GMU and @ Drexel are considered bad losses for them? Might as well list all of their losses then.

Good loss/bad loss is too qualitative for me so I went by RPI. I believe a "bad loss" is considered a sub-top 100 RPI and a "quality win" is considered a top 100 RPI. Like I said, wins/losses are all debatable on which are "good" and which are "bad" so don't shoot the messenger. For example, George Mason finished fourth in the CAA, but is considered a "bad loss" while VCU finished fifth in the CAA and would be considered a "quality win"

Coach Smart didn't make second half adjustments and we lost even though we were the more talented team.

Seriously though, I think it might represent ours being the second game of the day on Friday, but I am not sure.
 
Gotcha! Didnt know it was part of a series. I just thought it was the most important game of the year.

GO RAMS!
Beat Blue Hens!!
 
Right now, this is the MOST important game of the year. Saturday's game and the regular season are behind us. Friday is our FOCUS!

OK, we are all frustrated fans. That said, the keys to Monday night begin Friday afternoon. Get a lead, get offensive rebounds, rest the starters and win. The ability to keep fresh legs in the game is the key. That will enable the defense to do its job and keep us in the games. They get harder each night we are alive. We have the deepest bench.

Also, enough of the bashing of the players. They will come together for this tournament. I feel Joey will exercise leadership and as the team, they will have a fire in their belly. Couple that with the tremendous fan support, I like our chances. Won't predict we will win it all, however, if any team can do it in four days in the CAA, it is the VCU RAMS.

I agree with this especially that we need to stop bashing the players. Yes we all have our opinions but can we wait until the season is over for the negative comments. I the "real world" you wouldn't complain about a co-worker in front of the customer or a team member of a project and expect good results. This is when they need our support the most. There will be plenty of time to find fault and place blame after the season.
 
Probably Hassell and Razor. Maybe Punk but he doesn't strike me as the type to do that.
