Congrats to VCU!

I'm sure JSR is thrilled at the victory yesterday. Being a school from my school's conference (CAA), I am pulling for them. A tip for anyone that fills out a bracket, ALWAYS pick the CAA team in at leas the first round.

Frankly, given the success of the CAA over the years, it's surprising that only one school was picked for the tourney this year. Both VCU and GMU have made the Final Four in recent years and the CAA teams always fair well in the tourney. Drexel was 28-6. Mason was 24-9. I'm not saying all of these teams should have gotten in but the CAA has always played well in the tourney and to only get one team in there this season still shows that the CAA doesn't get the respect it deserves.

GO VCU!!!

VCU! They have played well in the NCAA tournament the last few times theyve been in it. A couple of years ago, they knocked off Duke in the first round and then almost beat Wake Forest two days later. Of course the Final Four run last year was special. Hopefully Shaka Smart can keep the tournament wins coming and hopefully he stays there to build the program. He does seem to be coaching at his best during the tournaments. Itll be a tough one tomorrow though facing Indiana but we'll see what happens. Id love to have another week of speculating would could be.

Go Rams!
