Virginia gets a question about VCU she can’t handle and Governor makes a fast break.

About to head out to the bars, not gonna lie folks, I’m a little nervous, might be that I’ll be surrounded by Ram fans. I know we can win but will we show up, I think so, however we know how that goes

Take what defense gives you. Don't force up 3 pointers unless it's open. Go through the paint and REBOUND.

So long as Bam keeps his cool in the first minute of the game, we will be fine.

The second half against Penn got me thinking again. Now we need to win by 20+ so I can start hoping again.
Hoping for a Final Four, that is.
