I loved that Rothstein asked him about the PSU series. Ha! Martelli did not know how to answer it. I wish VCU would just announce that he does not want to honor the games and will be taking half a million from them.

Maybe VCU is waiting for PSU to send the check before they announce the series is not going to happen.

I just don't see it being NC State. VCU and NC State have never met on the hardwood and I don't think Will Wade feels like he owes VCU anything. Also, there is no mention of this possibly happening on the NC State message boards. Common sense says it's UVA. Maybe Odom wants to get the games out of the way before Martelli has time to build his own program.

the only reason I could come up with why NC state might play us is that we were nice enough to schedule McNeese st (and lose) when Wade was there - that clearly helped Will and his program

also VCU is typically a quad 1 or 2 game based upon where it is played

Over my morning coffee.....this is true BUT I am hearing that they are trying to work it out beginning this year. If not it should begin next season. Sounds like it is UVA and not NC State as we were speculating. Never know though. Wade might be looking for a good game too. We can hope.

I can see Will Wade playing McNeese State before he plays VCU. Will has a very strong allegiance to the McNeese State AD, who gave him a second chance. He and his family are still loved in Lake Charles and still have strong ties to the area.

Last year, NC State played only one non MTE game on the road and that was against Kansas. I just don't see NC State making a road trip to the Stu for what they hope might be a Q1 or Q2 game. They will also likely be getting a SEC/ACC road game next year as their SEC/ACC game this year was at home against Texas.

As I stated earlier, I think it is probably UVA. Odom seems like the type of person (unlike Rhoades) that will honor the H&H. I also think he may want to get the games out of the way sooner than later before Martelli has a chance to have his own system fully in place at VCU.

Based on your coffee talk, I am officially flipping my opinion and saying it's probably UVA. Never go against @AlienAiden's coffee talk.

When #1 sone moved out one of the first things mrs74 did was move the coffe pot upstairs to his unused bathroom.

I questioned that at first but not having to go downstairs for that first cup has turned out to be quite nice 👍

We just went thru a 3rd floor renovation. It is like a mini apartment up there in our new master bedroom suite. My wife mentioned putting a coffee bar up there along with a mini-fridge. My response...I knew I married you for a good reason. Once it is up there I will work on having an 80 inch TV and a nice sitting area too. Goals! PS-I might get a velvet robe and pipe too.

And some 🐰 ears lol
 
From reading this board I have to comment on the possible game with Penn State. I lived in Pennsylvania, and a large portion of my family today lives in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. If you use the term mid major that would apply to Penn State basketball. There is nothing major about Penn State basketball. Some individuals call the A-10 Conference mid major and some Individuals call the A-10 Conference a major conference. No matter what you call the A-10, VCU is a major basketball program. Look at the current recruiting rankings for the coming year, and most analysts have Penn State last in the B10. The future does not look good for Penn State basketball. VCU has nothing to gain from playing Penn State, and I hope Penn State buys out the games.
 
Comment on a possible game with NC State and Will Wade. I could see that as a possible game since the NC State Athletic Director is Boo Corrigan, and Boo in 2013 got his Masters of Education degree from VCU. I have heard that Boo does follow VCU.

I hope they wait for that check to clear before announcing anything.

Jokes aside, they probably won't announce anything.

The elephant in the room will be no games and someone will eventually have to address it. The 'Why?" is the one that will be sugarcoated or weird narratives will be created from Pennsyltucky. I am in the mood to spill the beans on what I know about this.
