3:58 to go. VCU up 29-18. Garland is shooting 3 after the break.
I usually don't kill announcers, and I like John Saunders, but it seems to me like Dan Dakich is kind of a knob, no?

Not that they've had much to cheer about but never good when commentators are talking about how quiet your student section is

It's incredible how many times Jerrell has come out and dominated the beginning of the game, only to disappear to the bench (with or without foul trouble) and then not get touches if he ever gets back into the game. We're doing our opponents such a favor. NPOA |

Dakich is right, the crowd needs to Turn Up!

Student section is intimidated by that one fat slob with the VCU headgear. Kinda sad.

Dakich is right, the crowd needs to Turn Up! Team did go 8 minutes without a basket, to be fair. |

Mills really being exposed in this game. I've never seen him struggling with the speed of a game like he is today

I'm having trouble containing myself, why is the ball in Garland's hands for half the possession while Duren just watches?

For as bad as things were in that half, we're not in such bad shape at the half.

Halftime.
VCU up 33-29.
Wow. We really closed the gap quick the last few minutes. I trhink I overuse the "They're lucky to only be down ____" cliche too often but it totally applies today.
Still, VCU shot pretty badly. We will need to play much better all around the next 20 minutes to pull it off.

Filter or not, I'll just leave this here: HOW THE F ARE WE ONLY DOWN 4! VCU letting us hang around time to let Duren take over

I am sitting with a VCU guy. Our hypothesis: La Salle is handling HAVOC but forcing shots (duh) letting them get out and run. He says VCU is shooting from deep better than they have all year. They also can't make FTs.
We make shots we win. TD3 time.

Key for us was the FT line (13-3 edge in FTA, which is the hazard of Havoc for the user)
Key for them was their opponent needlessly sitting the only guy they can't guard for 10+ minutes

Garland is looking to get VCU in foul trouble. terrible shots but if a couple were called correct it would have worked well. as coach d said a few of those flops went against him when the defender was obviously in motion.

VCU is overrated because if they weren't we would be losing by at least 15 points at this point. Duren, Garland and Mills are 2-16 and we are down by four what a joke. We will get thumped in the second half because Smart is a smart coach and he will continue to force us to shoot outside which is what every coach in America should do because in case they have not noticed we are a poor shooting team. I say come on down the Price is right along with Cleon and Johnnie.

We have also been much more balanced in our offense. If we can shut down either reddic or graham in the 2nd half i have a strange but good feeling about the outcome. 20 of their 33 pts from those two players. looking forward to seeing JW in the game again. Kudos to Ro in that half.

God-like at times VCU can certainly also look mortal. I love their total commitment to non stop disciplined defense.
And here we are only 4 down......
Hopefully we do not see a second half replay of the Nova game.
Against Nova we closed out the first half very nicely, then went to the locker room and seemingly never returned.
