You watch this VCU team, and I think how incredible it was that we beat them in their building. Better than the Butler win, in my opinion.

I thought this game was supposed to be CBS? Oh well. Watching Xavier Butler on CBSSN instead, and it's a close one.

VCU looked like they were about to run away with it, up I think 16 or maybe even 18 at one point.
Temple dominated the last few minutes of the half. Finished on an 11-0 run.
VCU leads 41-36 at Halftime.

CBS Halftime guy did not have us in his last 5 in, or last 5 out. Not sure what to make of that.

The scroll on bottom of screen listed RPI and we were #41 just behind Illinois. So we are in presently.

VCU really needs to win this game. 2nd Half about to start.

VCU fouling crazily in the last few mins. Two in the first minute of the half. This is feeling like a temple runaway win.

I don't know about a runaway, but yeah, it's not looking good right now.

Temple is up 5. They're on something like a 27-6 run since the 1st half.

This is terrible. VCU is essentially turning it over on every possession.

Cannot believe how much VCU folded the last 22 minutes of this game.
In addition to probably having to beat Butler, we'll also play at 2:30 next Friday. Means I probably won't be able to be there.

Temple and Nova get wins that they need and La Salke doesn't.
Same at it ever was.
Absolutely sucks.

Yeah, there's no way to spin this VCU-Temple outcome as anything but terrible for us.
We play in the afternoon now.
We will likely have to play Butler, or even a tough Dayton team if need be.
Temple gets a big win, essentially assuring them a bid. So we're 5th in the A-10 pecking order now.

The 9:00 start is really all I wanted (and I live in Brooklyn!). Sucks to have that taken away. Oh well, see you all at 2:30.

I wanted the evening start as well. That alone pisses me off, let alone when you factor in the whole opponent thing.

50-20 run for Temple right now I believe.

VCU didn't have anything to play for in this game. They were the #2 seed in the a10 tournament regardless and solidly in the ncaa tournament.
Call me a pessimist, but I think La Salle is NIT bound. I do not think they will be able to beat Butler again. I hope the Explorers prove me wrong.

I'm with you guys on this, but it should at least be mentioned that Butler has to beat Dayton Thursday.

God with butler having their best player back and with a warm up game against Dayton under their belts.. |

This loss for VCU is worse than our loss yesterday when you look at St. Louis being better than Temple and VCU is at full strength. Outscored by 30 points after leading by 16, unbelievable, although I did pick the Owls to win. No matter how you slice it homecourt is a huge advantage.

Question, does anyone think they want La Salle in even if the numbers are in the Explos favor.
