1996 game VCU vs. Pitt

Here's a 6 minute clip of a game between VCU at Pitt at the Colesium! Larry Michaels play by play and Dick Tarrant is the color man! See! we got Big East teams back then!

1996 team wow! The size inside! Bernard Hopkins 6'5 250, George Byrd (6'8 270), John Smith (6'8 270), Marlow Talley (6'7 240)...good guards ben Peabody - could he jump! One of the most underrated PG's in VCU History!

Could the 1996 team beat the 2007 or 2011 teams?

check out Mike Ellis on the bench as assistant coach at 4:32

That's Hall of Famer Coach Al McGuire doing the color on that broadcast team. Yes, the same Al McGuire that won an NCAA championship while a coach at Marquette.

idk, it's a HomeTeamSports broadcast, not national... I think dl may be right with the call on Tarrant (but they do sound quite similar)

Yes, I believe you are correct. My bad.

My opinion? No. The 1995-96 was not as good as either the 2006-07 team nor 2011-12 team. Both Grant and Smart are (were) "head and shoulders" better than Sonny Smith and would have been out coached. Just my opinion!
