How many remember the Commodore 64?

Coach was asked and all that he said was...Ace is Ace. I guess that means he is doing well. No indication when he will play though.

I was not encouraged by what he said next. Something like we’ll see. 😔

Could be a polite way of saying I’m not in the mood, F off.

I heard MR say “Ace is Ace” on the radio on the ride home. What did he say next?

 

[ramzilla]

Here's hoping we get a W.

I heard ME say “Ace is Ace” on the radio on the ride home. What did he say next?

I hope it will get posted so we can listen again. I just remember being concerned, like maybe the return of Ace will be longer than we had hoped.

what I really want to see vs Vanderbilt is a full game top defensive effort and full game top rebounding effort
keep the turnovers in check (to me that means less than 16 and no more than one or two than our opponent )

I also want to see our assist to FG ratio improve - we need to score more thru TEAM effort not individual effort (think that coach speak we hear from MR- the ball needs to be HOT and not sticky

I also want to see us contest all those VAndy 3 balls - at times yesterday we gave Kennesaw too any WIDE open looks from deep from the corner and wing - that is not a winning combo for VCU ball

go rams

We’ll hear the news Ace is back once somebody spots him warming up, or it’s announced an hour or two before tip-off.

It would be foolish to give another coach that info ahead of time. Of course we all want to know, but it’s better this way.

Kenpom has this 66-65 with a 54% chance of victory for the good guys.

Yikes! Too close for comfort.

Yeah. The projections are close. Torvik shows 65-63 VCU with a 60% chance and Haslametrics is 69-67 VCU.

Well it seems when we are favored in double digits, it is either a double digit loss or a close victory. So maybe a close favorite might mean a double digit win?🤞

vcu I believe is 0-6 ATS this year (ATS - Against the Spread)
I haven't paid attention to over/under betting lines but gut feels like under is the winner there so far with our underperformance on O

a few of the betting spreads were probably set without knowledge of injuries because MR/VCU has done their Bill Belichek best to sit on injury information (ace missing ASU and bone bruise of Watkins potentially impacting his playing a lot which we saw happened)
