cameroncrazie07 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 VCU knocked off every power conference except the SEC on there way to Houston.While that's true, Kansas was the only impressive win of the bunch.I would still call them over Georgetown and Purdue and impressive win.

Lights Out Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Purdue? Maybe. Georgetown? Absolutely not.UNC is in some serious foul trouble right now and Kentucky is looking impressive. I'm not so sure UNC can come back. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameroncrazie07 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Purdue? Maybe. Georgetown? Absolutely not.That's what I meant, you guys can't possibly think that a domination of Purdue is not impressive. I agree beating Georgetown without their best player probably wasn't that impressive but still, most of America had them losing that game.

AnythingChicago Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 VCU knocked off every power conference except the SEC on there way to Houston.And they could knock off an SEC team if they beat Kentucky in the national championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I can say I am one happy fan for my alma mater. VCU has basically silenced all those that said they shouldn't even be in. I can't wait to see the game against Butler. That is gonna be a great game.Nope. You can still say they shouldn't have been in because based on their resume there were others who deserved it more. And who's to say they wouldn't have done the same if they had been given their due chance. Now I'm happy for them especially beating KU, but they got a chance that should've gone to others. They got lucky in getting a spot and are taking full advantage of it. Great for them. It's been awesome to watch. But it doesn't change anything about the initial picks.If you can't crack the top 5 in the Big XII, or need the rest of your division to blow to get an attractive record, maybe you really don't deserve a spot either.

Cujo Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Kentucky has pretty much owned this game, but can't finish off the Heels. Carolina only down 2 with five to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydnimrod Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 A note from the VCU-Kansas game. While I was really rooting for VCU, I now have a respect for Bill Self and his Jayhawks. The way both teams were continuously helping the opposing players off the floor leads me to believe that both of those coaches/teams are class acts. I wish there were more teams like that in all sports. Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mizzou had been left out I'd probably understand. But Colorado, MSU and others probably should've been in before VCU.

omnivore Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I feel like Butler is going to finish the job they didn't finish last season. That's what I think we'll see.

Still MIGHTY Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I seriously want to know how the hell you pick that bracket to make that Final Four and only miss 11 games on the way to that. That's just stupid.Huzzah for Butler.Huzzah for VCU.Kind of a shame that the two of them have to play each other, but at least this Final Four has a different spice to it that most. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
