Former VCU radio analyst and college basketball writer. Few love this game as much as I love this game. Lighten up, Francis.
Look at AG. Going 1-3-1 on the last possession. Marquette doesn’t get a shot before the buzzer.
Fun game, especially if you love ex-VCU coaches.

A lot to love in a 2-2 start.
VCU needs a great MTE performance.
Go figure.

Don’t hand me stats.
VCU shot 26% in 1H and was down four.
Shot 58% in the first 10 minutes of 2H. And was down four.
Rams had about five shots in the air in the last four minutes that would put “holy shit” in the minds of NCSU. None went in.
It is a frustratingly beautiful game we love.

State 39, VCU 35 (H).
Unsure what to make of Rams 6-24 from three and 5-12 from two.
Nine offensive rebounds.
Pretty sure Will Wade is going to talk about Terrence Hill for the entire halftime break.

Today, I drove past Trask. Saw NU close Matthews. Got a text about Tom Pecora from a good friend. Posted about ODU. Read an article about a former VCU coach now in the ACC facing his former team.

The decimation of a great basketball program is well-worth a big football win over Troy.
FINAL: George Washington 96, Old Dominion 73.
Rafael Castro had 20 points and Jean Aranguren and Garrett Johnson both added 17 as the Revolutionaries blew things open in the second half.
GW is 4-0 for the third year in a row.
KC Shaw and Robert Davis Jr. had 14 each for the Monarchs (2-2).

Saw some absolute Dudes play on that floor. Barea, Janning, etc.
New home had better include Bill Coen Court (at least).

It’s the final basketball game at Matthews Arena and the first game of my first doubleheader of the season.
Game #9 is Northeastern vs Vermont. Tip is at 1

This is a fantastic, old school meets new world story. Extremely well done.

In May, New Haven raised $9 million in 18 days and beat the buzzer to join D-I. Its home gym seats 867 people.
On Saturday, it hosted a Big Ten team.
Here's the story of why and how it happened.
"There's some coaches said to me, including coaches in the Big Ten, 'Are you crazy?' But yeah, I am."

How a team in its first year in Division I got a Big Ten program to play a game at its 867-seat arena
New Haven's gym has an official capacity of only 867, and on Saturday, it pulled off a coup: playing host to a Big Ten program

The best VCU teams had a guy willing to rearrange the locker room.
JPR, Doug Brooks would climb a mountain to punch an echo. Eric Maynor demanded excellence. Treveon Graham had more ghost pepper than portrayed.
Need that guy.

Proud of the fight. You can see there’s something there.
Only two games, but feels like this VCU team needs a little rattlesnake.
Can’t say “holy shit we’re down 12 at the under 8” to start playing like they closed. Need 40 minutes of that.

When you make 50% of your shots and hit six threes, and still trail by nine at the half, there’s not much analysis necessary.

Got to see many sides of Will and I’ll unabashedly say I hope he wins every game not played on November 17.

Much better 2H for VCU. Obviously no video but I know how Robby/Rodney call games.
Some sludgy to the offense, and no matter what else occurs you have to make shots or the other stuff doesn’t matter.
Takeaway: we’re effing playing !!!!

A rather untidy first half to lift the lid on the season. Nova 37-24.
I know it's an exhibition and coaches experiment, but 12 turnovers, many self-inflicted, 2-11 from three and 4-7 from the line are experiment-independent.
I heard all summer Jadrian Tracey had The Man vibes. His 10pts lead VCU.
