Hoping somehow we can all start using this more. Problem is there just hasn’t been enough chatter over here. Still so many folks and official accounts over there that don’t mess with this app yet

There are just two A-10 teams currently top-2 in both offensive and defensive efficiency in A-10 play: VCU and…. St. Joe’s. 5 of Hawks 6 conference losses were on the road (SLU, DUQ in OT, Dayton, Loyola & Mason), the other L being home to VCU. They are a DANGEROUS team to have to play in DC.

The “news” section on Twitter …just a circle jerk for Trump and his oligarchs spitting out propaganda. Need more people over here chatting STAT…

VCU hot or due tracker (consecutive games above or below 100 offensive rating) Hot (above 100): Russell (6), Jackson (5), Shulga (4), Clark (4), Fermin (4) Due (below 100): Bamisile (2), Bamgboye (1) All other players w/o qualifying minutes in consecutive games

VCU v UMass today in a sold out game that may not see sold out attendance via the snow, but we will see. UMass strengths: offensive rebounding, 3-point defense UMass weaknesses: shooting, fouling. Kenpom has VCU by 17

BlueSky needs this video of JC Smooth after his big game last night…

Where stats meet guts: VCU shot 21% from three. Turned it over 14 times. Dayton made 23-25 from the line. On the road. Found a way.

Anyone have any updates on the Henrico Green City plan? But in particular, the arena?

I like Bones’ path to playing time much better in ATL than his last stop.

Luke’s gold shoes look sharp with the gold uniforms

That road contest against SLU is gonna be TOUGH. Win it though and the Rams would be 7-1 in A-10 play with home games against La Salle and Richmond on deck.

The wildest Ram Nation TBT jersey I ever came up with. Puma ended up putting this yellow texture stuff all over them, but still thought they were a fun concept.

Re-skeet(?) if you were around to experience this place with VCU fans… almost feels like it was a dream now…

My top-3 drunken night locations during A-10 tourney, in order: 1) Karaoke dance party at Union Hall 2) KBH, year-1 3) First time at Lucky 13

VCU margin of defeat in their 4 losses: v Seton Hall: 3 (OT) v Nevada: 3 at New Mexico: 7 at Bona 2 It feels like VCU can be inconsistent sometimes from quarter to quarter, but from game to game, so far they appear to be a very consistent team. HUGE game Fri. v Bona (also my bday, so a must-win)

Sometimes you just have to stop and see the programs that are ranked around VCU. A lot of history and large budgets pulling similar results to the Rams.

I despise winter. These temps are brutal. I have no clue how people can live in colder regions than we have in VA.

Bumping this. Add a big win at Rhode Island. You collect enough road wins against top teams, you earn hardware…

Big local soccer news hitting soon…

Mason v GW tomorrow is oddly intriguing this year.

You win a league by beating contenders on the road. VCU doing that at St. Joe’s and Loyola is extremely helpful there.

Is BIG Jack Clark even stoppable?

Vikings look soooo bad right now

have fun making any sense out of the A10 this year everyone

Jack Clark average offensive rating comparison at VCU… When shooting more 2s than 3s: 132.2 When shooting more 3s than 2s: 84 Ya feel me? Good news is the last 2 games he’s shot twice as many twos (8) as threes. His true shooting % is 63.8% in those games versus 48.5% season

If Danny Avula doesn’t fire April Bingham after this, he can go ahead and step down already himself.

Ran into Max Shulga at Wawa after the game, which is how I know he’s a real one.

Wild scene here at the Stu…

VCU a 19-point kenpom fav. Up just 1 right before the half.

Playing awwwwful right now. This Fordham team is bad, need to find some offense next half

Greatly underestimated the value of being able to wash dishes prior to this water situation.

Gonna drive my ass out to Chesterfield to try and experience life with water again.

Way less mid second half. Bravo.

Another insanely mid performance so far from VCU. Bleh
