That happened because they stopped shooting the 3 and insisted on paint points. Now maybe VCU took it away - Robbie never seemed to be open enough to shoot a 3

I get that but a win would have been infinitely better

My point is that instead of celebrating the loss as not a big deal we need to understand that the loss doesn't help us either

I know people think our loss to Stanford has not hurt us but had we won that game would have been a huge boon. Does the Committee give you points for losing a close game to a Quad 1? - may not hurt that much but it doesn't necessarily becomes a plus.

Hard to be wrong when I took both sides of the issue

I agree the refs clearly were favoring the home team at times. That play on Jones where he was mugged and the ball goes out of bounds but the refs did give us the ball. I really wanted the foul because it would have put Jones on the line and we needed to just score anything at the time.

Well the Committee will still see that we got a Quad 1 win at the time - then again they could say well it was not a Quad 1 win at the end. If they want to screw us they will find a way.

It will depend on how all the other teams do as well as VCU the rest of the season. Quad rankings can be a moving target

If you listen to his post-game interviews he is preaching defense and they rebounded much better in the second half against St. Joe this is how they were able to expand the lead to over 20 pts. The other point I would make is that at ISU he had 2/3 good players and a much weaker bench so those 2/3 guys played a lot of minutes. Here he has at least 5/6 players who can all score and defend. His bench is much stronger and they score in bunches. Yes, any night things can go south for you but overall this is a much better team than he had at ISU.

Not surprised but the Blues, Cardinals, and Missouri BB are not doing well so people want to back a winner. Football is over for Missouri so fans move on if the BB is not good.

BC plays football or maybe he doesn't know that

Well can you give them a break Gibson was here for an awful long time so you can see their confusion

Uhhhhh. Not what I heard.

Rick M did not want to schedule Duke - May told him it was buy game and the AD needed the money. That is why he played it.
