Mr X said:

May have a Wheeler sighting tonight.

Maybe 4 fouls in 7 minutes, but if it gets the job done, bring it on

Seven minutes? That would be a helluva long run for him before fouling out, but I'd love to see him playing the role of thug.

I could have sworn I've seen a NIT banner hanging in the Stu, but I looked it up and apparently not. Maybe I'm thinking of the CBI championship with Shaka or it was another sport (volleyball?).

Regardless, I discovered we actually HAVE made it this far in the NIT before, moving through Marshall and Southern Miss before losing to UConn 69-60 in 1988 under Mike Pollio

I remember getting score updates via phone during that UConn game.lol

I cut my teeth on the black top courts of Lee Park in Petersburg against the likes of Kenny Harris. Cue the Rhoades commercial.

Never see anybody playing there anymore.

I was just being casual as to size, their style is much different than Quinn's. I don't think I would call them Dirk's, but also sure hope we don't make them look like it.

It's March 27 and we are still playing, so GO RAMS, JUST WIN ! ( I think about 37 games we all have a pretty good idea what needs to happen and not happen for us to win games so I will leave it at that)

My daughter's now a 2LT in the Army. She had to do some training last summer at Fort Gregg-Adams (formerly Fort Lee) in Petersburg.
I could never remember "Gregg-Adams." Being the VCU/MCV guy that I am, I kept calling it Fort "Patch Adams."
She hated that!

NEVERTHELESS, it's kinda cool we're getting to take aim at these teams which otherwise would not ever consider playing lowly ole VCU. Postseason play has its distinct advantages.
#VCUvsEVERYBODY

I'm trying to whip up support for SLC based USU fans to show up and cheer for VCU. Most are still bitter about Craig Smith's exit 3 years ago.

We win tonight and that will be our 25th win!

Our away record is 7-4. We're not going away and far from starting a Fire RO thread. Can't wait! Beat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ute_people

They aren't bitter about Odom's exit? Frankly, after losing three coaches in three years I might be curled up in the corner in the fetal position.

Yeah no kidding. The best of the three IMHO.
