VCU does it again… good for them.

Congrats to VCU. For those that watched and weren't aware UNC's Jarin Stevenson is UR Hall of Famer Jarod Stevenson's son. Tough loss for the family.

Atail of two programs. One that tries and one that has a country club freaking Triumvirate running things comfortably.

Did Hubert just pull a Mooney?

I'm not being shy - with the state of our situation how can be a resident of the RVA not root for the winning in-town team .. crazy comeback

 

[MDSpider8]

VCU loses their coach every other year, rebuilds, and is successful. Nobody complains, laments the current environment, they just do what it takes to win.

Meanwhile, all we do is complain and whine. Infuriating.

 

[PittFieldDreams]

They said it is the largest comeback in the first round of NCAA tourney history. Now that is on their resume as well.

 

[PhillySpider]

Good for VCU! Honestly happy to see them rewarded for their "go for it" culture. They are committed to being in a position to do this and make decision after decision that supports this.

Same city, same league etc. as us but we couldn't be more different. From top to bottom. Note the comments at the end from Martelli - - "we preach making winning plays". At UR, we preach running the weave and let's make it pretty and especially don't take any chances that might lead to a turnover. Making plays is totally overrated.

Down 19 Mooney would be crafting his quotes about how we competed and how tough it is etc. etc.

 

[SpiderPrime]

We should just cancel our program after that.

There are those of us that try to express our displeasure with the current UR Basketball program and direction but it falls on death ears. Many of us have been beaten down to where we just don’t care. What a shame that one donor controls our destiny

 

[Gallipoli]

I hate VCU.

 

[Gallipoli]

We could have had Martelli. Maybe Senior Martelli is available.

Give big time credit to their AD.He knows how to find solid,winning coaches time after time after time…

 

[Spider B]

How embarrassed should UR administration be? Same city, same conference, and we have WAY more money than VCU. Im glad VCU won. Embarrass the hell out of the losers in charge at UR.

 

[Spider17]

VCU has complete alignment across the board. Institutional commitment from president and BoT, a great AD, and great coaches. They explicitly set high goals for themselves, put their money with their mouth is, and don’t make excuses. When the women’s basketball coach lost to UR 7 times in a row, she was fired mid season. By the way, she was the program’s all time winning coach too. They set expectations, have complete alignment on achieving those goals, and hold people accountable when goals are not met. That is how a program should be run. Good for them.

Well he didn't do much at Michigan when he was the shadow coach to Juwan Howard. I think he's past his expiration date. If there was a coach with UR ties out there that would be a figure head like Penny Hardaway I'd take him over Mooney every day of the week, knowing full well that it's not an ideal scenario.

SLU putting it on Georgia so far. Up 19 in the first half. They had been not so good down the stretch but look to have gotten that out of their system.

 

[Gallipoli]

St. Louis is up by 15 at 47-32 with 1 minute left.

 

[Spiderp31]

VCU was down 19 and actually won the game. Mooney would have been praised for his ability to make the margin close. But VCU finds way to win while we continue to lose.

 

[Gallipoli]

St. Louis is that good.

 

[Wood Hall]

A-10 has a very good chance to earn four units at the very least. Been a long time since that happened. Since we refuse to take MBB seriously anymore, thank you for sharing the wealth.
