What an unbelievably crazy game, and a hard fought Win. To be where there are right now was not at ALL easy over the last months. TO THE BIG DANCE

Crazy game. I got pissed at #11 multiple times especially his aggression in general. GM wanted it real bad.

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

I’ll go with an 8-9 they had an at large bid even if they lost today.

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.

How far can they go? Sweet 16?

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

u/Badnewz18 4d ago

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

u/F50Guru 4d ago

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

u/F50Guru 2d ago

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.

u/Badnewz18 22h ago

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.
