6 steals!VCU gets the win as Ace returns and gets 13 points in 20 minutes.
Not sure what’s up with Hason Ward, but he didn’t play tonight after leaving early last game.
I've said that for 14 years and basically had my head bashed in for saying so. When one team does it, it's an anomaly. When it happens all the fucking time, look yourselves in the mirror.You aren’t going to find many more open perimeter shots than when you watch Bona’s opponents play. It isn’t bad luck or a friendly shooting arena. It’s shitty fucking defense.
Freshman Jayden Nunn scored 20 for the second time this year. Last night his shot chart looked great. He took 3s, he set himself up for easy mid-range jumpers and he attacked the glass. He looked comfortable off the ball playing with Ace. The team was missing two players but they played with more confidence. Ace gave them that confidence and the offense looked much better. Baldwin is such a damn good point guard. I missed him. He's back now!VCU gets the win as Ace returns and gets 13 points in 20 minutes.

Also, as a team, VCU shot 82% from the line, which might be their best of the season. And limited themselves to 13 turnovers, 6 coming from Vince. He had what was probably his worst game of the season. Assuming he shakes it off and comes back to form and hopefully Ward coming back soon, Ace can spark this offense to kick it up a notch.Freshman Jayden Nunn scored 20 for the second time this year.

They played tough D in the 2nd half holding Jax St to 22 points. VCU players were all over the 3 point line last night denying shots from a team that loves to shoot lots of them. Yeah, Vince still did things to help like rebounding and defending but his shot has been off. If anyone can shake off a bad game it is Vince. Ha! He will keep shooting. He shot 8 times and probably 6 of his 3s attempted were good looks. He just could not hit the ocean last night. Ace will get him good looks and when Ward comes back he will benefit from having Ace out there. Oh and Ace helped that free throw shooting. They have been shooting 61%. Ace was 6-6 last night and as a team they shot 83%.Also, as a team, VCU shot 82% from the line, which might be their best of the season. And limited themselves to 13 turnovers, 6 coming from Vince.

According to Torvik, the Rams have the #1 adjusted defense in the country but offense is 325. Just imagine this group with average offensive efficiency. T-Rank - Customizable College Basketball Tempo Free Stats - T-Rank
I believe this to be correct …. Grant is 0 for 3 in true OOC road games at UD. Now this was against ranked Auburn and Miss State teams and a good St. Mary’s team. He is 9 and 7 on neutral courts (6 and 6 vs P5 including the ranked Auburn and MSU teams plus at the time #2 Kansas, #2 Virginia and #4 Kansas) with last year’s Holiday tournament being a COVID casualtyOne of The Faithful posted on the Dayton Rivals board that last night‘s game at SMU was the first true road OOC the Flyers played since the game at Auburn on 12/8/2018.
I hope Paul’s head doesn’t explode
It sounds like like the same ref that UD had a couple of games ago. I thought she was good. No theatrics. She just made the callI have a story to tell…Last night VCU had a female referee. She was blonde with a ponytail and she was sexy. Anyway, in the second half a ref made what I deemed a bad call so I yelled, let the HOT REF make the calls! A lady in front of me turned around and said there is no need to objectify her. She is doing her job. I said, I am sorry. You are hot too. The lady smiled and said, thank you.
She is a smoke show! Oops! There I go again.It sounds like like the same ref that UD had a couple of games ago. I thought she was good. No theatrics. She just made the call
