***2010-2011 College Hoops Thread***

I'll admit, I was a big hater on VCU making the tourney, and I vocalized that on this thread. I'm also a Florida Gator. Man I wish we had pulled out that game in OT yesterday. Florida-VCU would have been really cool.

How's that LSU basketball program these days?

I dont cheer LSU basketball. Football yes basketball UNC since I was born and I went to Florida as you know so I dont want them to suck.

VCU! This is awesome. I've never seen this city or the campus come together like this before. Things are crazy down here

Loving the love in Richmond! Rams basketball has been completely insane. Go Rams! Knocking em out conference by conference.

I shit you not this post on jay bilias twitter an hour ago: "Final Four or out in 1st Round, Selection argument against VCU and UAB still the same. Neither w/ better credentials than CU, VT, UA, SM."

Effing let it go, lol


I agree he shouldn't bring it up again and again, but its true. That doesn't take away from what vcu has done. But based on credentials a Colorado or VT were more deserving. How can that be argued? Look at vcu's losses and their tourney play.

Also, its likely that those teams wouldn't have made it as far as vcu did but again doesn't mean they're less deserving based on rank. That's what ranking is.

I'm not a fan of basketball but you don't have to be a fan to have enjoyed the games over the weekend. After maybe a few to many I really got into the FL/Butler game cheering for Butler when they were down by maybe 12. I'm probably now hooked on the sweet 16 and will watch again next year.

I like college basketball a lot but not a huge basketball fan, football is my favorite sport by far. Outside of the CAA I don’t really keep up with many teams; ill watch VT when theyre on tv and ill watch Duke since their always on tv. But I think the most exciting thing in sports is the NCAA tournament by far. It surpasses playoffs and the Superbowl for me. You have seniors that are playing the last high level basketball game of their lives, freshman in transition to the NBA not used to losing, underclassmen who want to help their seniors dreams come true, first time NCAA tournament crashers, unbelievable upsets, multiple high intensity play/effort/hustle basketball games at once all day long, girls winning their office pools, experts eating crow, Cinderellas, and a stark difference in emotions on the 2 opposing sides of the court once the final horn is blown.

Obviously with the Rams winning this has been the most enjoyable and memorable tournament for me so far, but this is something I say each year to my friends. This is the best event in sports.

GO VCU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hes just an idiot. I think what the selection committee recognizes that he and many other people don’t is that the CAA has been a really good tough conference for the last 5 years+. USC and UAB probably shouldn’t have been invited over some of those teams but VCU can make a case for themselves just as much as the other teams on that list. Something I don’t really like is that the selection committee makes their picks based off of how a team has preformed over the entire season not just how it finished. VCU finished weak in the regular season, but overall our play all year long was pretty strong (sure we did do well in the CAA tournament). Just like how BYU didn’t finish as strong as they played prior to losing a key player but they still got a pretty high seed (probably deserved now in retrospect).

Should've bid on Butler. :)

Isnt that what I said
