I have been watching VCU games for the past hour and a half. They're not Houston

Oh snap. Did Carnac just have his true identity outed?!

Yeah, don’t get cocky. It might make you miss a free throw we have to have!

BYU in March 2024 was playing at a bubble team level. Not an apt comparison.

Are you really trying to compare last year's team to this year's team?

VCU rates as an 8 or 9 seed, not an 11

According to some metrics, but what would be the excuse for downgrading them?

VCU is 7th in the Nation in blocked shots, 31st at turning opponents over, and #12 in offensive rebounding. Way stronger

I think we'll see that Young has a better handle on how to compete in tournament

against the #123 SOS. No doubt they're a good team but I like our chances.

So do you think VCU is better than Iowa St. defensively?

The line opened at 3.5 and people predicting 30 point blowouts lol

Aren't they in the same conference as Duquesne? Our physicality didn't give

🍎s to 🍊s. Lots of hand wringing on CB today. Unnecessary

And teams had mostly figured him out by the end of the season

This. He was not the same offensive weapon by season's end.

they built those defensive rankings on the back of a 123 SOS. We "should" win.

Whew! Now I can relax. Can't wait for the blowout!
