Great first A10 road win for VCU against the Bonnies. Love how tough it is to get victories in this league. Don't care how the refs call the games, it should be difficult to win games on the road. It will only make teams better come tourney time. Really wish this league would stay together for the long haul. Most of the teams in this league are trying to better their programs, something that was not the case in the caa.

Congrats on the win, Vcufan. Wish I could have seen the game today.

Bonnies kept fighting to the end. We hit some tough shots along the way or we might not have pulled that one out. Great to see the students going crazy the whole game. Really looking forward to watching all the road games this year. We played in a lot of dead arenas in the caa and hoping the crowds are crazy in all the A10 arenas.

Bona84

Good to hear that they kept fighting to the end. The team was completely out-of-sync the previous 4 games. Good luck the rest of the way.
