Game Thread - GW @ RC New Years Eve 4pm ESPN+

Serious question: if Soulis had stayed, would he be our best 5 right now?

Hard to say but I don't think he's making any noticeable difference against a guy like Rafael Castro.

This is what I imagine Mo Alie-Cox would look like against Matt Grace

Likely

What a joke, pathetic

 

[Spider2020]

Hard to be competitive when you give up >50% from three (at high volume too) and also give up 20+ to an opposing big

 

[whampas]

Gonna lay a hundred on us.

 

[Spider2020]

They may score 120

 

[Spiders4ever]

So I guess the OCC wasn't really a good test.

The real 25-26 Spider Men's basketball team on full display. For those of you that held hope this should snuff out the flame. 21 years of Mooney is about 11 too many.

This is what you get when you play Sweet Briar College as a warm up.

You know it's bad when we can't even compete. That's the goal at Richmond, just compete.

The stats show we scored 80. How is that not compete?

 

[SFspidur]

Kept them under 100…well done!

I was way off base. Scored 85

 

[Spiderp31]

I am so glad our offense can score so many points. Maybe next time I learn how to guard someone.

Agree. How many of us have been calling for a change for years? His coaching skills were on full display tonight. And look at the results. I’ve said it before, but I was closer to GW shooters on wide open 3’s than Mooney’s outstanding defensive coverage. More games like this on the way.

Very disappointing showing. The defense was abysmal. Not only did we leave guys open all over the place, we fouled multiple 3 point shooters in the second half. But even more worrisome is the interior defense. I'm not confident we have the ability to guard strong A10 big men.

No reason to be snide.

Remember beating Purdue, Kentucky, Iowa?? Remember beating VCU at VCU when they were in top 25. Remember beating Vanderbilt in NCAA tournament?? Yeah, have a bad year or two and the wolves are out.

We remember (was at both the KY and Iowa wins) and they were good times for sure ... just curious, do you make it to RC much? Would love to have a chat or a beverage at some point with you since I am a centrist in our ongoing situation and would be a good chat ...

Just stop it! Our coach sucks! 3 trips in 20 plus years. Enough of this shit show!
