I think Tillman will have to kick someone in the balls to pick up #5.

Keep attacking anyway.

I'm being sarcastic about the fans. I know it's the same everywhere. But since URI is who I follow it gets annoying to read and listen to.

Matthews is clearly hurt. He hasn't been the same player in a long time. In fact I don't think he's ever been the same since his injury 2 years ago, even though he's shown small bursts, like in the A10 tournament last year.

Uhhh the first half


My bad. Uhh, what's he % the last 5 or 6 games? I know it you cannot question anything on this board or you will offend many. That he is not in there down the stretch as a senior leader tells you something, especially the way Dan feels about the kid. Not saying anything bad about him simply questioning his shooting. Actually overall play. I love the kid as much as anyone trust me.

He's their best player overall, forget today. I'm not trying to rip Garrett but if Garrett was still the starter and Dowtin was on the bench they'd be a fringe tournament team. There isn't another player on the roster you can say that about.

I got ripped a long time ago for criticizing players so I stopped. But his play does frustrate me. I feel like there's certain guys that you can't criticize. Jarvis Garrett being another one. When's the last time he's even been a serviceable player?

Jarvis was fine before our slump.
Took over the Davidson game at home and was a sure bet from three the whole year.
He was also one of the main reasons we beat providence and stayed in the game at Alabama.

agree that his play has been poor, but I'm reluctant to blame it on injuries. he's made enough plays to show he isn't hurt.

Just glad they got the W. I , for one have become a bit spoiled and expect games to be easier. But very solid VCU team and this is March where things just don't come easy.

Rhody needed a game like this. Finally stuck some FT’s at the end. Stayed tough, kept attacking.

Good win. Hopefully the made FT's at the end will build some confidence. While I didn't see the game I get the feeling that they were extremely tight and needed this one in the worst way.

We thankfully made our free throws to close it out. Big run to end the game after VCU had went ahead. Gutted it out. Dowtin was huge today. Hopefully this game gets them back on the track they were on several weeks ago. Should at least be a confidence boost.
