Re: 3/15 | VCU | 12:00PM (NBCSN) | A10 Quarterfinals

Are we gonna actually be favorites? I would imagine the line will be close to a pick um. URI entered today with an NET Rank of #136 and beat #31 VCU. SBU was #130 and defeated #152 GMU. URI may very well have a higher ranking right before the game. The KenPom rankings are somewhat similar as well. ...

Big effort by the ENTIRE team today. They all contributed. Dowtin took over down the stretch. That three as the shot clock expired was the difference.

Fortunate to be down just three at half. Totally up for grabs. Need CL and the rest to step up.

Bad last several possessions. No points in the last 3:17. Passed it around the perimeter and heaved up bad shots. Lead should be more. Fatts needs to take better shots and make ft's. Cyril has been a monster. Need others to help him out with scoring.
