I’ll be there too right up lake shore drive from my house

I think we will do the pre game thing at Randall's Pub ...

A great showing today. We win by 12 and praise the improvement as we prepare for the tournament.

I've been on record for weeks with this flagged as the only game with real importance for the MoonCrew.

Lose and there is no sugarcoating real progress in this season. The only real effect is longer term though, as it *MIGHT* put real pressure on next season, being a losing season and a no-progress season preceding it.

Moon has feasted on bottom dwellers this year though, that much is obvious, so fully expecting a win.

Loy Chi underdog at home by 4.5. Books obviously show them no respect.

Loyola is shooting 30.8% from 3 ( 332nd in the country). Their opponents are shooting 38.2% from 3 ( 360th worst 3 pt D in the country). They average 66.7 ppg (346th in the country) and give up 77.2 ppg (273rd in country). They have lost 16 games by 12 or more points. Just an average team would be favored by double digits against them. But, we are not an average team. Not even close. Sad.

A loss this evening at #308 Loyola Chicago would be a cherry on top of a cacata and toadstool Mooney sandwhich

Got a chuckle at the announcer saying one of the keys for us is to dominate the paint. Lol!

 

[vt4700]

Just checked score on my phone. Is 6 points in 8+ minutes good? My guess is we probably aren't aggressive enough. Shoot, if we could just be aggressive, I am thinking final four.

I heard that. Obviously he knows Mooney’s game prep.

Tyne just fouled guy he was guarding away from the ball. Guy looked good 8-10 inches taller. Another of Moon’s chosen defensive specialities.

 

[Spiderp31]

Another slow start. I guess the turtle will find a way to win this race.

 

[SpiderRick]

WHY do I watch this?

 

[Spider2020]

We are showing our level. Bottom 4 is well deserved. Team is devoid of talent

 

[72Spider]

Love how moon recruits such great shooters to fit his system

No, you got it all wrong VT. The problem is we are only spending $2 million on NIL. Can’t expect us to play well against powerhouse A10 programs like Loyola with that little amount of money.

Is Daughtry hurt? AP getting a lot of time.

We legitimately have not had a good high school recruiting class in a decade

We are somehow underperforming to all these averages today. Brutal.

Who on the staff is responsible for identifying and approving the talent?

 

[MrTbone]

We are down 13 before halftime to a terrible team. Wtaf.

 

[Spider2020]

Johnston with a crisp 0 points, 0 rebounds, and 0 assists on 0 shot attempts. Wonder why much NIL was wasted on him
