@WestPineBills Just pointing out that many areas would create an “advantage”. I’m cool with it being wherever because of VCU’s success in the tourney and our fans desire to travel regardless

@KellyGoRams No offense to Duquense, but if you think the relative advantage they gained two weekends ago is the same as what VCU would by the tournament being in Richmond, I’m not sure what to tell you.
English
Yeah let’s not do that. Would prefer that no school(s) gets an insane advantage in the A-10 tournament if a central site is chosen.

RICHMOND, VA YOU ARE THE NEW HOME OF THE ATLANTIC 10 TOURNAMENT! 😉🤣

@MatSheltonEide Looks like VCU should decide since we are regular participant in the finals!!
English
A-10 tourney title game attendance since VCU joined. DC was the perfect storm really with who made it. Also the last Boardwalk Hall (NJ) attendance number I could find was 5602 when UR played Dayton in 2011. I personally enjoy the current rotation.

Dan Leibovitz on the best location for the A10 Men's Basketball Tournament: "Frankly, I don't have that answer, but I do philosophically, believe wholeheartedly that it's to our advantage to plant a flag somewhere, and grow roots and make it a tradition. "If you think about coming from the Big East, you don't have to ask where the Big East is. You don't have to ask where the big 12 is Kansas City, the SEC is in Nashville, the valley is in St Louis. So I want to find that for us and I, and that's no disrespect to Bernadette. She's made the championship a tremendous event in big NBA buildings, etc, but I want to make sure we pause and make and figure out if that's the best thing for us." (1/2)

@District_Baller @_V_C_U_ Need Henrico to speed it up on the arena there!!

"There can be advantage to big markets. There can be advantage to small markets. When you think about college baseball, for example, when you say the word Omaha, immediately people know what you're talking about the College World Series. So it can be a bigger, small city, but I think we have to find our Omaha where everybody knows our fans, our players, our coaches, our stakeholders. They know what a great event it's going to be. I can't wait to book my tickets and get there." (2/2)

@KellyGoRams I think the quick 5 sec violation call was to makeup for missing lane violation
English
Rewatching the game finally - refs missed the lane violation by Veesaar in the last minute, the ball didn’t touch Jennings on the challenge and Trimble should have fouled out on the foul they gave to Stevenson in OT
Good thing it didn’t matter! 😆
English
Agree on the area!! The arena just needs to fix the concourse traffic flow to get around - of course Tracy didn’t have to deal with that part 😆

Thank You Greenville, that was a blast! You should be an NCAA Tournament site every year. Between the downtown, the parks, the restaurants, the arena and the people it’s the perfect place for basketball fans to come together. Hope to be back soon!

> VCU consistently dominates
> Dayton always the bridesmaid
> Peaks and valleys for #SLU, Davidson, St. Bonaventure, Rhode Island
> GW and La Salle stuck

Brandon Jennings might be the best guard defender in college basketball and you just saw part of the reason why. Incredible job denying the ball.

I guess now we know what the coaches’ kids prayed for after throwing coins in the fountain - an EPIC @VCU_Hoops win!

@UDFlyersUpdates Agreed - with this metric entered might have made a difference??
VCU’s WAB ranking would have put the clearly in? I know it’s not the only metric but supposedly a big part - although the committee is just going to do what it wants clearly
English
The fact VCU wasn’t going to make it without winning today is crazy. A10 needs to consider moving their tourney earlier in the week
English
@KellyGoRams @BelkReport Came here to say this. If WAB mattered, VCU and Miami would be safely in.
If it didn’t matter, Auburn wouldn’t be first four out.
Guess it’s like everything else, if it helps the Big Money Boyz, it matters; if it helps anyone else, it doesn’t.
Committee will never change
English
The committee fucking did the Dayton or VCU, can’t be both thing.
English
@ByPatForde @District_Baller Turns out it was always going to be 2 and at least VCU was one of them - earned what we wanted!!
