I thought it would be cool to keep track of how we and the conference do against the Power 5 conferences in the OOC schedule as it goes along. I'm not including the AAC or Big East in the interests of accuracy and faithfulness to the thread title. The A-10 is 6-3 vs. P5 teams so far: Wins...

All the talk about Lil Dicky on the recruiting thread had me thinking it would be cool to have a Hip Hop/Rap discussion thread for enthusiasts of the genre. Drake's 'Pound Cake' instrumental is a pretty dope beat to freestyle on... here's Childish Gambino on the same beat, which is pretty...

Since we've had a lot of talk about the NBA Draft, I thought it would be interesting for our newer fans (to learn) and older fans (to reminisce) to take a look at our history with the NBA Draft and players who have played in the Association. VCU has had 19 players drafted to the NBA: Fred...

6'8.5" PF ESPN 4-star Mamadou Diarra is down to VCU and UConn per various reports. His best basketball is definitely ahead of him and he's been on campus with Coach Wade. If you don't already follow, please consider doing so: https://twitter.com/bornready_mama His friend Hamidou Diallo is...

You may have heard that Sterling Gibbs has graduated from Seton Hall. He was 2nd-team All-Big East and is immediately eligible. ESPN just ranked him as the top transfer available in the country. Believe it or not, VCU is in the running for him and in strong position among a couple of other...

Bad losses are defined as teams over 100 in the RPI. Signature wins are assigned as top 50 RPI wins. Rhody is a real stretch at this point but I've included them for the time being. Davidson Wildcats: 13-4 (5-2 A-10) RPI: 39, KenPom: 32 (AdjO: 4, AdjD: 214) SOS: 99, non-con SOS: 222 vs. RPI...

http://hamptonroads.com/2014/11/will-uab-play-football-after-2016-jury-out-and-decision-could-affect-odu Thoughts? UAB has a very good basketball program, but it is a definite geographic outlier, even with the league's southward expansion. UAB is an old VCU rival from our Sun Belt days in...
