Game thread - @ VCU Tuesday 1/27 7pm CBS Sports Network

Still assume this game will happen but wonder if they would do the no fans thing .. Figure AA starts again - not sure about David Thomas. No score projection.

 

[ManiBenton]

here we go again…..

. No score projection.

I take this as a vote of no confidence

 

[Spiderp31]

I guess no fans cause of snow.

vcu 82, spiders 61

vcu 82, spiders 61

82=vcu halftime total; 61=ur game total

 

[localspider]

VCU new game record for 3 point makes.

 

[MrTbone]

This feels like a classic trap game for VCU.

Nevermind, just kidding.

 

[SFspidur]

VCU new game record for 3 point makes.

The bar is high at 20.

 

[Section9_RowD]

Realizing not optimistic about the game, anyone else going tonight? Considering since bored of being snowed in and such ...

 

[ur2K]

Sad state of affairs when we are playing our biggest rival and I don't give AF about the game tonight.

 

[ManiBenton]

It’s like a colonoscopy, you have to get it done, but you won’t enjoy it

The colonoscopy itself is not bad, just a little nap and then go home. The prep is not great. With Mooney we have been doing the prep for 20 years and now we are entering the nap part.

Not sure if they’ll make 20, but I can guarantee they’ll have 20 open looks with our defense

Legit lol. Had mine last summer and this tracks.

 

[SpiderPrime]

We will lose by 40 and then be laughed out of the building. We need to do something about Mooney

Or we will be down by 20, VCU will let off the gas, and end up losing by 10 and Bob Black and Mooney can tell us on postgame about the incredible response in the 2nd half that our Spiders had.

Speaking of VCU. Again, we are told how HARD, nearly impossible for a mid major to schedule good games. Here is VCU's opponents OOC by kenpom rank: 32 Utah State, 26 NC State, 69 USF, 13 Vanderbilt, 57 Va Tech, 46 New Mexico.

We had one in that range, 64 Belmont. I know beating a dead horse but when Mooney says how hard it is wish someone would provide that list. Then challenge the next excuse he would make.

 

[Section9_RowD]

Finalized decision and bought 2 seats for a friend and I. Row G behind the bench. Godspeed.

Compare and contrast VCU's OOC schedule with ours. Ours is just plain embarrassing.

Mooney to Martelli - "Great effort your team played against Utah State".

Maretlli to Mooney - "Backatcha on that big win of yours over VMI."
