Game Thread - @ GW Saturday 1/24 3pm USA

[PhillySpider]

I don't think I can take much more of this. Argabright, Harper and J Rob should each get 35 minutes and fill the rest in with whomever you like. Those three are the only ones who have a chance to be part of a Richmond program that might be respectable again someday and we should play them (and pay them) accordingly and the rest can fill in the remaining minutes until we are able to replace them! And to be clear, I think most all of the rest are good guys who play hard and care. This rant is about CM and the run down state of the program and the administration that enables him to do this while being grossly overpaid and not the players (who I actually feel sorry for).

Like that the announcers have highlighted that we shoot more mid-range shots than anyone in the A10. You know, the widely accepted worst shot in modern basketball. Good strategy

Did I hear announcer say that AP came in with reputation as a shooter? Hmmm.

David Thomas is defending Castro in the post - a recipe for success

He’s also already pointed out that our defense over helps and leaves guys wide open for 3 as a result. Mooney’s had years to see this and hasn’t adjusted

Mooney: No way all these teams can keep shooting the 3 so well against us. The national average is way lower than what teams shoot against us - - keep leaving 'em open - it'll all even out eventually

Plz be patient. It took CM 20 years to install this defense. In the next 20 years you will see the tweaks to make it a model and be truly successful.

 

[PhillySpider]

And seriously - - where the F was Harper all year? We couldn't play him the first 17 games while we gave everyone else a freaking chance?

He and Argabright are our best players. They should be playing a zillion minutes together

 

[KE Spider]

With our defense, it looks like a GW shoot around. Ridiculous.

 

[Urmite]

Well he did shoot 56% from 3 the season before he got here…

We just didn’t research it was 5 of 9…

Good news is we are one game closer to the end of this nightmare.

 

[whampas]

We suck. Mooney sucks. It's not going to change any time soon.

 

[KE Spider]

This program is a joke.

 

[Spiderguy]

Look at that $hit OOC schedule we played. We ran up a bunch of meaningless wins and now getting blown out regularly in league play with VCU next up on Tuesday.

 

[PhillySpider]

We suck. Mooney sucks. It's not going to change any time soon.

And the schedule now pisses me off even more - - clearly just an attempt to cover up how bad we are and provide cover to Mooney and Hardt supported it all. The state of the program is at its low point since before Tarrant took over in 1981 (Yes, worse than Dooley years!).

 

[ManiBenton]

Vcu next…… 91-48 this time

 

[vt4700]

Stat of the year:

GW scores 49 in the 1st half of their 1st game against us.

GW then scores 50 points in the 2nd half.

GW then scores 52 points in the 1st half of this game.

Wow. What fantastic adjustments we made here.

I actually watched the first few minutes, but it was obvious we would get destroyed when every possession was easy for them and hard for us. I stopped watching at 15 or whatever to 3.

 

[UR Fan 2]

Going 78-75 Richmond. When it happens, may go down as greatest call ever!

Obviously this prediction is not aging well....

 

[fan2011]

Kind of crazy how bad out defense is. We need to not help and leave wide open 3pt shooters.

 

[Spider2020]

Extremely embarrassing. Let the walk ons play, maybe they will contest threes

Edit: realized Kirby is the only walk on

 

[SpiderPrime]

Wow we suck even more than I thought. Did we compete SpiderWill?
