Wagner is coached by a name older Rams fans should remember, Bashir Mason, who played at Drexel for Bruiser Flint.

Bashir was good...and I miss Bruiser

I'm guessing there won't be any additional Battle 4 Atlantis games. In previous years, you could play 27 games and participate in an MTE with up to 4 games. However, last year, the NCAA modified scheduling to allow 28 or 29 games with a 3 or 2 game MTE, respectively. Since Battle 4 Atlantis is a 3 game event, I don't think there's room for any more teams/games in the MTE.

If Wagner hits a last minute near half court shot to win and Bashir rips his shirt off on the sidelines, I will probably break something . Seeing him do that once was enough

Was that a one year deal due to COVID?

 

[Violet Ram]

Was that a one year deal due to COVID?

No. The NCAA lowered the number of games to 25 last year due to covid.

Apologies if this was already covered... Are we going to play at LSU this year, or did that ship sail last year with COVID?

 

[VCU Heel]

No. They backed out.

 

[northernvatiger]

No. They backed out.

Thank you. So Frank wants no part of us!

For reasons that have not been explained, we actually backed out of this year's game. flsu still wanted to play us.

 

[Havoc City]

No. They backed out.

No, we backed out.

Wasn't it because of COVID?

 

[Wolfpack Ram]

No. They backed out.

VCU backed out of the deal due to a small window LSU gave VCU to play the game this year. VCU's schedule did not align with LSU's window to play the game.

 

[AlienAiden]

VCU did not comment other than to say LSU would not be scheduled. LSU gave their version which was that they tried. LSU was not flexible when trying to work a date. That is what I heard. I would not characterize it that VCU backed out of the game. Dates could not be worked out.

Wasn't it because of COVID?

We lost the 2020-2021 game at flsu because of Covid, but it was going to be rescheduled for 2021-2022. That game has now been called off.

Wolfpack Ram (see post above) says it's because they gave us a small window to play. I didn't see that publicly, although I might have missed it. He also seems to have some insider information, and maybe he's sharing that with us now. If so, thanks for assist, Wolfpack Ram.
