Re: 2/15 | VCU | 7:00PM (YurView/ESPN+)
Ny giantfan how could Weston have pushed the VCU player in the back when you can clearly see on the replay on espn+ that Weston was in front of the VCU player, not behind him . If he pushed him he would have had to push him in the chest , so maybe you need to watch a replay . The replay does show th...

rhody rudder , go onto espn= and watch the Weston play again . I have watched it several times .Weston certainly did not push anyone in the back .

Re: 2/15 | VCU | 7:00PM (YurView/ESPN+)
I think Dayton has a much stronger lineup than VCU . Look how they handled VCU recently in Richmond , and they had to basically give the game away in dayton , having had a 4 point lead and the ball with 34 seconds remaining. I think a victory over VCU would be easier than beating Dayton.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
Have to agree with much of what you have said Ramster , especially as regard to defense . I watched Freeman constantly trailing his man on defense whom freeman let get behind him with the ball with a simple fake , forcing big man help in the lane which often led to open layups or open threes . I had...

The opening line is out from Vegas at VCU - 7.5 . That sounds high , although taking into account the loss of Freeman , maybe not .
