Still a little bitter about last nights game. I thought the reffing in the first half was horrible, and was pretty embarrassed how CAA came across last night (at least 2 foul shot air balls, 3 3 point air balls, a bunch of loose balls, and the baby powder incident to start the game off), but even though the second half was a little sloppy it was one of the more competive halfs ive seen all year, regardless of conference.

The announcers did say that the VCU ODU rival was called by some as the best basketball rival in the state and I honestly think that’s true. The VCU UR Black and Blue is also a damn good game. It would be great if VT and UVA would play VCU, Mason, ODU or UR regularly. I want everyone to know that what you saw last night was not what VCU fans have become accustom to over the last 5+ years.

This season was pretty bad over all, however we still finished with 23 wins with a RIP under 50 in a conference that ranks 10th overall for RPI in the most competitive CAA ive ever seen. VCU basketball is the only school in VA to produce 2 back to back first round NBA picks and is honestly probably the best sporting event to go to in Richmond. I predict us to be the CAA champs next year and think we’ll be as good as we were back when we had Maynor running things.

In the mean time ill be rooting hard for Mason and ODU, hopefully thell make some noise
