You just didn't have a true understanding of VCU as a basketball program back then!

Yeah, that was a talented group with high expectations all along. Really injuries played a big part in the February slump that put an NCAA bid in some doubt and made us last 4 in.I am not sure how close you follow VCU Basketball. Certainly not sure you were following the group of players who made up the 2011 Final Four team.
Now anyone who tells you prior to the season they expected final four, or even elite eight are lying and that includes the entire AD. Well maybe they tnought so with luck. However, most expected a tournament bid for that team. We also expected a win. We thought we had a top 20 team, and that Sweet 16 wasn’t out of the question.
That team had experience, talent, a hot HC, and fan support that was unparalleled in the CAA.
So, I while we were disappointed with their in season performance, we did expect a bid. Both pre-season, and as my friend G-Man stated post season due to our performance against top 100 teams on the road. We just thought we might get passed over because of the 3 letter of our conference.

I liked his game a lot. Then Brad came in, took some of his mins and ended up having the career that I thought Kearse was capable of. Lance had some health issues as well that he finally figured out and had a decent career at a DII school.Ha! It’s all good because you don’t pretend to know it all.
Heck, I thought Lance Kearse was going to be one of the best Rams of all time. I still do, but I used to, too.

I was really big on Samir. The way he was playing when he first got here I thought he had a real shot to be our first 2,000 point scorer and get a triple double at some point. Maybe Max will get a triple double but I doubt if we ever see a 2,000 point scorer.
Love Doug Brooks! We were a grand total of 0.4 seconds from missing the NCAA’s his senior season. His heads up play saved that win and our at-large bid that season. He’ll always be a VCU legend in my book.Oh man, I loved Samir. He was the real deal.
Mr. Douglas Brooks was another all-timer. Glad to be right about him.
Was it Shaka who said Doug was Briante with a jump shot?Love Doug Brooks! We were a grand total of 0.4 seconds from missing the NCAA’s his senior season. His heads up play saved that win and our at-large bid that season. He’ll always be a VCU legend in my book.
Watching early season conf teams (haven’t seen everyone), St Joe’s and Dayton have been impressive against high quality competition. Loyola seems improved, and upside on new edition/coach for St Louis. In all, while early, the A10 eye test is looking much improved for the top of the league this year. We have a lot of work to do. It’s going to be a major lift for us to win conf., but I remain optimistic.
Not sure if Shaka said that, but I clearly remember him saying Doug would be an instant fan favorite. Doug & Shaka both delivered on that one.Was it Shaka who said Doug was Briante with a jump shot?
