VCU was quite a matchup problem for us which was good for our experience. They were athletic and long. They were hitting threes both contested and uncontested. Milan's shot was off and he wasn't as able to guard their athleticism. Just imagine when he and Omaha really get into a groove to add to the depth.
They were a matchup problem for us and will be for a lot of teams I think.

But I think what we found out last PM is our guys as a group are a bunch of tough mothers. Gilbert and Lipsey basically willed us to the "W". And that was great to see.

Watching this FAU game. Am I the only one that thinks Dusty May(FAU) and Ryan Odom(VCU) look a lot alike?

Buzz Williams was at Va Tech. Possible match with former team if we beat Va Tech?
Larry as a consultant for Boise State. If they could've won the first round we could've faced him.

And the longest stretch, Mike Young, the Va Tech coach today coached at Wofford. I wonder if he recruited Jackson? I doubt it since Mike left in 2019 and Pav didn't go there until '22. No idea how long schools like Wofford recruits guys. I'm guessing they get "what's left" after the P6 is done.

Thinking more about VT today. They remind me of Iowa. Not just because they’re all white! Maybe sorta. They seem like a team that can fill it up but will struggle to stay in front of us on D. If we can hit the outside shot today I like our chances. ISU 85 VT 73

. Looking at the box score for the Aggie and FAU game. Holy crap did someone grease the rims? That's some hot 3pt shooting for both teams. Also FAU had under 10 TO's. If we get past VT that will be a scary game.

SIAP but VCU went into the game last night ranked #294 out of #350 in 3 point makes. Shooting like 21-23% or something outlandish. Shot 46% last night. It wouldn’t surprise me if they go out and lose by 15+ tonight, and then we can all overreact on how bad we still are

I was about to say that King McClures dumbass also thinks this, because he mentioned Odom a lot last night. But in actuality, you have them flipped. May is at FAU

McClure’s analysis isn’t bad but his voice is like chalk screeching on a blackboard. It’s always an eye roll when ex-athletes get in the booth and bring up their playing days as if anybody gives two *h*ts, in his case nobody should mention they went to Baylor.

Line started out +2 right now it's +4 so I think a lot of people are seeing what we all saw that game.

Having a guy like Gilbert that can almost get in the paint and draw a foul every time is going to be a great addition. Saved our ass when they were running the game last night. It’s almost as good as a timeout and it’s usually points on the board.

Every single Virginia Tech fan I’ve met at my hotel expected to lose yesterday and they’re expecting to lose today.

Met a mom of one of the players too. “I hope they’re **** so my son plays more” lmaoo

I hoped they are very focused and not exhausted after yesterday
