districtballer.. VCU has been playing div 1 sports for over 30
years and the University as a whole have been playing sports for
over 100 years.. Stony Brook is only playing div 1 sport for a
little over 10 years .. As you know, America east conference is
a beginners conference for div 1 schools in all sports .. In
Football, we just moved up in conference to the CAA from the Big
South , another begginers conference for Football. If i'm not
mistaken VCU competes in the CAA for all other sports??. Give
Stony Brook a few more years and they will without a shadow of a
doubt be dancing in March.. VCU could quite possibly beat us
tonight but if they do, it won't be a blowout!!!!! Give us time
to grow and when we do, look out !!!!!!!!!!

You should take my post in the context of the post I quoted that
was a blatant troll post by SaltySeawolf (he admitted as much on
our boards) in order to get discussion going on an otherwise
dormant thread. Mission accomplished.
Either way, your history has nothing to do with tonight and was
not the subject of my post. In the interest of accuracy (not
that any of that is really being emphasized in this thread), VCU
became a University in 1968, 11 years after Stony Brook. We've
had D1 athletics since the mid-70's. No, I don't count the
equivalent of club level sports at our precursor institutions
(Richmond Professional Institute and the Medical College of
Virginia) as qualifying as 100 years of 'playing sports'. VCU
plays all sports in the Atlantic 10 Conference, not the CAA.
My concern is not where Stony Brook is in their athletic
journey, it's tonight's game and that's the extent of it.
Everything in my post while harsh was completely true and I
wouldn't have been so blunt if the post I quoted wasn't so
inherently disrespectful and misinformed. VCU will very likely
beat Stony Brook as predicted by every statistical model out
there and the fact that Stony Brook has feasted on awful teams
while not having a good win to their name so far this season,
but that's why we play the game. I don't think anyone expects a
blowout, although it's certainly possible. Better teams than
Stony Brook have been blown out of the building (Brad Stevens
had the worst loss of his collegiate coaching career there last
season). There's a reason VCU has a top 15 national home court
winning percentage at the Siegel Center. We're 39-1 in our last
40 nonconference home contests, the lone loss being to Wichita
State last year who went to the Final Four, and that was by 2
points. An unlikely win puts you in elite company, that's for
sure.
For those who are travelling, be safe and enjoy the game.

Stony Brook will probably take the lead into the half, but can
they hold it in the second half.. That's been our achilles tenon
this season!!!

Coley and Jackson need to play complete games. They need to
shoot moderately well and they have to play intense and focused
for 40 minutes. It sometimes seems that they think they can
just play without any sense of urgency and it will be enough.
It isn't.

What I've noticed this year is the lack of leadership on the
floor. Our boys will start getting a little out of hand and no
one appears to take the charge and slow down the tempo ..
Something TB would always do.. Coley and Jackson should be the
boss with Mcallaster following suite but that does not appear to
be the case this year.... I see Warney being the Captain in year
3 ! This team has raw talent on this year, but a lack of
structure is holding us back.... This problem can be fixed in a
hurry with help from the coaching staff!

Feels weird not seeing Fiore do the halftime AD interview.
Assistant director did a good job though. But nothing like
Fiores hype...
36-35 halftime. We survived the first half, even though I saw a
lot of sloppiness. Let see what the brook has in store for the
second half
