Iso drive for Jackson. Grant fouls. 31.7 left. Made both.

They foul Grant at 24.8. Made front end! Timeout. 59-56.

Dear VCU. We just thought you’d like to have this game tonight so we are just giving it away to you. Love Davidson.

The best 2-5 team in the a10.

Grant misses the second. And fouls Shulga at 20.8
Make, make. 61-56.

Grant misses a 3, Hunter boards and is fouled. Make, make. 9.9 left. 61-58.

We got to 49 points (40-49) at 9:19 left. VCU really turned up the defensive pressure after that, ran smart offense, and made the critical free throws. Good finish by them.

Another atrocious loss in a season of atrocious losses. This team just flat out sucks.

63-58 final. VCU closes on a 23-9 run.

It's contagious.

Lots of close losses; still feel very good about this team. If a couple of our guys could put ever their 'A' games together, we would be a formidable opponent.
Maybe next week?

We made some really careless turnovers and our shot selection down the stretch was just awful.

A big disappointment. We didn't execute, didn't take care of the ball, got a bit timid. Way too many poor decisions. Sad. Especially when we looked so strong for the first part of the second half. Like we were two different teams wearing the same jerseys.

Just like last year, we are good enough to push better teams to the limit. We'll get some home A10 wins.

I disagree. We play hard. We have some talent. We defend better this year. We do some things well.

What we struggle to do is finish games. WE ARE 0-4 IN CLOSE GAMES SINCE LEAGUE PLAY BEGAN. At some point, you have to worry about confidence during crunch times. No one stepped up tonight to force the issue/take on the defense..

I do really despise how.VCU defends us - primarily because we never seem prepared to counter the aggressive overplaying.

Good chance we win with Skogman. He would have opened up our shooters with his game.

I think VCU was the best shooting team we played.
