V.C.U.

not so fast my friend.....weak sauce analogy.

vcu has pretty good tournament history. anthony grant had them in the ncaa 2 out of 3 years and shaka won the cbi with them his first season before last season's run.

middle.....tourney history....not a good predictor.

vcu:
jd barnett
sonny smith
jeff capel
anthony grant
shaka smart.

middle:
kermit

not so sure i'd compare middle to vcu. hell....i'm not sure i'd compare us to vcu realistically. felton had a nice run. willard did too. horn underachieved until his last year and we all know what the dummy did.

vcu had built up some legacy points.

I already stated that I did NOT think we should have gotten in the NCAA tourney.

When you lose to terrible teams like WKU you do not deserve it.

Get ready to lose a lot more to WKU in the future. We were far from
terrible when we played you.

Love that UNCC OOC-- Kennesaw, UNC-Central, #3330 Radford, etc, etc.

Not quite why you decide to bring Charlotte into the conversation when they weren't even a tournament relevant other than to take a quick jab. What ever gets you by.

Guess I would be a little agitated too if we were 23 years removed from our last tournament bid....see what I did there.


I'm not trying take away from a good season, I just see why the selection committee left them out. Good luck against UT-Knoxville!

Like I've said several times---- I do NOT think we deserved to be in the tourney.

You were the one talking S.O.S. We cannot control that the SBC is the 19th ranked conference in all the land.

In the past, we have contributed greatly to the sh*tty OOC schedules, but not this year.

I would have like to have had another shot, but alas.

I should have put "terrible-RPI" team, not "terrible" team. That's what I meant and had changed it by the time of your posting.
