Go Davidson

Davidson win over VCU tonight means bye & #4 seed if we win Saturday. Then, though, 3rd rematch w Rams in quarters...
 
Would be our best-case scenario. A bit hesitant to face them again, even though we swept them...this time is a lot more important than Capital City bragging rights. Luckily we are playing our best ball now and their stock is plummeting...sell, sell, sell!

Go Cats!
 
I know human nature is to want to 'cash out' on our current winnings with the Sweep of the Sheep, but we shouldn't be concerned about a 3rd tilt with them.

They are leaking oil all over the highway. Without Weber, they can't turn people over and besides Graham, they cannot score. Unless Melvin Johnson wakes up and gets hot, RPI will lose badly tonight, be in a dogfight against Mason and will be in another dogfight on Thursday. They are also a 1 and done in the NCAA tourney.
 
I figure with our current #54 RPI we need to get to A10 Title Game. Getting to championship would put us in low 40s - not a lock, but the committee loves teams on a streak. And CBS would love Kendall!
 
Should the chips fall so that vcu is the 5 seed in the tournament, they might have to play St Joes, a team with a great player and solid guard play. Don't bet the ranch on vcu winning that one.
 
Whatever mythical worries we have about the whole "It's-hard-to-beat-a-team-three-times-in-a-year" thing, multiply those by about 10 from VCU's standpoint, because I'm sure we are in their head by now. They realize that if we had made a few FTs the second game wouldn't have been close. The first game wasn't really close for the last 10-15 minutes either.

I imagine they don't want to see us anymore.
 
On beating VCU for the 3rd time, we go from being the prey to being the predator. We would be favored in the rematch but you know VCU would relish the chance to beat us up there. But do they want to see us again after we pretty much controlled them the first two games, I highly doubt it. There are other teams they match up better against.
 
I'd be ok with Davidson tonight. Us, St. Joe's, and UMass on Saturday.

That might leave

1 Davidson 14-4
2 Dayton 14-4
3 UR 12-6
4 VCU/URI 12-6
5 URI/VCU 12-6
6 UMass 11-7
 
97, they "relished" seeing us at the Costco and then they "relished" seeing us at the RC. RPI had better stick to mustard or ketchup on their City Dog status! :).
 
can we get this one on TV/computer tonight? If so where?
 
God, this game is starting late... VCU fans will be too stoned to even watch. Good for Davidson.
 
Davidson up 10 with 13 to go in first half. They are dismantling havoc. On a side note, crazy that Davidson must use that court for volleyball too.

If they go one and done in the A-10 tournament (if possible) after losing to Davidson and Mason, could they play themselves out of the dance?
 
If VCU loses tonight, beats Mason, then loses to us in the 4-5 A10 game they will borderline 25. We might lose our top 25 wins!
 
I see VCU is only throwing up token pressure now on made baskets, although they almost got a steal there. Never pick up your dribble in the corner against these guys.
 
Davidson is a poor ball handling team. Good thing they can shoot and out smart Shaka's team.
 
VCU is no lock for the tourney, especially if they get blown out like this tonight. The committee is not a bunch of idiots. It can see what this team has done over the last month plus, and if this continues, obviously it's not a tournament-worthy team.
 
Davidson up 40-21 at half. So many good cuts ball pressure doesn't even matter. Really looks like we are the 4 seed. Glad to get someone playing on 0 days rest
 
Reminds me of our 1st half against them in 2011, we were 40-17 at the half.
 
Is vcu's top recruit, Terry Larrier, having second thoughts about his choice of vcu over Murray State?
 
But they have 38 top 100 recruits. How is this happening?
 
My postdoc, Duke Denver, said he thought vcu's players did not play smart.
 
They're going to start calling more fouls. This game could last until midnight.
 
Quote unquote from VCU board. I couldn't help myself from looking after that clinic Davidson put on in the first half.

"We are now the laughing stock of Richmond."

Graham doesn't look himself his ankle must be killing him. VCU can't compete down Weber and Graham. Would love to get them in the tourney at this point.

Tell him to listen to Broad St. Greg tomorrow and he'll be fine. A little propaganda might help him out.
 
This is great television. Bottom line, RPI is just not very good and they are quickly playing their way onto the bubble. Go Cats.
 
You never would know that VCU was down 22 by these announcers. They still think that they can come back!
