Predictions for A10 in the tourneys....?

Quite an ending to this evening. Got a Notre Dame win (though it did hurt that we beat Beilein). Then, UNI gets Texas with a half court heave. Then, St. Joe's goes and gets the A-10 a win. Bembry really is a great player.

Almost a perfect day!! Go Sooners!!!

Funny to see how much dislike there is for VDU on the UVA board and happy to see Shaka go home early.
 
If Oklahoma had any intelligence on this team they would be up by 20.
 
They're just playing with 'em. One of the VCU players has 3 fouls already. The Refs are calling the game correctly, it seems.
 
Wouldn't be surprised is VDU makes a good run in second half. OU has much better talent, but absolutely no discipline.
 
By the way, if Tournament money influences your cheering interest.
If the Tournament makes $225 million, then an A-10 team receives $209,888/Year for 6 years for a win, all other A-10 teams receive $5,382/Year for 6 years...
 
Oklahoma is winning despite being down a key player. Vdu and the A10 suck. OSC

We may all be better off if you stop watching A10 basketball and posting about it. We get it, you think our league sucks - even though we finished in 9th place in that shi+£y league
 
Hell, if our guys played half as hard as the guys from down the street do and have been today, we wouldn't have finished in 9th place in such an awful league.

It frustrates me that these guys play hard and get great admiration, and we are the exact opposite.
 
Just had to set the record straight for Ulla. That key player averaged 8 mins per game and 2.5 points per game. Sorry for the loss of his family member though certainly.

Hield was awesome today, but we still outplayed them in the second half. Just dug too much of a hole early. Proud of our effort and our season!! Coach Wade has the ship headed in the right direction.

Talk to you guys in November......

Go Hawks tonight!!

MrVCU you guys played with a lot of heart and love your never give up attitude. You deserved to be in the tournament and you have been already going in the right direction. I have a great deal of respect for your
program, but still hate with all my soul your stinking guts. Go Spiders!
 
Mr. vdu, the Ulla has little respect for your program which recruits non qualifiers. Vdu is an outlaw program; so happy to have our coach and players. At the end of the day, vdu is a commuter school in the slums of Richmond. OSC
 
Oregon's defense was just said to be similar to ours during the Saint Joe's vs Oregon NCAA game. Interesting.

Even as a non VCU fan, that is a low blow.

Good effort by Joe's but couldn't hang on. First look at Oregon and didn't see a #1 seed tonight. Hawk defense forced Ducks into some tough shots with many being 3 PTers.

It was a fun game to watch. Buddy Hield was amazing in the second half.
 
In other words, it sucks?

They also play a switching man-to-man. They switch on every screen, just like us. They are ranked 224th in the country in defensive rebounding percentage too, haha, they are very similar to us.

Their defense was good enough to earn a 1 seed. The switching man-to-man scheme can be successful in the game today, even at the highest levels. It has not been 'figured out' and it can be played effectively within the new rules. Kenpom has them as 43rd best defense in the country, which is right about where we were in 2015. Let's hope our team next year can play defense properly. If we can get our defense back into shape and maintain some of the offense we had this past season we will be a good team.

Well, Tournament is over for all but the big football guys...
6 ACC
3 B10 (can't get used to Maryland here)
3 B12
1 Pac12
1 SEC (can't get use to Aggies here either)

Last two? Last remnant of the Old Big East, Villanova. And consistent outsider, Gonzaga.

Only underdogs left are Gonzaga & Syracuse...
 
It looks like we need to get FBS football and join the ACC, that should happen any time now...
 
Let's petition the ACC to join for men's lacrosse - we play 3 of the 5 ACC lacrosse schools this season - and their league would work better with an even number..................

Don't see any of the mighty A-10 teams there. 2 wins out of 5. 40%. Better than I thought it would be. Only one embarrassing loss. Other two could have gone either way.
 
I certainly won't listen to the G. Burton VDU funeral/slobberfest on 950 today. Sure will be a nice quiet day today!! :)
 
I wish our guys played as hard as VCU. Other than hating them as a rival, I really respect their grit and toughness. We need a lot more of that.

That's why they get the casual fan to go to their games, and their billboard on 95 can brag about their consecutive sellout streak.
