Good game.   USF played tough.  Thanks for tolerating an opposition fan.  It'd be great if VCU and USF could work some Home & Home series out in the future.

Tobi grabbed that off the top of the backboard.

Tobi can fly to block

Mailbu's most wanted seems like he's from the soccer field in the way he tries to draw fouls.

That's just the Ukrainian cut.

That Bamisile guy looked like a handful against Villanova, very active, quick, long.  

He's definitely a special player that can really fill it up if he's hitting.   We have a very athletic, tall, and athletic team that gives most opponents some trouble.

@VCURamFan, I watched nearly the entire game with Villanova. Nova didn't look like a #1 seed.  VCU looked much more like a team that was athletic and could fly.  It should be a fun game to watch Sunday!

It's been a very strange season for VCU, as it was rebuilding year.  We have been inconsistent and a lot will depend on what version of VCU shows up Sunday.   Could see us losing by 20, winning by 20 or it being a close game.   Also, Tobi Lawal can fly.

Heads up on a player to watch out for who apparently defies gravity for fun.

You can likely expect a decent VCU contingent in attendance.  VCU travels very well and even if it's just the NIT, I would expect a good group of people wearing Black and Gold come Sunday.

Is this the guy that touched the roof when he dropped in a bucket off on sideline inbound play in the last couple minutes last night? 

It is, he also did something I've never seen him do and make sure he very softly set the ball down after.  He's a character.

I'm sorry for a second there I thought you said 49.5 inch vertical. 

I couldn't quickly locate a montage of some of his disrespect to gravity, but here's a fun short.

Yeah come trash talk us! We like it!

We're a basketball school now!

Prepare to get face-doinked by Kasean Pryor all night!  

Wait until you meet Tobi Lawal with his 49.5 inch vertical, I swear dude has pogo stick springs in his calves.

I have a huge respect for VCU and how consistent you guys have been as a basketball program. Question for you. If the AAC invited VCU, along with maybe one or two other Atlantic 10 teams to join the conference would you guys see it as an upgrade to the Atlantic 10?

I think an AAC with VCU and perhaps Dayton plus Temple, Wichita State, Memphis, USF,... would be a great conference in basketball.

Honestly I think I'd see it as more lateral than anything else.  On our forums we talk a lot about wanting a Big East invite eventually.   I personally would love to see something in the form of combining something like the AAC and the A10 and having 2 conferences with a promotion/relegation type thing every year.  Completely impossible idea, but it would make the whole thing more fun.

Haha, it's always very confusing when Rams play each other and both teams have chants about Go Rams!.    Also, I come in peace, just to lurk mostly.   If anyone is interested in lurking on our boards it's pretty active and can be found at vcuramnation.com.
