Fuel the Fire

[IbleedVCU]

The most important thing for our team is to maintain the intensity. We need the media to keep doubting us. Prove them wrong boys.

The Rams might be able to do it once, but to then follow up against a potential opponent like top-seeded Kansas for a berth in the Final Four isn’t likely.
• Final Four chances: 10 percent.

Sweet Sixteen rank
16 of 16. Virginia Commonwealth: Uh-oh. Disrespectin' the Rams again! Rogue teams that reach the regional finals are always fun. But this is a team that lost four of its final five in the regular season, and overall has limitations. A banner year for the program, I'll let them enjoy it and wish them the best at more bracket-busting.

Winner: Kansas. The bracket gods have smiled on the top-seeded Jayhawks, granting them most-favored-program status by sweeping seeds 2 through 9 out of their path in the Southwest Region. They're joined in San Antonio by the three double-digit dwarves: No. 10 Florida State, No. 11 Virginia Commonwealth and No. 12 Richmond. The combined seeding of the group is 34, tying it for the weakest regional quartet since the field was expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

Unless one of the dwarves pulls a George Mason, we'll see Kansas in Houston. The question is whether it will even break a sweat getting there.
