VCU does it again… good for them.

[SFspidur]

ESPN's BPI projections rate VCU as the most likely 11+ seed to pull an upset, giving them a 39% chance of beating UNC.

I don't doubt that ACC teams are not in a rush to play vcu, because they might lose. But none of them are afraid to lose to us, so I'm sure there were games to be had.

El, they should be lining up to play us. We are now an A10 level cupcake and an easy win for any P5 school, so come one come all...

Oh I forgot, scheduling is HARD.

Pretty tough to admit when you are looking up at Fordham. That’s where we are with our program, funds, and facilities. Compare those with what Fordham has.

We would be a perfect season opener for Duke.

 

[Eight Legger]

If I'm Hardt, first I check to make sure that I still have a pulse. If I do, I require Mooney to sign us up for as many buy games on the road as we can get. I'm talking literally anyone anywhere, the kind of schedule Coppin State used to play.

This does a few things: gets us ready for league play, likely pins a bunch of losses on Mooney, and generates a healthy sum of money that can be put towards whatever his buyout is next year.

All of the vcu ads I’m seeing around make me vomit uncontrollably

 

[Fatherspider]

Agree on everything you said until the last sentence. I respect but still hate them. 170 teams have won an NCAA game since they have including us. F those chokers

I respect that but disagree. The more success VCU has the more it should, not sure it will, it should embarrass Moonman and the pathetic AD of UR.

It should embarrass them, but that would assume they care what we think or have any shame - nothing about the way we are running the program shows that they do.

 

[MrTbone]

I guess we can give up any expectation that our AD is going to try to explain why he’s bringing back a coach who’s 63-67 the past four years.

Yep. Hardt's MO is to say nothing. Can you imagine the stink eye PQ would give him if he said something?

We have a very tight circle of trust that thrives on comfort and thinking that are a Patriot League member in hoops. Maybe Hardt will come out with a statement that Walz has the highest GPA and will be joining the golf team. Those would be interesting stories if coming off consecutive NCAA appearances.

It's difficult to replace 2 coaches in one offseason.

Anyone think Roussell is getting snatched?

 

[SpiderRick]

Pretty obvious we have a better chance getting a bid from the Patriot League than in the A10.

All of the vcu ads I’m seeing around make me vomit uncontrollably

The ads don't bother me, it's the booing of Webstur by VCU fans at the Diamond for University of Richmond alumni night with the Squirrels. We let that happen because we emulate our coach: soft.

 

[Section9_RowD]

So .. I'm at the point of just admitting I am rooting for RPI/MCV tonight - like their coach - like #0 from St. Chris and better for the A10 if they win 2 and get to the Sweet 16 given much better chance they have imo than SLU ...

 

[Spider2020]

No matter what the condition of our program, I will never root for VCU in anything, ever. Go heels.

Lazar is so weeaaak. And he shouldn't be shooting 3s.

total jinx - well done Section 9

Don't look now but VCU making a huge run

Must be the urban campus

OT. Boy, UNC had a scrambled two on two on one whole side of the court and Hubert called a time out. And didn't get a shot. Bad job by Hubert all around tonight. VCUs game to win now.
