Game 22: AT Virginia Commonwealth University, Saturday, February 2nd, 6:30 PM, NBCSN

Otis and Kier were really bad, and Greene probably had his worst game of the season. Going forward this season, we are still in a really good position to finish in the top 4. On to UR.

Lesson learned, Reuter has a high ceiling. If we play vcu in Brooklyn, I think we slow the game down and feed him the ball every possession.

Bad combination of not getting open shots, reffing, and vcu actually hitting some 3’s.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

Expected a good game. Not a complete suffocation.

We were due for a crap game on the road. We’ve only made two 3s.

Wow. Thought we'd be closer than that.

Actually, a very valid observation. He and Greg worked them.

And here come our whistles. Gotta make it look good in the box score.

This is embarrassing. Our guys look like they don't care.

Good lord. Settle down. Losing road games to good teams happens.

How does Ron Thompson get paid to broadcast games?

Didn’t think we’d win this one. Positives to take away: Reuter had his best game this year IMO, Calixte played well, Miller with a double-double.

Negatives: Our guards struggled with the pressure, lack of adjustments in the game plan, free throw woes continued from the GW game.

Played hard not smart. Late on rotations left a lot of open back cuts and too many open 3.s. Then we did nothing but brick on offense. Post play was good, that's just about it.

Great job Paulsen giving your players off when they clearly could have used it. Where was AJ?

 

[Patriotsince81]

Defensive letdown tonight on top of everything else. We'll need to give them some payback in Fairfax.

 

[Yossarian]

Yep, all I needed to know to predict this line was look at Kenpom. Oh and for those here that things your D is shut down, talk to us when you get in the top 40 in D efficiency. We are top 10 and have been. Score more than 65 on us and I'll color myself shocked.

Yup- fat cat was right.

 

[Bricker]

Credit to Rhoads and vcu for drawing up a smart plan and executing. Frustrated our guards and made us try to beat them inside. Worked perfectly. On to Richmond.

He’s farther out of the rotation than jack tempchin for some reason. He must be really bad at practice to be in the dog house this bad.

 

[GSII]

Credit all goes to vcu defense. They completely controlled the game. Give credit where credit is due.

 

[Patriot8]

Omfg where was DeAndre Abram? He would’ve made ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

Mudbutt - great troll, or greatest ever?

Could be, but I love my team and I'm not going to throw salt in wound. I'll see you guys in a few weeks.
