JMU and VCU routed

JMU was just overmatched against Indiana.  Indiana is obviously better than JMU but it clearly wasn't JMU's best game.  We were down by as many as 30 points.  The only guy that looked like he was fighting was Nation who seemed like the only guy scoring for us.  Still, it was a good season and hopefully something to build off of.

Added VCU in here for JSR's sake.  After demolishing Akron they took their own beating against Michigan.  I like Shaka Smart and VCU and think he is doing a tremendous job over there.  Would be cool to have a VA school win it all.  VCU has certainly gotten better over the years starting with Capel and Smart seems to be taking them to the next level.  Moving to the A-10 helps them with recruiting and attention so hopefully they will continue to grow.

BTW - my bracket is BUSTED!  I am embarrassed at how bad it is.

Georgetowns loss was the biggest upset. That broke my bracket. Well on to next year except i dont know if Shaka Smart will be coaching VCU next year. Nice year for JMU also. All of the local teams are done. Im kind of going for Laranaga and Miami now.

Shaka had opportunities to move the last couple of seasons and he chose to stay. I think moving the A-10 definitely increases the likelihood of him staying. He has built a strong program that I feel can/will only get stronger if he stays.

The only reason I see him moving is if he gets an opportunity at a very large school that he has feelings for. It's similar to Larranaga and Miami. Larranaga had opportunities to bigger schools but turned them down. However, Miami was his dream job and he took it. I imagine Smart will stay unless his dream job opens up.
