Hoping somehow we can all start using this more. Problem is there just hasn’t been enough chatter over here. Still so many folks and official accounts over there that don’t mess with this app yet

There are just two A-10 teams currently top-2 in both offensive and defensive efficiency in A-10 play: VCU and…. St. Joe’s. 5 of Hawks 6 conference losses were on the road (SLU, DUQ in OT, Dayton, Loyola & Mason), the other L being home to VCU. They are a DANGEROUS team to have to play in DC.

VCU v UMass today in a sold out game that may not see sold out attendance via the snow, but we will see.
UMass strengths: offensive rebounding, 3-point defense
UMass weaknesses: shooting, fouling.
Kenpom has VCU by 17

Anyone have any updates on the Henrico Green City plan? But in particular, the arena?

That road contest against SLU is gonna be TOUGH. Win it though and the Rams would be 7-1 in A-10 play with home games against La Salle and Richmond on deck.

The wildest Ram Nation TBT jersey I ever came up with. Puma ended up putting this yellow texture stuff all over them, but still thought they were a fun concept.

VCU margin of defeat in their 4 losses:
v Seton Hall: 3 (OT)
v Nevada: 3
at New Mexico: 7
at Bona 2
It feels like VCU can be inconsistent sometimes from quarter to quarter, but from game to game, so far they appear to be a very consistent team.
HUGE game Fri. v Bona (also my bday, so a must-win)

Sometimes you just have to stop and see the programs that are ranked around VCU. A lot of history and large budgets pulling similar results to the Rams.

I despise winter. These temps are brutal. I have no clue how people can live in colder regions than we have in VA.

Bumping this. Add a big win at Rhode Island. You collect enough road wins against top teams, you earn hardware…
You win a league by beating contenders on the road. VCU doing that at St. Joe’s and Loyola is extremely helpful there.

Jack Clark average offensive rating comparison at VCU…
When shooting more 2s than 3s: 132.2
When shooting more 3s than 2s: 84
Ya feel me? Good news is the last 2 games he’s shot twice as many twos (8) as threes. His true shooting % is 63.8% in those games versus 48.5% season
