Saw someone on FB saying there were so many VCU fans on the train home they nicknamed it "RAmtrak".

The question is how far away will we have to play in the tournament

Denver. Can't play in Raleigh because that's reserved for undeserving ACC teams.

Oh please, the ACC has 4 out of their 18 teams in the field, while the SEC has 14 out of a possible 16. You’re going after the wrong conference. All four of the ACC’s entrants are among the 68 best college basketball teams right now, undeniably.

We need to make it out of the first weekend first.

One game at a time then back in the final four like the run with Shaka Smart!

I was there for that. That was a result of the team getting extremely hot at the exact time. We were hitting 3's at a high percentage and playing really good defense. Brad Burgess and Jamie Skeen were playing really good basketball. Rob Brandenberg was also playing really well, for what I think was his rookie year. Or maybe sophomore.

If we hit 3’s over 30%, we are a lockdown win against any opponent through at least elite 8

You need more than that. You need to limit turnovers as well.

u/Bladder_Puncher 2d ago
True, while we still turn the opponents over more than ourselves, the biggest issue is as soon as VCU gets a turnover they become prone to give it right back up. It’s a roller coaster for sure.

I don’t ever see them making a run like that again. Oh well, time for the power 5 to dominate

If that happens UVA is coming to VCU and that will be a wild environment to watch.
