Did the police break up this illegal encampment? No?
VCU administration actually got them pizza, coffee, and donuts?
Hmm, I wonder what made things different on April 29th, 2024?

UAB, North Texas, VCU, Drake, Bradley are all at-large quality teams that would probably be in the top 40 if not for the organized effort from the Power 6 leagues to freeze out mid majors from getting Q1 and 2 opportunities.

Dayton acquitted themselves as a top 25-30 team and they were deserving of a 7-8 seed. They were one big wing/slasher away from being dominant. Very good season that helped the program.

St. Bonaventure is ~10 spots ahead of the cut line right now.
To the people that have them barely in or out: look back through team sheets since 2011. No team with a +.500 Q1+2 record and no Q3+ losses has missed the field. Bonnies currently 5-3 with just one loss outside Q1.

Man, VCU reactionaries are terrible. We lost a quad 1 road game by 3 points, like literally every college basketball team this season all the way up to the current 1 seeds. Odom had like 5 seconds to recruit and we're still on track for a double bye, top 75 NET. Go touch grass.

Can someone please explain why, given the level of talent VCU is about to land, a small segment of our fans care so much about what happens at Penn State? Best of luck to them etc etc but Coach O is taking this program on a totally different trajectory.

The A10 had a chance to give VCU a Quad 2 opportunity on Friday if they played at the Robins Center. Now they play on their home court instead, meaning that game will be Q3 even if they play Dayton. Those folks are absolutely clueless how to help their teams get at-large bids.

The glory days of ESPN2 were when they marketed themselves as the 90's grunge channel of sports. Like they aired normal games and what not just like ESPN but the branding was "sports, but if you also like Pearl Jam"

How lucky are we as VCU fans to have Mike Rhoades, the staff, players, and their families to root for every game? How many other programs outside of the P6 have guys with this level of talent AND this much heart year in, year out? So hard to pull off, yet here we are. Incredible.

You know what might have helped Penn State's at-large case? Honoring their home/home agreement with VCU and playing a Q1 road game. Would have helped that 280 NCSOS. Instead they backed out for no good reason. No sympathy from me.

13 years ago, ESPN was massively outbidding everyone for the tournament rights, and it was a foregone conclusion they were going to win. CBS swallowed their pride and did the only thing that would save them: submit a joint bid with Turner.
Thank God they did.
Again, CBS is the only network capable of grasping the gravitas and romance of this event

College basketball is a balm that eases the pain of so much heartache and sadness. When VCU's season is over, a wave of reality sets in that's hard to describe.
But the same was true for the other side today. When I saw Donna and Keith Dambrot make eye contact toward the end

I’m laughing at all the butthurt Mid major fans in my comments btw, y’all are doing nothing but proving me right- the fanbases are too small to warrant a real discussion of whether the teams themselves matter. Everybody just hops on a pity bandwagon and roots for the underdog.

Just remember folks: if you're in a power 6 league, you can essentially use the first 3 months of the season as practice so you can finish the season 3-10 against tournament teams and get a bid.

Gonna start doing an A10 X factor of the day every chance I get.
The inaugural winner for Saturday, 12/4 is the Bonnies Linton Brown, who had his first ever game as a major contributor right when Bona needed it the most:
10 pts
3/4 shooting
2/4 3
0 turnovers

Feeling extra salty in this moment so I'll say that *part* of the reason why a lot the A10 hates VCU is that we are a large public university that exists to benefit the larger surrounding community. For a lot of private school kids that concept is foreign and scary.

Look, if Indiana gets in, it's because the politics of college basketball have changed to benefit the Power 5 leagues. A 4-7 Q1 and 7-12 Q1-2 with a NCSOS in the 300's and a road record of 3-8 would have never sniffed a bid 10 years ago.

Let's be perfectly clear: VCU is right on the cut line because the Power 5 conferences have stacked the deck in so many ways over the past decade to favor power conference schools. With this resume 10 years ago, VCU would be playing for an 8/9 instead of a bid.

Briante Weber is the greatest defender in A10 history and is possibly the greatest ever in college basketball history. Taking an extra season to break a record doesn't change that.

The fact that St. Bonaventure is capable of playing this well is even more of an indictment against them. All they had to do this whole time to be a top 50 team was play smart, connected, and with urgency, and for 2 months a bunch of seniors just...didn't?

Wait I thought the power conference bros said the average fan prefers to see the elite programs play one another???
Saint Peter's final win of the NCAA Tournament was the most-watched Sweet 16 game in 11 years.

-- TBS aired three of its four least-watched Sweet 16 games ever this year.

I've seen a bunch of Power Conference bros upset about the Mountain West getting 4 teams in and all I can say is I feel you. It has to be really hard as a fan getting 13-14 Q1&2 opportunities in conference play, including 6+ chances on your home floor. You definitely got screwed

No idea what Garrison Phelps (2023 Utah State commit) decides to do, but should he follow Odom and staff to VCU, he will be an instant impact player. This video was from his senior year in HS. Currently doing a prep season in Missouri. College ready physicality on Day 1.

VCU is missing 2 of their best players and had the number 13 KenPom team dead to rights late 2nd half. Yeah, we blew it. But we're also going to finish in the top 50 if we stay healthy. Even if Bam doesn't play. If he does, could ould be our best team since 2015.

Once the NET updates, St. Bona will be 2-2 in Q1, a winning Q1+2 record, and no bad losses. All but one of their Q1 and 2 wins were away from home. This is not the resume of a team that gets left out. It's not even a resume that's in the last four in. In by at least 8-10 spots.

Yes because one slip up the entire season without one of their best players is disqualifying. You should definitely be in instead with a 22% success rate away from home.

This whole "VCU will have a bad game if they can't speed up Saint Mary's" is based off of a lot of old assumptions and dead wrong.
Over the last month, VCU is slight below average in adjusted tempo (174th nationally) and ranks 13th nationally in overall adjusted efficiency.
