At Davidson

[MDSpider8]

Even the Davidson fans see how far we've fallen.

Gotta admit, his argument that they killed us at home, so we should be happy with a close loss in the road is very Moondog-esque.

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 already more difficult for any team to secure a win in conference. Just a few weeks ago we had few answers at home for this same team, and now shorthanded, we were right there until the end in their building. That’s growth, plain and simple.

No moral victories in the standings, sure, but our guys competed, adjusted, and showed real resilience under brutal circumstances. That speaks to preparation and buy-in, not coaching failure and on that front the staff absolutely did their job. Road games are hard enough with your full lineup and asking for a clean win without one of your best players vs a powerful conference foe is unrealistic.

I originally thought you are part of a new media blitz out of the athletic department but since you spell correctly I have changed my mind.

Guys played hard. Can’t buy a break, but you have to create and earn your breaks.

I thought JR had some nice plays. AA one tough player.

Put Davidson in the column of another team currently owning Mooney. Another season sweep.

Davidson is powerful

Broke his finger and done? Tape that shit up bro.

Sonny Smith (former VCU coach way back) once broke his arm while playing the ACC all stars. He taped it up with a tape can and kept playing. True story. Have it from two very (or not very) reliable sources.

In reality, my guess is Beags will suit up and play in the A10 tourney.

Dead give away.

This is so fake. Hope u are enjoying your silly charade. That is all I will say.

VT laying down the law! I remember when he was a Mooney defender. I’m shocked at what I’m seeing

We've now lost season series to VCU, GW, RI, and Davidson. To lose series against these team says more about MoonCo than the opposition. We know long term that Mooney can't compete with VCU. I believe Davidson has won 5 in a row against us. Can't speak to the others.

We won at St Bon early in season & have a chance to sweep them this Saturday.

Coach Nepo at an even smaller school with less resources than us has now beat Mooney 5 games in a row. Let that sink in. Davidson has been completely mediocre since he has been there but yet still managed to run up a 5 game win streak against Moon man.

Getting swept by Davidson and being on a 5 game losing streak can only help. I think the administration HAS to see Davidson as a peer, whereas VCU not so much.

Of course, Davidson is going to get the NIL rolling with Curry and then it will be back to little ‘ol Richmond with no current NBA representation.

1 update 2nd half. Flagship.

And no postgame interview. Don’t we normally at least record Moon interview w Bob & Ungerer…What is going on here.

1 tweet and no postgame posted. I get it we stink & don’t have a huge socially active fanbase but come on those things should be automatic.

Is Jason Vida still with Richmond?

They did interview Mooney and AA after the game, it's linked here. (FF to the end of the broadcast.) Mooney sounded pretty upbeat for a coach who just got his ass served to him on a platter yet again. I feel bad for AA. Kid is a warrior.

 

[whampas]

I'm afraid AA can't wait to get the heck out.

based on what? please stop projecting our own disappointments on our only reason for hope.

Thanks. But no video. Normally link to video in recap story which goes straight to that. Having only audio off radio broadcast that u have to dig to get and fast forward to find is bush league.

Based on the fact that the kid is a proven winner and he's hooked up with a proven mediocre coach, at best, whose record is spiraling downward from 55% at an increasing rate. There is no sign of hope at present.

 

[Urmite]

They tried but that was difficult because Beagle has…

 

[Urmite]

Powerful conference foe? My guy, they’re 8-5 in conference, hardly a juggernaut.

You can slow your roll on the PR initiative, this group isn’t buying it.

7-6?

Based on the state of all of college basketball. Hello? You cannot act like that this isn't a possibility.

of course it's possible. and I get that you'd leave. but the kid has said nothing public nor acted in any way that I know of to indicate he wants to bail.
