Though Will Wade won’t be leading NC State next season, I still expect Wolfpack to honor home-and-home with VCU and visit the Siegel Center, after talking with the esteemed @fleischman_noah 🐺🐏 NC State AD Boo Corrigan has master’s in education from VCU, is friends with Ed McLaughlin. Won’t be the same atmosphere as anticipated without Wade, but still a strong, rare non-conference opportunity for Rams with power four program visiting The Stu. @RTDSports
The statement!!! 🔥
"That's what he really loved about Benedictine and the Cadets, the loyalty, the bonds of brotherhood that are fostered, particularly in the military aspect of the school and through sports." richmond.com/sports/high-sc…
I actually disagree with this take. I think moving the tournament to different cities makes it a more interesting vacation for fans to book and also moves it around to spots closer (/an easier trip) to diff schools in different years. Keep switching it up.
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)
This makes it official! Tammi Reiss (@CoachReiss32), the new Head Coach at Florida (@GatorsWBK)!
Our guy. VCU's Martelli Jr. agrees to contract extension. 🗒️ shorturl.at/Gd8cr #LetsGoVCU
VCU pulled off one of the biggest comebacks in NCAA Tournament history overcoming a 19 point second half deficit to UNC. What did Phil Martelli Jr tell his guys in the huddle during the comeback? Coach joined @DustyDvoracek, @dannykanell & @timwelsh5 to discuss. @VCU_Hoops
If you want to know the essence of Phil Martelli & the entire Martelli family, just watch this clip. #LetsGoVCU
We are excited to welcome Dan Leibovitz to the Atlantic 10 as our next Commissioner! Dan, who has worked at the @BIGEAST @SEC and @American_Conf is steeped in A-10 history as a long-time assistant coach for John Chaney at Temple. Welcome back to the #A10Family Dan!

Interesting comment from #NCAA Tournament Selection Committee Chair and former Richmond (@SpiderAthletics) AD Keith Gill, who said "#VCU WOULD NOT have been made the field had they lost the A-10 Title game!" Conference get two in this year's tournament. @CBS6
Finally back to the 804 after weather delays but feels good putting this guy in his rightful place next to his brothers…and he’s got an awful lot of them! Grateful to all those that came before us @VCU_Hoops who built this incredible foundation we stand on today! #A10Champs
Winning the A10 tourney title in 3 out of 4 years AND with 3 different head coaches is absurd while winning 24 or more games all 4 years. Odom’s first team only won 24, the other 3 all won 27 or more and went 15-3 in conference play. Impressive continuity to say the least
Can NOT believe what Keith Gill (former UR Athletic Director) just said that VCU would NOT have gotten in without a win today - such complete BS but SLU got a 9? Beat us twice but resume NOT better So the A10 is only a 2 bid league because SLU got knocked out UNREAL
Arriving in Springfield shortly…can’t wait to celebrate w our fans!
