Partial Mt. Holloway?

Just Win Baby!

Got to be pretty happy when your then freshman big guy Tre Mitchell is the topic in the middle of a disgreement as to who's better/more talented than the POY. I'll take that everyday and twice on Sunday!
Best player we've had here in a loooong time

Mini Mt. Holloway?

Kinda agree len. Playing more games right now might be better since we've played so few. Should be fresh and hungry to play, and the team has shown to play better with more action. Love to see them catch fire and play really well for the seasons end

Can't change what happened this year, so lets make this tourney the new starting point and go on a tear. If we're healthy, I believe they can go far

Those were fun games with Chaz running the team. Where was Put going on that drive by Jett?

I went from happy to pissed in a second that day. Wow that sucked

Somewhat encouraging that it was winnable after the pause and with Tre & Noah not at 100%. Get a few good days of work in, get game shape back, and we could make a run

^ thanks DD3. I read a comment from their coach that sounded like he was somewhat surprised that we pressed, and that his experienced group handles that stuff well, which almost helped them a bit. I would hope MM knew that beforehand, so did he adjust that or just keep it on? Was it affective?

Saw or heard none of it, and reading the comments, still can't figure out if they were just better or we didn't play well. Which best summarizes the game? Sounds like they just handled us easily

Game day boys!!! About time, been waiting for this day. We might win we might lose idk and I really don’t care. Just want to see the our team play. I’m not gonna tip my cap and bow down to Richmond bc I believe this is a winnable game. This year has proved we not a basement dweller in the A10 anymo...

Plus the expense of monitoring "who's in, who's out" and individualizing each student would be impracticle I would think

I feel like this team knows it can be very good, and after last year ended abruptly when they were playing well, I think they are ready to prove they belong near the top. Even with the pause, I can see them coming out strong and playing well. I feel like its a game we can win Seems like months since...

Wonder if Gasperini would come back. This team is poised to make a leap and he might want to be part of it if we make the tourney.

^ good enough to start on the #6 team in the country tho. I think Sampson is the type coach they needed to play for. He gets on his guys pretty good. Be interesting to see what they do after this season, come back or move on?
