It's time to devote a separate thread for VCU. ESPN favors BYU by 3. This will be a tough game for VCU. It would be best for the conference if VCU won. VCU is very good this year, BYU matches up well.
VCU vs. BYU
- Thread starter Gallipoli
- Start date
Go Cougars. I don't have the visceral hatred I did for VCU years ago, as they just run a really good program now. But I'll be damned if I'm going to root for them to make a run in the NCAA's.
Today, we are all Mormons.
Except VCU, they are morons.
BYU lost opening round to Duquesne last year in the 6 vs 11. I like them today. Game in Colorado as well
This game will be a fight. VCU is very physical. BYU will look to shut down Shulga and force the rest of the VCU team to beat them. VCU is pretty deep. Does anyone know anything about BYU?
They can light it up on the scoreboard from 3. They beat Iowa State twice, Kansas, and Arizona all in the past month. It should be a really good game, it certainly isn't a friendly draw for VCU in my estimation.
A team that can score a lot is not a great matchup for vcu because it means Bamisile will feel the need to just start jacking threes from all over the court. They do rebound well on the offensive end, but they definitely aren't going to win an 88-80 kind of game.
Not me, I feel so beaten down by less than mediocrity I will plead Stockholm syndrome and pull for our cross town Daddy!
They could EASILY win a 66-60 game, though, and I absolutely expect them to do that. Failure to do so would essentially be an incomprehensible reality.
Another first round exit for the lambs
We can’t laugh at vcu too much bc they dominate us. I also felt BYU was bad matchup for them. Didn’t want to jinx it. Nice work Mormons.
& we do have the most recent ncaa win. By a lot.
& we do have the most recent ncaa win. By a lot.
LOL despite all their success, we still have an NCAA win more recently then they do.
Not sure if they would have won anyway, but I do think that when it is known that your coach is on his way out of town it impacts the team. You can say whatever you want, but I think it impacts the spirit of the team. And yes I know, half the players are negotiating with other schools too.
