VS Dayton March 3

You’d think down 3 with 10 seconds left, you’d want to try and get a look from 3 to tie. But coach knows Dayton would be expecting that. They’ll never expect the “dribble for 4 seconds and take a contested 2” play. 4D chess.

Even if Daughtry made the 2, does anyone really think we could’ve gotten the ball back and somehow scored again to win in under 5 seconds?

Thinking same thing, what the?? Let's try to drive in for a contested 2 and hope they fouls us and convert????? And if we get the two hope they miss free throws and we get a heave at the buzzer. Genius.
 
Did anyone actually think we were going to pull through and win there? Bob Black said going into this game we had lost 6 games by 3 or less. Think about that for a second. In games that are tight at the end and basically a coin flip to decide who wins, we are 0-7 now in games that end by a margin of 3 points or less. Let’s not spin that as “bad luck” or we were “competitive to the end”. What it means is that we have a coach who cannot lead his team to close the deal in crunch time.

That will be part of the end of year synopsis
 
Couldn’t go tonight, but I really wanted to let Mooney have it (with pie or chants). Saw the score in the final few and knew we were cooked

What on earth are the conversations going to be like between Hardt and Mooney at the end of the year? Officially in the pillow fight 3 of the last 4 years. We are 0-6 in games decided by 3 points or less. We lost to VCU twice again to have a 9-29 record. Only reason why we don’t have 10 wins this year is because of the easiest OOC schedule ever and yet we still lost to awful team like Elon, Furman, and Charleston Southern. There is zero energy in the Robins Center. Attendance was awful tonight for a premier A10 matchup. Report says 4600 in attendance. That’s absolute BS and it’s pathetic we have to inflate these numbers to make ourselves look better.

On the other hand Mooney’s counter part, Roussell, is putting on a clinic on how to lead by example, set standards, bring the energy for his team, and continue to win putting us in a position to make the NCAA tournament for the 3rd year in a row.

It’s just remarkable to me that the conclusion they’re going to derive from this is that we need more NIL or needing to scout more players in Europe or whatever dumb questions JOC is asking this time. It’s absurd. To all the fans thinking of renewing your season tickets, don’t. It’s the only way to show our administration that we’ve had enough of this crap.
