Anyone see the comparison thread on the zone? It's insane how similar the runs are so far.
GMU'06 compared to VCU'11

since you didn't quote what was said,
That is scary though.
Maybe history really will repeat itself.

I thought I read somewhere that this was the first time a #10 was playing a #11 in the sweet 16.....no?

Wichita was a 7 seed that year, not a 10 seed.
GMU did play their opening game(s) in that tournament in Dayton though.

The records of our opponents and the way our opponents got that seed(conference tourney losses) are the same. Is UF still in the tourney?

We are not GMU, we are VCU. Hopefully the biggest difference can be in our ability to continue the run a little longer than they did!

Yeah KU is the 2nd favorite based on seeding. However with Duke getting Irving back that is close. Wish we had two twins on our team. Like having Skeen get in foul trouble and you just put in his twin brother with 0 fouls. Get 10 fouls!

Although I can't remember all the details of their run besides getting the the final 4, but I would think we may have gained more national exposure than GMU up until they reach the elite 8 or so. Regardless, this is all great for our program and our conference.
Heard on some show...forgot which one....that Shaka said he has talked with about 8 recruits this week and that they definitely have a different view of VCU now.

That's what I am talking about! This run is all about the recruiting. If we can steal a superior pg we will be back. Maybe not sweet 16 but we could be very good for the next 3 years. Juvonte, DJ, and Toby give us a real advantage inside. If Juvonte works hard this summer and because more reliable on the offensive end, and DJ keeps improving on defense, add in a healthy Toby, a redshirted Heath, plus adding in Brad on the wing and helping inside VCU could be tough next year.
All we need is a pg, plus Daniels to work his butt off and were good.
