[Long Time UR Fan]

No AP again. He put up 7/2/2 in his last game and has been glued to the pine ever since

AP is definitely in Mooney's doghouse. No telling when, if ever, he will play again.

AP is a 20% 3 point shooter over 2 years and this is his final season. There is basically no reason to ever put him in ahead of Robinson or even Tanner, basically anyone who will be here next season. Robinson actually makes things happen on offense and is a big body on defense who plays physically.

If we play a meaningful game in the A10 tourney, and need a defensive sub for a possession or an off/def rotation late, sure, why not. But tonight's game where UR won bc all the shooters were on the court and hitting, shows how UR will win - by firing from 3 and playing fast. Glou doesn't fit bc he cannot shoot.

sorry @GlouGuy it didn't pan out. If he shot 33% and not 20% he'd probably still be playing a decent amount.

I don’t know what goes into scheduling refs, but UR must be where they send refs who need remediation. This crew was a total zero. Fortunately, the game wasn’t close and all the refs did was make the game last longer than it should have.

 

[ManiBenton]

Winning one game shouldn’t be the goal

I agree I didn’t say that. I was just alluding to not giving your hopes up. I’m sure that probably doesn’t apply to you in this case.

 

[ManiBenton]

Also beagle gotta be smarter. That flagrant was so unnecessary

Clean block by Jrob at the end. Good to have Argabright back. He has the highest basketball IQ on the team by far and just makes plays.

 

[SpiderPrime]

Didn’t even know there was a game tonight due to lack of enthusiam. Glad the players finally got a W

 

[MrTbone]

Not really we got knocked out the first round in the Atlantic 10 tournament that one year. Totally unacceptable

We are 27-3 against them this century. That’s pretty dominating.

FTR, this is not any kind of feather in our cap, I’m just noting that it’s one of the few A10 opponents we pretty much own.

And clearly our best player. Would love to see Jaylen get a lot more minutes.

I honestly don’t know that AP brings enough to help us win, so perhaps CM is doing the unusual thing and developing a future talent in JRob.

 

[MrTbone]

great first half, and withstood any let down, except for the final 8 minutes where a 26 point lead became 12 point win. Glad we don't need margin of victory this year.

Play fast, take threes, have fun. Seems simple.

this. We got bogged down when we got into the half court set/weave. Stuff happened when we took open 3s and got to the rim.

Legit lol

Totally dumb. He sat the rest of the way.

My son loves when AA and JRob are in the game, even a 9yo can see what they bring in terms of talent/energy.

 

[Urmite]

Wow, we won

Very often, That is the proper response.

Fordham faithful here coming off our own impressive 3rd road win (this time vs St Joes ) I’m glad u guys figured out Mincy, it was only a matter of time . By the way, Walz and Allenspach eerily similar…..

It was nice to not have Tyne and Argabright guarding a big under the basket during a bunch of possessions. It feels like we give up a dozen points a game from that and tonight I only remember one bucket.

 

[Gallipoli]

I liked the combination of Tyne and Argabright on the court at the same time. I noticed when Tyne was hot Argabright got him the ball and he connected on 3's.
Good players compliment each other that way.

It helped a ton that Mason wasn’t shooting a ton of threes and not making many that they did. We often get chaotic on D when our opponent is shooting and hitting on 3s.

Life is tough, people. Just take the win.
