Hoping somehow we can all start using this more. Problem is there just hasn’t been enough chatter over here. Still so many folks and official accounts over there that don’t mess with this app yet

And I’m with you on all the Billy Lange jokes, but Brown, Reynolds and Flemming is a dangerous trio.

There are just two A-10 teams currently top-2 in both offensive and defensive efficiency in A-10 play: VCU and…. St. Joe’s. 5 of Hawks 6 conference losses were on the road (SLU, DUQ in OT, Dayton, Loyola & Mason), the other L being home to VCU. They are a DANGEROUS team to have to play in DC.

I would love to ONLY be here, but there is currently just so much more discussion over there that it is hard to leave

VCU v UMass today in a sold out game that may not see sold out attendance via the snow, but we will see.

UMass strengths: offensive rebounding, 3-point defense

UMass weaknesses: shooting, fouling.

Kenpom has VCU by 17

BlueSky needs this video of JC Smooth after his big game last night…

Need way more people to come over here. The amount of insane, hateful stuff that is posted over there just seems to have grown exponentially.

Where stats meet guts: VCU shot 21% from three. Turned it over 14 times. Dayton made 23-25 from the line.

On the road.

Found a way.

Old school VCU road W. Turned Flyers over on 27.5% of their possessions! Hey now!

Anyone have any updates on the Henrico Green City plan? But in particular, the arena?

I like Bones’ path to playing time much better in ATL than his last stop.

That road contest against SLU is gonna be TOUGH. Win it though and the Rams would be 7-1 in A-10 play with home games against La Salle and Richmond on deck.

The wildest Ram Nation TBT jersey I ever came up with. Puma ended up putting this yellow texture stuff all over them, but still thought they were a fun concept.

Re-skeet(?) if you were around to experience this place with VCU fans… almost feels like it was a dream now…

Note: for Brooklyn in particular, but these spots prob beat everywhere else too.

My top-3 drunken night locations during A-10 tourney, in order:

1) Karaoke dance party at Union Hall
2) KBH, year-1
3) First time at Lucky 13

VCU margin of defeat in their 4 losses:

v Seton Hall: 3 (OT)
v Nevada: 3
at New Mexico: 7
at Bona 2

It feels like VCU can be inconsistent sometimes from quarter to quarter, but from game to game, so far they appear to be a very consistent team.

HUGE game Fri. v Bona (also my bday, so a must-win)

Sometimes you just have to stop and see the programs that are ranked around VCU. A lot of history and large budgets pulling similar results to the Rams.

β€œFeels like -32°”…don’t wanna know what that feels like at all since that is 40Β°colder than apparently what it feels like on this brutal dog walk I’m on right now.

I think what tends to help me with that are 1) pools and 2) the ocean

I despise winter. These temps are brutal. I have no clue how people can live in colder regions than we have in VA.

Bumping this. Add a big win at Rhode Island. You collect enough road wins against top teams, you earn hardware…
