Re: 1/23|VCU Rams|7:00PM (CBSSN)

Nice win for you guys tonight, we didn't bring it (we seem to lose some of our energy on the road). Good luck the rest of the way, glad the only injury was minor (losing a tooth) for both sides.

Re: 1/23|VCU Rams|7:00PM (CBSSN)

......against their various press defenses, hopefully that slow loopy soft cross back court pass will be limited in our press offense.... They handled Press Virginia just fine, not worried about VCU's press VCU doesn't press much this year. Our Half Court defense is as great as I've seen since beco...

Re: 1/23|VCU Rams|7:00PM (CBSSN)

VCU has a more veteran team, with freshman overall getting less PT than URI. URI freshman average PT is 67 minutes versus VCU at 30 minutes. Their top freshman is Vince Williams whose PT is lower than three of our guys. So how the URI freshman handle the pressure of an important game played at home...

Re: The Coaching Carousel

Just to clarify a ton of posts I saw on this: Shaka was not affiliated with VCU before becoming HC. VCU hired him from Florida, where he was an assistant under Billy Donovan. The hire was the result of VCU's "Villa 7" coaching symposium, sponsored by Nike but now defunct. Wade got a head c...

Re: 2/2 | VCU Rams | 7PM (ESPN2)

They really have no respect for us on that VCU board. Since they are the "flagship" program... Apparently they know that Hurley is going to bolt to some P5 school when the year is over since he's just like Shaka Smart... cause ya know we don't have money and all our good players are leavi...

Re: Week #3 - Games of Interest.

VCU can do no wrong today - hit 10 3's in the first half, beating Cal 55-29 at halftime. VCU got into Maui later than everyone else due to the UVA game as well as a 5 hour delay in Dallas for engine trouble. Lost out on sleep and a full practice - I think it really showed today. Also working Nine n...

Re: Week #2 - Games of Interest

Interesting that the Monday daytime game at Richmond drew 6,805 fans which is close to capacity. I know URI had a great opening crowd, but there is still more to do to grow the URI fan base and make it the brand in the South County area and beyond. We must always push for continuous improvement. Ju...

Re: First trip to Rhode Island

I think we'll try to make it to Mews if we make good time on 95. If not, proclamation it is. Doors to the Ryan Center open at 1?

I'm feeling your guys' pain as far as watering holes. I was hoping there were places closer! Good luck tomorrow and maybe I'll see some of y'all around. Thanks again.

Re: First trip to Rhode Island

Thanks for the insight guys (or gals)! Is Uber prevalent in the area, or is it better to taxi? Thinking about parking near Mews or that Rhody Bar and getting to the game somehow. Can someone expand on the Beer Garden in the Ryan Center? Hoping to get up to the area around 11/11:30. Looks like it's g...

First trip to Rhode Island

Good evening all, Recently decided to come up for the game Saturday. First time in Rhode Island and at URI. Probably getting up there around noon. Any must hit places before/after? Good pregame spot within walking distance? Not expecting many other VCU fans - we usually have preset gathering bars wh...

Re: Week #13 - Games of Interest

Essentially the game was over since VCU could not get a shot off in .4 seconds anyway. But horrible way to lose after hitting that great 3 point shot. A shame to lose that way. CANT blame the students because all the players thought it was over too. Clear the floor and let VCU throw it in. Fairness...

Re: If EC is out for the year... and he is

If URI is a PROGRAM, then they can overcome the loss of one player. Will they be as good? No. But spare me the "season is over." I can already read the posts from March... "If EC was healthy, then we would've/could've/should've...." Just win. Best of wishes from VCU. The same th...

Re: New Uniforms 2015-16

That's funny, their new coach specifically said HAVOC was out. They've always looked like the Buffalo Wild Wings house team, especially their warmups last year. You have that wrong, Will Wade said in his introductory press conference that "Havoc still lives here" - although he's recruitin...

Re: Down the stretch they come.....

Great run down of what's ahead TruePoint. The fun starts tomorrow at noon with UMass against VCU. If VCU loses we control our destiny to be the sole regular season champion, if UMass loses then we'd be a game and a half up on them for a bye with a magic number of 4 before we take the court in Virgi...

Re: Game #15: (17) Virginia Commonweath - Tuesday @ 7:30pm

Would prefer we imposed our will and made teams match up to us. I remember VCU playing at the Ryan center back in 07? Maybe? They had eric maynor after the year he destroyed Duke. Did we win that game? This years VCU can have problems scoring. I remember being most impressed with the speed VCU grab...
