Game Thread - East Carolina at RC - Saturday 11/8 6pm ESPN+

[Spider17]

Great energy from the spiders. Beagle, JRob, and Argabright were excellent. I like that we’re scoring more in the paint and driving to the basket. Force the refs to call the fouls, which they have. Had some defensive lapses leaving open 3’s and our perimeter shooting hasn’t been that great either, but when you play with tenacity like pressing on defense and driving to the basket on offense, and get rebounds (we are out rebounding them 19-14) good things happen. Let’s keep it up in the 2nd half.

Tough to be critical when we are 15 points ahead, but how is J Rob still the 11th man in the rotation and behind AP of all people!

I think Mooney sees him as a 4, or even 5, not a 3 like AP. I don't think he is competing for minutes with AP.

Edit: actually he was directly subbed for AP at one point, so I guess they are competing for minutes.

I think we are pretty interchangeable outside the 5 but just cant see any scenario in which AP should be getting solid minutes and J Rob is on the bench.

Love our depth this year. Wow

Can’t say enough good things about Argabright. I haven’t seen a true freshman look this good since Gilly. He’s been so good.

100% was just saying that as well. He’s so composed for a freshman, not afraid of anything

 

[Spider17]

So many fouls. Feels like every 45 seconds of game time there’s a foul called

 

[PhillySpider]

Argabright certainly showing out! But Lopez and Johnston not showing me much. Defensively they have been OK but offensively not much! And Daughtry should be getting all the minutes he can handle!

 

[PhillySpider]

And right on cue Johnston hits a 3

 

[SpiderPrime]

Johnston has a quick release, nice stroke. He’ll get there

 

[spiders13]

I think with this much talent we won’t have to rely on one or two to get us going. I feel like any given game, someone can go off. Lots of options

 

[PhillySpider]

And Coach with the patented kill our own momentum while on a run timeout after we score. I really just don't understand why he ever does that!

One of the greatest mysteries of the 21st century

 

[SpiderPrime]

I’m surprised by Daughtry. He’s like a bull in a china shop with a soft touch

 

[fan2011]

Are we going to set a record for most free throws in a game?

 

[Gallipoli]

We are 21 ahead of a pretty good ECU team. Our bench players are out scoring our starters.

 

[spiders13]

I don’t know really see how AP gets lots of playing time moving forward. Doesn’t really bring much at all imo.

 

[fan2011]

We have some players on this team.

Yep have to think he gets it going at some point. Or maybe not. Argabright looking like a dude so far certainly buys some time. Nice W for the Spiders. Loved the unis. Nice tribute to Beck!
