    REBOUNDING

    Love the rebounding by the young guys. VCU is getting KILLED in rebounding again this year. Is it the coaching? Are the upper classmen big guys just not good interior players? What can MR do to close that rebounding margin? Other than that this team looks so much more...alive...and...

    Is Havoc dead? Should it be killed off?

    Havoc was Shaka's creation. Nowadays, when these guys press and double team its an invitation for guys to get out of position and display poor footwork. Every time VCU presses or double teams the opponent passes right out of it, gets a numerical mismatch, and takes a high percentage shot. Is...

    Will we ever win a close one?

    This is getting frustrating! Hopefully they pull out a close one sooner or later. I still like Wade the this year's Ram's. At least there have not been embarassing blowouts and every team has had a decent RPI.

    Please, Mocfan and smart VCU posters...

    ...enlighten us on Will Wade. What are his strengths and weaknesses? How well will he recruit? Who will likely be his assistants? Is he deft enough to keep the recruits? How happy were they with him at UTC? A lot of us out-of-town VCU fans don't know much about him. The process of hiring...

    Nate James, Joe Pasternack, Will Wade, Ballard, Rhoades...

    What other names have you heard? Is there an official list, who is on the selection committee, and are they underway? If you were AD, who would you offer?

    The official "crow tastes good" thread

    I did not expect a win much less a blowout. I thought this season was going to wind down quietly and we'd roar back next year. Clearly, he did something right and its more than just hitting shots. I do believe Shaka recruits and motivates well although its obvious I question schematics and...

    Explanation for the shooting slump...

    ...its the horrendous half court offense. This team is seriously challenged from an offensive viewpoint if they don't get a bucket in transition. It is basically a "chuck'n'duck" offense. A few passes and then a poorly chosen off balance shot is what I saw against Dayton. Or, just give it to...

    1 of 10 from 3 point range

    But we don't need to work on shooting skills. Or, what is working works good enough. Ok, rant over.

    The lackluster shooting thread

    Is there something about playing fast that means your fundamentals stink? Seriously Shaka, fix this problem. Now. Please. Marketing slogans like "havoc" will get you only so far if you don't address defective fundaments like poor shooting technique. You recruit well, the kids play...

    Is Karl Hess a favorite of you guys?

    He was fired by the ACC for a derogatory racist comment.

    The official piss and moan about free throws thread

    Might as well have one thread per negative topic... Just kidding...but this is an area sorely in need of improvement.

    Ducks win comfortably, 68-57. Very curious to hear others views on this.

    Beatdown on the boards...

    Down 29-15 right now on the rebounding. Where is Mo?! Guest?! 14 extra possessions for the opponent...we are lucky to be down only 8 with 15 min to go. Clean the glass and win the game! Lets GO!

    First time...lost the rebounding battle but won the game

    Oh well...still a very good indicator of how we are doing. Interesting boxscore....Reddic and Weber did not score much....I like seeing the energy of the young guys. It is needed and very welcome.

    Win the rebound battle, win the game.

    Its that simple. Disappointed Shaka did not follow my advice; but they will rebound.

    REBOUND DARN IT!!!

    FOCUS. Losing the rebound battle, losing the game. They will turn it around... C'mon Shaka...get'em to HIT THE BOARDS. Every time you win the rebounding contest, you win the game. Very simple.

    Have Shaka's teams always been this bad at rebounding?

    Just asking. Rebounding and free throws have really been our Achilles heels over the years. As soon as we start hitting the boards, we start putting distance between us and the opponent. Do Guest and Alie-Cox need more minutes than Shannon?
