Can’t blame them at all after last year. A season like that takes a while to recover from in terms of student interest.

Big quiddich tournament today

Good finish from Thomas. This one seems like it will be a struggle until the buzzer.

Walz with the confident 15 footer

 

[SFspidur]

There's that double-digit lead...now finish them!

 

[Fatherspider]

Walz made a comment in yesterday's press conference about Belmont being our first non-con road win since 2021. Felt like it came straight from MDSpider8's post on that subject.

Wow that is sad. And there were a lot of bad teams in there over the year.

Daughtry is an absolute beast! Adds such a different dynamic to our team

He just refuses to be denied.

Good bucket from Tyne. Now get Daughtry back in moon.

 

[*23*]

Walz with the block, Daughtry with the dunk on other end. Love it.

 

[Spider17]

What a great defensive stance from Walz! Making big play after big play on defense. Love the aggression getting the ball in the paint too.

 

[SFspidur]

Refs swallowing their whistles. Walz was clearly fouled on his miss, and then I'm not sure his block was clean, but I'll certainly take that trade.

 

[SFspidur]

17 and 8 for Daughtry, 16 and 8 for Walz, 8 and 5 for Beagle.

6 of them I was at ... painful

 

[fan2011]

Good to see a win where we have an off shooting day. This team can win in a number of ways.

 

[*23*]

Nice win today. I think a little hard to come out after that big win at Belmont. But battled through it and got the W.
Per SF's stats, really nice effort by all the bigs.
Walz walked out of the dog house, picked me up and threw me in there.

Let's see it again and again from Walz.

 

[Spider17]

Gritty win from the Spiders. We played with a lot of effort. We didn’t give up when the 3’s and free throws weren’t falling and ODU was at an arms distance almost the whole game. That is what effort gets you. Fighting for rebounds, playing with tenacity on D, creating your opportunities on offense by driving to the basket. This is what I want to keep seeing not just this year but in the future as well.

Best game I’ve seen from Walz in a while. He played strong, confident, and as a leader this game. Daughtry continues to be in beast mode and I love his assertiveness. Offense isn’t falling for AP but I think today was one of his better games as a spider and perhaps his best defensive game I’ve seen. He had a lot of key blocks and a steal. Thomas is quickly becoming one of my favorite spiders this season. His play reminds me a lot of DLo his first year as a transfer: May not be the go to scorer but makes plays when needed, doesn’t make mistakes, and fits our overall style of play really well.

ODU isn’t good this year but they had a key player out with injury who just came back today. I can see them finishing in the top half of the Sun belt. Always great to beat an in-state rival.

 

[Urmite]

No kidding. I am squarely in the trap game mindset and expecting the Spiders to be down at the half. Then I expect a close second half and a single digit win. We will see soon.

Do you expect that?

Lot of missed calls last 5 mins.

And we outrebounded them. Like we've done to almost everyone else. The world has turned upside down.
