I'm okay with VCU being not what the program was during the Post F4 / Peak Shaka years. The first two years in the A10 (2012-2013 & 2013-2014) the conference was VERY good and Shaka was killing it from a recruiting POV. Back to back years as NCAA 5 seeds was awesome. If you throw in his last season 2014-2015 VCU received an NCAA 7 seed (would have been closer to 5 with a healthy Bri), then we really had something cooking!I’m with you. Our program is way above average. But our expectations are not aligned with our recents results in March. I don’t wanna reset my expectations lower, but I might have to or get used to falling short of what I once expected. ; )
Now the A10 took a step back during Wade's two years (and even MR first year), but Wade's teams received back-to-back NCAA at-large 10 seeds. Year 2 and 4 of MR tenure VCU received at-larges as NCAA 8 seeds and 10 seeds. I know the landscape of college basketball is different, but I don't feel as if it is unreasonable for us fans to ask for VCU to be in consideration for an at-large bid almost every season.
