VCU Hacks Again

[Stonewall D]

Stole a peak at the VCU game. The refs are really letting VCU get away with hacking. The score was 35-37, VCU, the Fordham player had a break away dunk and VCU just crushed the guy. No foul. Terrible.

 

[Stonewall D]

Fordham's Severe is the real deal. Go Fordham. Score now 40-40.

Red rams giving the black sheep all they can handle

 

[keefusb]

Go Fordham!!!

 

[Stonewall D]

One of the Fordham guys has a HUGE gash on his head.

 

[Stonewall D]

I am not getting anything done.

 

[Stonewall D]

Red Rams up by 3.

Haha, that's tends to happen around tourney time.

Fordham is going to run them out of the gym.

 

[Ferrum Spider]

While I'm enjoying this, if they lose two (3 since we'd beat them tomorrow) of our marquee wins all of a sudden dont look so good. Plus our RPI would take a major hit, guess we'd just have to win the whole thing.

 

[Stonewall D]

The term Red Rams reminds me of Redrum. Was that in the Shining? Someone painted that on a door in the bathroom in Marsh hall. Every time I walked out of the stall, I saw the word Murder in red.

 

[Stonewall D]

Redrams up by 5.

 

[SpiderRick]

Red drum is good eating fish. Fordham now up by 2 with under 8 minutes

 

[SpiderPhoto]

should have been a no call on that foul

 

[ur2K]

No matter how this turns out, I like the fact that its turning into a battle. Better for tired legs tomorrow to have to play us.

 

[Stonewall D]

They keep showing the replay, when Mo Allie Cox hit Severe in the eye. Terrible no call.

 

[Eight Legger]

Yeah, even if VCU wins, they are going to have to grit it out, and they'll play us with the knowledge that instead of coming out and dominating Fordham, they barely beat them.

 

[Stonewall D]

Sengfelder and Severe are both out now for Fordham, but the Redrams are up by 2.

 

[SpiderFan26]

We should beat both these teams by 8+ tomorrow. It doesnt really matter who we play now. Both are not good

 

[keefusb]

Blow to Severe's eye strikes me as calculated and cynical. All-academic team Mo Allie-Cox is very smart and knew what he was doing.

Severe out of the game is not good for the red rams.

 

[urfan1]

VCU is better for our rpi, even if we don't make the big dance it's got to help us make the NIT to have a higher rpi.

Cox was slapping at the face of Severe.

 

[SpiderFan]

+1 ur2k--now if we could only get overtime...

 

[UFA 2006]

Best outcome for this game is OT. Double OT even better.
Let them all wear themselves out.

 

[Stonewall D]

Fecies U won.

 

[keefusb]

Looks like the Lambs pulled it out. Eye poke on Severe looks like the play that won the game.

I'm sure RPI fans are acting like they won the Super Bowl.

The other side of the coin (as VCU is going to win) is that they'll be warmed up for play in this arena and gotten the proverbial cobwebs out against Fordham. That's one of the reasons that Fordham was able to give VCU a good game I think. I think the team that has a game under their belt always has the advantage. Now, once that teams gets into their 3rd, 4th game in row that doesn't matter, they'll just be tired.

 

[SpiderK]

No way in hell Refs and A-10 let RPI lose that game and have no UR rematch and an empty building for 3 days.

The reason Fordham gave VCU a good game is that VCU isn't good. They are horrible on offense without Weber forcing turnovers and easy transition buckets. They aren't good on defense without Weber forcing turnovers. Their only players who can score are Graham and Melvin.

 

[Stonewall D]

The Eye poke won the game for VCU. It cost Fordham their best player for much of the second half.

 

[Stonewall D]

VCU shot 30% from the field. It was not their best game.

 

[SpiderK]

Fordham is 10-21

Agreed. I don't want to be overly optimistic, but VCU is wounded duck. We need to come out hot and ready and I think they will fold like a house of cards. Could see a game similar to our tournament game with them last year. I hope we remember the waxing they put on us up there.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

On the other hand, didn't like seeing Melvin Johnson get hot. He has given us problems in the past.

 

[Eight Legger]

Take Diekvoss' redshirt off long enough for him to go poke Johnson in the eye, not be called for a foul, and then bingo. We win.
