Look at the defense VCU played against George Mason; then look at Houston vs BYU

Remember when the Jazz traded Alexander Walker and several other good players

Hypnotoad

Just getting here. Are we mad? Happy? Scared? Slighted at seeds others got?

maxpowers

I'm scared, but that's mostly history talking and VCU's vaunted defense

Yes

We think we got a good draw and are cautiously optimistic about our chances.

VCU's coach is the same guy that led UMBC to their historic win over Virginia

ChubbyMoose

And he spurned USU for VCU.

Yes. He has been. Precautionary.

Tickets up to about a grand already. Good gravy we are a rich people

OU Cougar

A quick few thoughts on the matchup after having not read anything else beyond their stats:

RootieBoy Truly Addicted User

5:45pm

Demin's defense will be key I think

ABCoug

5:49pm

We need to beat them with coaching, depth and talent. Nine B12 wins in a row

Plantagenet

5:49pm

In fetching terrified of this matchup. They are 31 in net! Defense! 6 seniors!

Veep

5:45pm

Consider the level of competition. Put on your big boy pants

kansascougar

5:46pm

Consider Duquesne. Put on your panties

Veep

5:47pm

We are a better team this year and have far better coaching.

Q-grr

5:44pm

BYU lost to Duquesne because they came out with a completely different strategy

Nikomedes

5:44pm

60 second adjustments in each of the eight 4-minute sets.

Q-grr

5:46pm

The ONLY way BYU loses to VCU is if the refs don't let them play as physical on

SoCalCoug

5:43pm

I'd say the opposite is true. More worried about VCU playing physical.

KayakCoug

5:44pm

I didn't see it in the video posted below against George Mason.

SoCalCoug

5:45pm

A tightly called game favors byu. VCU is pretty physical on D

JoeExotic

5:44pm

BYU doesn't play all that physical..so, it should be all good

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

bluecougar1985

No, game times are rarely exactly on the hour in the NCAA tournament

VCU a much better 11 seed than Duquesne last year

Better coaching. Keba is an edge as is Richey.

Q-grr

BYU is also better.

BYU '80

They are not a good offensive team

BYU '80

Average offensively. Not bad. They have two guards that can score at will.

45% and 33% isn’t very good. Maybe average if counting all teams

Yeah, but are they Iowa State on Defense? Who ARE they like on D?

Who knows, they play in a weak conference

BYU '80

ESPN has them ranked #9 in defense...

Every team will try to "Go Houston" on us.

Plantagenet

Yeah, the real question is how close to "going Houston" can they actually DO!?!?

and whether the referees call the games like they do in B12 conference games

The reason Houston is so good is not that they play good defense but also shoot
