Dedicated Coverage of The VCU Rams
In a college sports environment that has seen a boom in conference realignment action, there may be no busier journalist than CBS Sports’ own Brett McMurphy. A Tampa native, McMurphy spent 22 years with the Tampa Tribune before moving on to cover college football and basketball for AOL FanHouse. At FanHouse, McMurphy was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in the breaking news category after uncovering a story about a college football coach who struck a player, lied about it, covered it [...]
Anyone hear University of Richmond Spider’s Athletic Director Jim Miller on ESPN950′s Hardly Working with Greg Burton this afternoon? If you, like me, are in the VCU to the A10 camp, you had to love what you heard from Miller. Here are some highlights: On money: “The biggest misconception in all this conference realignment discussion is the comment that it’s all about the money…It’s about competing at the highest level they can compete at…We’re about providing opportunities to compete at [...]
Darius Theus was tournament MVP as VCU survived a furious Drexel rally to win this year’s CAA Championship, 59-56. The Rams once again jumped out to a commanding first half lead, taking a 16-point advantage into the lockers at the half. Like Mason before them however, Drexel fought back, but in the end four clutch free throws from junior Troy Daniels were enough to punch the Rams second-straight NCAA tournament ticket. Joining Theus on the stage to collect some post-tournament [...]

Pete Thamel of the New York Times recently reported the Atlantic 10 has expressed informal interest in adding CAA powers VCU and George Mason — the conference’s two recent Final 4 participants. In a similar move, the Times reports Hostra (a [...]
After a good conference win in Wilmington against UNCW, the Rams looked to add to another road win just down 64 East in Williamsburg. VCU would have to play without Senior guard Brandon Rozzell, who led the Rams with 22 points against the Seahawks. Due to a broken hand sustained in practice this week, the Black-and-Gold will be without their sharp shooter for 2 to 4 weeks. Last time the Tribe of William & Mary played the Rams, it was [...]
It had been exactly a week since the Rams last game, an embarassing loss to cross town rivals, the Richmond Spiders. The Rams played with the energy that let you believe they havent forgotten about that loss. Beating the Green wave of Tulane, 70-67, was just the first step to getting back on track. Tulane (6-3) is out of Conference USA and fell to the Rams last year in New Orleans. Coach Smart’s havoc style defense caused big problems for [...]
