The question everyone is afraid to ask...

[DanInAZ]

Is this Mo Alie-Cox's 6th or 7th year?

Seriously -- It seems like he has been at VCU forever.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Too funny...guy next to me was saying he was in his 30's and this was his 9th or 10th year....

[Billyboy78]

And he got schooled by our guy today.

[section(105)]

......future NFL player.....?

[Da_Process_Survivor]

Even Gordie Howe thinks he's hung around too long

[rodfromcranston]

Gordie's dead, so he doesn't think much these
day.
Same with Tartaglia, BarzinnI, and all the heads of The Five Families.
Mo Alie-Cox is also currently collecting Social Security.
One serious question.
With all the foul problems, why did Akele
play only 2 minutes?

[TruePoint]

I think Hurley felt VCU was too physical for him and he didn't have a role in that type of game. Hard to tell if he was right from 2 minutes, but at the end of the first half when he was out of bodies, he went with Berry and played zone rather than using Akele, so he must have felt pretty strongly about it.

[RhowdyRam02]

We won, he was right.

I've been drinking since 20 of 11. I don't really know if he was right, but I'm going to assume.

Good to see DH play some zone at the end of 1h

[UCH21377]

That was a really good move by Hurley, going to zone. I think Akele would have been pushed around by these guys; VCU was very physical. Kind of makes next year more than a little scary. What I was wondering: is Layssard so bad that he can't even have a role inside against these guys?

He's right up there with Perry Ellis (Kansas) and Peyton Siva (Louisville) as guys who have had a successful 15-year college career...

[Billyboy78]

Alex Murphy too...

Add Pat Calathes and Juan Fernandez to the list

[Rhody15]

If EC stays next year he'll be definetly be on the "How the hell are these guys still in college" list at the beginning of next season.

[rodfromcranston]

We've actually had two six year players.
Mike Brown and Cuttino Mobley.
Brown was a transfer, who got a waiver for a final season.
Cat was prop 48,and then red-shirted for an injury in his first
junior season.

[hrstrat57]

Kinda like Holton no?

Wasn't he like 25 at WVU?

[section(105)]

......25 was his months on probation..,,,

[reef]

I was going to mention perry Ellis seemed like he was on the 7 year plan

[Rammgr]

Mobley was not here 6 yrs. Prop 48 as a freshman. Played his entire soph yr. 2 games his junior yr & redshirted. Came back for another junior & senior yr. On campus 5 yrs. I think the same is true for Mike Brown. Played his freshman yr in CA. Redshirted then played 3 yrs here.

[ramfan85]

Seems like Hare was here forever. I think when he finally left, he got a gold watch....lol

Brian Cardinal. His Wikipedia page also contains this delightful bit of "vandalism": Brian Cardinal set a career high 67 points against the Houston Rockets, while only shooting 14 shots from the field. Cardinal also holds the NBA record for charges taken in a quarter (9), charges taken in a game (24), and the highest charges taken per minute (0.9).

[reef]

Wasn't Cardinal the guy who beat us with a jumper in the 97 tourney??

[Rammgr]

Reef - you are correct about Cardinal. I was there in Memphis to see it. I believe it was an OT game.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

It was.

Al seemed to be using the same strategy that worked against Glenn Robinson and Purdue four years earlier -- contain the other guys and then worry about Cardinal/Robinson. Cardinal was a better player and had a better supporting cast.

[rodfromcranston]

Huh? Robinson was National Player of The Year.
He scored 40 on us.
Cardinal was a role player.
ARD didn't come out to defend the 3 point line,
leaving Cardinal wide open for that 3 pointer.

[reef]

If I remember correctly Brad Miller was purdues best player
