Game thread - @ Fordham - Sunday 1/4 noon ESPN+

Great game from Lopez today!

Refs refuse to call offensive fouls on fordham. So many moving screens. Our players get called for the foul instead. FT and foul disparity is crazy.

 

[Spiders4ever]

I think talent is the difference in this one.

 

[SpiderPrime]

Harper > Tanner

 

[fan2011]

Both Walz and Beagle on the floor, hopefully we can get some rebounds in these final seconds.

Has Fordham drawn many fouls this season before today?

 

[Urmite]

What is our record scoring 74+? Vs 73 or less?

 

[SpiderRick]

Solid last 8 minutes from the Spiders...

 

[whampas]

on the spot, before he gets on the team plane.

Damn, Mooney slipped in just before they closed the door.

Don’t think I saw AP play for like the last 15 minutes of the second half. Mooney really starting to shorten the rotation.

Mooney benched him after he got 2 offensive rebounds on one possession.

You may already know the answer... but Fordham ranks almost dead last in D1 in ft attempts per fg attempt, which is a good proxy for fouls drawn. Defensively they are also top 5 in the country for lowest opponent FTA/FGA, so there is some precedence there.

8 pt road win is solid, even against Fordham. Probably will improve our computer numbers.

 

[fan2011]

Would love to see more of Harper, though would prefer he eats Tyne's minutes instead of JRob's or Tanner's. Would be nice defensively to have more height on the floor.

Solid win and finish but we’ll really struggle with any team who’s not fordham offensively

I did see that. Wasn’t sure if it meant they don’t draw or commit many fouls.

Bothering me that announcers keep calling Daughtry the hometown guy. Must be mistaking him with Lopez

Yep, they said he was from Queens. And Lopez is from Queens. That announcer was Dereck Whittenburg of NC State fame apparently.

 

[ManiBenton]

Bigs gotta fight more downlow. Too many second chance opportunities.

Both, essentially. They draw a very low number of fouls and commit a very low number of fouls usually.

Good execution (and getting the ball in Johnston's hands) down the stretch. The Fordham bigs were huge but atrocious. They would catch the ball five feet from the basket but too slow to get a shot off. The one guy had a double double in the first half but shot an airball at the FT line, followed by a foot to the right.

Want to see as much possible of Argabright, Johnston, Lopez, and Daughtry. Would like to see Thomas play more - from what I have seen is more solid than Tyne. Liked what I saw from Harper. Someone needs to implant a neuralink in Walz head and control him. Lot of potential but just cannot stay aggressive.
