ROAD TRIP!

<a href="http://www.vcuramnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6627" title="RoadTrip" src="http://www.vcuramnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" /></a>The Rams have won seven straight after Saturday's rematch road win against the Panthers of Georgia State. That victory sets VCU up well down the stretch, putting them three games ahead of GSU and two ahead of Northeastern for a top-4 finish in conference play. Having never had a team play on Friday night and win five straight come CAA tourny time, locking up a first round tournament bye is crucial for the first weekend in March. The Rams get their one and only shot at Northeastern in a Homecoming tip this Saturday in Richmond, but have to deal with a pesky William &amp; Mary squad that nearly knocked off the black-and-gold in an overtime thriller in Richmond first.

Our mission this week is to get as many Ram fans to travel the short trip down 64 East to Williamsburg, in what is always one of our favorite road trips of the season. We want to turn Kaplan Arena into Siegel Center East this Wednesday as Shaka's squad takes on the Tribe in a 7PM tip. Get out of work at 5PM? perfect. It'll take you about an hour to get there, leaving an hour to cook a couple of parking lot burgers, drink your favorite pre-game beverage, and get in your seat. We do it every year, and it's always a blast. So join us this Wednesday and show your Rams some road support.

Directions From Richmond: Take I-64 East to Lightfoot Exit 234 (Route 199 East). At top of exit ramp, take a right onto Route 199 East. Stay on 199 East until Monticello Avenue exit. Exit at Monticello Avenue, and bear left on exit ramp. At bottom of ramp, turn left at light onto Monticello (pass under 199). Go straight through fifth stoplight (at Ironbound Road). After the light, continue straight for about half a mile and take the first right onto Compton Drive (before light at the former-hospital and shopping centers) There may not be a street sign! The road is heavily wooded on both sides. Continue on Compton Drive and turn right at the first stop sign onto Brooks Road. William and Mary Hall will be on your left. Please DO NOT park on the ramp!

Tickets: Tickets can be purchased online here https://www.ticketreturn.com/prod2/Buy.asp?EventID=74790 or at the Kaplan Arena box office on game day. $14 standard adult tickets, $8 youth. Group prices also available. VCU is technically in section 24, so something also to consider when buying your tickets.
