I did not watch, but my goodness the stats from Tyne, Tanner, and Johnston are alarmingly bad. It seems impossible to play a combined 53 minutes and go 1-6 from the floor, not get to the FT line, score 2 total points, and have 1 total assist. That is invisible on steroids. I would not start any of them next game. Just unacceptable, no impact basketball.

Lost ANOTHER game to a third-rate team from a conference no one knows and one that appeared to have purchased its uniforms on the side of the road somewhere on the way to the game. Just a total embarrassment, again. Make it stop.

Great and terribly sad observation from the end of the 1st half. Trend continues that we are bad and the start and end of most halfs.

I was at the game yesterday. The Blaine kid from CSU scored 17 points in the first half with a 3 point shooting clinic. He appears to be from Richmond and had a good group of fans. We survived that took the lead in the second half and after a back and forth game watched them put on an offensive rebounding clinic for about a 3 minute stretch led by a 7 footer who finished with 4 points he scored in that stretch on the court.
I shudder to think of what an athletic group of rebounders like VCU or GMU do against us if we don’t make some adjustments.

Have you ever seen rebounding adjustments by a Mooney led team?

Nothing ages well when Mooney is your coach. What a joke we have running the program
Walz, Tyne, Johnston and Tanner were absolute jokes in this game. Only needed the first possession of the game to know all 4 should have been planted on the bench the rest of the game.
We have one A10 level player in our starting 5 and four A10 level players coming off the bench. You do the math.
Clownshow Mooney has to go. What a joke

80s Fan and his ilk will never let go of Mooney. They look around and say everything is fine while drinking single malt scotch in their own little bubble. They say "11-3 is great" and say we should rename the court after Mooney. They think the poors don't know anything about basketball and they have all the answers.
Who has said this this year? I haven't heard much of that on here at all.
I think that the pro-Mooney clan is lurking and hasn’t joined the new board.
I think they have their own chat group as mentioned by Jim Merritt in tbe Spiders Sound Off episode:
“You know, one of the things that we've done with the Men's Basketball Development Fund, and it was started by the outside collective guys. They have like a monthly call with Chris, and they will put a couple of players on it. It's not unlike this, where it's like an interview with them.
And it's actually entertaining, and the people on the call make fun of each other. It's like it's kind of a cool little ecosystem. There's a text exchange where all the quick directors are on.
It's informative and entertaining, and almost there's a cool social community aspect to it, too.”

And the assistant coaches have to be the most inept group of coaches ever assembled. Time to show all of them the door along with Mooney.

you blocked me on Twitter. I assumed you were a Mooney guy but now, I’m wondering why you did that in the first place. No hard feelings and keep me blocked if you want too idc, just curious cause I assumed you were done with the Mooney slander.
I think every program will have pro coach supporters like this. I was talking about our board and how 80s fan is randomly mentioned when I don't think he has posted for a few years now.I think that the pro-Mooney clan is lurking and hasn’t joined the new board.
