1/9 | VCU | 2:00PM (CBSSN)

[steveystuds06]

We are due for everything to click and pick up a surprise win. Let's do this!!!!

[KingstonLane]

Betrand gets the start over Malik today. feel like they’ve really been easing him along. Wonder if today’s the day he’s finally given a full workload

[PeterRamTime]

Will you share your stash of magic weed?

We could win out and the at large bid we would receive would be to the NIT.

At large talk is done. The only way in is to win in Brooklyn.

Now the focus should be getting better, improving and playing as a team so a magical 3-4 days can happen in March.

I know it won’t happen, but win out and we are likely in the tourney. That would be 19-6 with wins over Seton Hall, St. Louis., St. Bona, VCU (who has a high NET), San Francisco. At large is not officially dead. We CAN win our way back onto the bubble. We probably won’t, but is is possible. First step is VCU game, then take care of business against the bottom of the conference.

The A10 has a handful of high net teams now. We have a cavalcade of shit teams with low nets who will steal a few random games. The low net rating is like pink eye and with all the shit flying around this league everyone will get it and be a lower net by the end.

The OOC is where you need to make your bones.

BC will end up a bad loss. WKU probably the same. San Fran will not be a q1. Seton Hall is the one shot and as we’ve seen plenty of times in this league it will n be enough.

For a board who has been around for a bit, it amazes me how we can all forget what happens to schools from this conference on selection sunday.

No we could still get an at-large. Its not going to happen because there's no way this team can do it.

Winning all the rest of our games would put us at least very close to in. Our NET would probably be in the 20's and you can get in on that alone. The committee would also respect the non conference schedule we played, our NET, our winning streak, wins over NCAA teams like Seton Hall and SLU. That with a run to the championship and losing would 100% get us in.

[PeteRI]

Fatts must be growing. Now he's listed as
5-11.

[Blue Man]

Sheppard is a one trick pony. He’s a shooter. Like four was.

Why Ish isn’t playing over him makes no sense at this point.

[PeterRamTime]

Fatts makes a three butbit doesn't count

[PeteRI]

WTF Shepherd?

[steveystuds06]

We have two great possessions, then throw up two stupid 3s. Let's at least try to feed the post before we throw up contested 3s.

[Rhody15]

We are due for everything to click and pick up a surprise win. Let's do this!!!!

To me this wouldn’t even be a surprise win.

We’ve won 8/9 against them, always seem to have their number home and away, and we always seem to pick up a “we shouldn’t win that game” W once a season.

Wouldn’t shock me in the least bit if we win today, we’re all feeling good, and then we lose 3 of 4.

[eli#10]

Walker does a decent amount of good things but he also does too many stupid things. Gives up a lay up off an out of bounds play and then a bad fould when we are in bounding the ball right in front of a ref. A blatant pus off.

[KingstonLane]

Been able to get the ball inside early which is a good sign. Fingers crossed it opens up some (better) 3s as the game goes on

[PeteRI]

We're off to a sizzling point a minute pace.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Harris D!

[PeteRI]

We're getting more shots blocked than Cam Newton passes.

[Rhodyram]

Is that 5 consecutive blocked shots?

[PeterRamTime]

We are finally getting it inside to a big guy

[KingstonLane]

No one has scored in 3 minutes. College basketball at its best

[steveystuds06]

I thought Mitchell had a great pass and a great finish. Did he foul early? Why was he taken out?

[Rhody15]

Very brutal stretch their for Leggett.

[PeteRI]

We are P A T H E T I C

[NJRhodyFan]

Carey is awful. Cannot for the life of me understand why he gets so many minutes.

[KingstonLane]

Carey is awful. Cannot for the life of me understand why he gets so many minutes.

Because no one else has done anything to earn his minutes. Feels like there’s so much playing time up for grabs if 1 or 2 guys could step up

[Jersey77]

STINKO game, hard to watch

[Rhody15]

Carey is awful. Cannot for the life of me understand why he gets so many minutes.

You want Ish to stay in after he had two shots blocked and two dumb fouls?

Leggett seems to be the new Golden boy here, he’s not allowed to be critiqued.

Carey had two shots blocked as well. I’d still rather give Leggett more minutes. He just brings more overall value in my opinion.

[Shinze88]

Pretty much the same thing we’ve been seeing from this team, lackadaisical on offense, lazy passes, shaky defense, no ball movement. Only positive is that VCU has not been able to capitalize on our inept play and we have nobody in foul trouble

[NYGFan_Section208]

sad silly half court to

[eli#10]

We need an A- game from most everyone today to have a chance. So far Walker a D, Martin a C and Ish a D.

[PeteRI]

This is the worst offense I've seen since the Baron years.

[Rhody15]

We might be the best team in the country at looking terrible yet keeping the game close.

[PeterRamTime]

Unreal DJ....

[eli#10]

Where is the bball IQ of DJ?

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Where is the bball IQ of DJ?

About the same as most of his teammates

I expect freshman mistakes like his offensive foul but diving for the ball after almost causing a turnover is what I love about him. I don't find that foul to be dumb.

[KingstonLane]

We’re down 1 to the 2nd or 3rd best team in the A10. By some of these comments you’d think were losing to Fordham by double digits

[DC_Rams]

You guys talk so much about IQ, now do you realize why there is no complicated offense? It’s a very simple high low with minor variations.

[PeteRI]

Turnover immediately followed by a foul. Nice.

[PeterRamTime]

Wolf, the commentator just said how it was a fun year in the A-10 when VCU went to the final four...he of all people should realize they weren't in the damn A-10 then.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

You guys talk so much about IQ, now do you realize why there is no complicated offense? It’s a very simple high low with minor variations.

And yet we commit unforced turnovers in bunches and take tons of bad shots ...

[Urifan91]

Refs are letting them play today

[DC_Rams]

The fouls called around the basket are NOT consistent!!!

Shots aren’t bad: the turnovers are mental:

I was wondering how much that guy is getting paid for this game he has made so many mistakes.

[Rhody15]

Fatts 3, two straight steals, two FTs to tie it up.

Big time.

[NJRhodyFan]

Refs are letting them play today

100% agree.

[Blue Man]

We are allergic to playing smart basketball for more than 2 possessions at a time.

[PeterRamTime]

DJ with his second insane turnover.

EVERY SINGLE TIME

We put together any momentum we shit ourselves.

Literally every single time.

[PeterRamTime]

We are allergic to playing smart basketball for more than 2 possessions at a time.

I cant wrap my head around it. And you are not exaggerating. No more than 2.

[PeteRI]

Horrible free throw from Ish.

[eli#10]

WTF Ish?
