Davidson officially joins new look Atlantic 10

A10

Just when you thought you had a grasp on who was playing in VCU’s new conference, realignment went and added some new teams on us all. Prior to VCU’s inclusion into the Atlantic 10 conference, the league was set to lose Temple to the “Big East” (their half now called the “American Athletic Conference”) and Charlotte to CUSA. Added to those loses are a Butler program we barely got to know (off to the other half of the Big East, [...]

VCU seniors throw out first pitch

Several VCU men's basketball players were on hand yesterday to watch VCU baseball take on UVA.

Ram fans braved the rain to watch VCU baseball take on the Cavaliers of UVA last night. The Hoos head back to Charlottesville with the win but fans of VCU basketball were perhaps the biggest winners on the evening, getting a chance to meet a number of VCU ballers on hand including VCU legend, Eric Maynor. We were there as VCU seniors Troy Daniels, David Hinton and Darius Theus threw out the first pitches of the evening. Check out the [...]

The 80 greatest VCU players ever (or something like it)

VCU80

It’s the offseason, and with six full months until the 2013-14 basketball season begins, things get a little slow around here. Coach Smart has turned down interest from other programs (thank God), choosing to focus on recruiting and the occasional culinary competition, VCU’s Atlantic 10 conference affiliation seems stable, and Ram fans are beginning to settle into life without hoops. That said, our message board typically stays hot in the months between seasons, and yes, even gets a little wacky [...]

Ram fans knew something was up when VCU had signed more players than they had available scholarships, and yesterday, CBS’ Jon Rothstein officially broke the news that it would be Teddy Okereafor leaving for Rider to make next season’s numbers work.   Okereafor joins graduating senior, Darius Theus, as the Rams second departing point guard this off season. VCU returns Briante Weber at the position and adds freshmen JeQuan Lewis and Jairus Lyles then follow the 2013 class with 2014 [...]

Coach Smart and company celebrated another highly successful season last night at the Jefferson Hotel during the Rams end of season banquet. Rams fans dined alongside VCU staffers, men’s basketball team members and their families, and listened as Coach Smart and his assistants reflected on the past season while looking forward to the future. They also handed out some awards. Most Improved – Treveon Graham In roughly 10 more minutes per game than his previous season, Graham upped his scoring [...]

2013-14 VCU Rams preview

8562522765_f019d05a82_b

I want to apologize to all of Ram Nation for being so late to post this. The 2012-13 college basketball season officially ended this past Monday when the Louisville Cardinals downed the Michigan Wolverines (the squad who ended VCU’s season), 82-76, to earn the title of last team standing. Just hours later the national media released their way-too-early 2013-14 college hoops preseason rankings. I didn’t get the memo. It’s Thursday, lunchtime, and I’m just now getting my VCU preview up, [...]
