Game Thread - vs Charlotte in Orlando 12:30 PM, Fri 11/28 ESPN+

Well still bummed about most things about today's game but team and fans need to regroup since we play again in < 20 hours. Spiders rebound 78-62.

We were out of an at-large contention the moment our schedule was announced. Now, I'm curious to see how this team responds these next 2 games. Charlotte will probably be a similar caliber team as Furman and Belmont will be the best team we face OOC. How we respond will determine whether we finish 8-10th in conference or whether this team is capable of contending for a top 4 seed and hopes of A10 title.

I think Charlotte is a bit worse than Furman, might be closer to ECU. Belmont is quite a bit better.

Smells like a 7-point loss to me. Didn't they house us last year too?

This is what I was saying in a different way on the Furman thread. The OOC outcomes are meaningless. Granted since the schedule is so poor, the expectation is that there will be a record with double digit wins and a few losses max. Still on pace for that sort of outcome, so there is hope that the team will be able to finish in the top half of the conference and hopefully better. I agree that the next few games will tell us about the team resilience and getting some wins away from home would be another positive sign.

Yes I was at the game ... i sadly pretty much eliminated thoughts of heading to the Belmont game after what I saw today

 

[ManiBenton]

We lose this one 86-74. Mooney will spinzone the loss like this “well it’s our first time playing away from home”

 

[Spiders4ever]

Spiders win but don't cover. 83-80

 

[fan2011]

84-71.

 

[SpiderRick]

I'm sorry, but at this point who cares??? I'm only posting because misery loves company. I might be watching if they all wear mousekateer ears.

Charlotte 69-57

 

[Spider17]

Guys are coming out with energy. Love all the offensive rebounds we’re getting

 

[Spider17]

Daughtry is so good. Quickly becoming my favorite spider. Both him and Argabright.

 

[MrTbone]

Announcer: “Richmond looking forward to having a better season after a so-so year last year.”

So-so? That’s some bar lowering right there.

 

[zeeter]

Nice to hear commentary discuss their favorite thanksgiving leftovers. Really riveting stuff.

 

[Plydogg]

8 rebounds in 8 minutes for Beagle. He is a beast right now.

 

[ur2K]

How does a DI coach not wear a team logo on the sidelines? Do we have marketing and PR people?

 

[Spider17]

Came here to say the same thing. Beagle has been a beast on the boards. Spiders dominating the glass, which is not a phrase we say often.

Feels like we should be ahead by more than 6 points. Hopefully we can keep it up the 2nd half.

Pretty quiet on here so far. I guess a lot of posters are doing their Black Friday shopping!

As a football guy I really can’t understand why we play Johnston.I don’t see it.

Waltz is not yet at level he was at end of last year. His lateral movement and jumping
seem to be lacking. I expected him to be a tougher presence and he seems to get out
challenged underneath.

 

[Plydogg]

I know we benefitted from it but I’ve never liked the technical foul on a dunk rule.
