediction is way off. Dayton is on a hot streak and we just lost to the worst team in the league

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

Have you seen Moon's body of work the last 20 years? Trust the math.
