Wow VCU, been there one time on a trip in 12th grade. Nice college in the heart of Richmond. Should be a hell of a game. I wonder what channel we will be on

I hope this is true, but what is your source, I can't seem to find it on the ESPN website.

This is a great game for the Danes!!!! Jeff Capel is a well-respected coach, who played at Duke in the late 90s and could probably get a higher D1 job any time now.

 

This squad went to the NCAAs in 2004 and NIT last year. I think we have our hands full with this matchup. VCU is 9-0 at home, tied for 2nd in the CAA and posted solid double-digit wins over Hofstra and Richmond as well as close road losses at Houston and UAB.

 

How far is Richmond from Albany by car?

About 10 hours....did it last year.

I hope we get one of the Friday night games, so we can better prepare to play Vermont the following Monday, which, IMO, is a much more important game.

You sure?

 

It looks more like 7.5 - 8 hours to me. How many hours south of Baltimore is it?

Do you have to pay for espn 360?

Add about 2 hours of beltway traffic to your time. About 5 1/2 to UMaryland on a non-traffic day....can another 2 to richmond. There are a couple of routes. You probably could make it in 8...but i was giving you worst case.

Actually, we won that game at Houston.

If you are driving to Richmond, try to avoid the DC area. It is brutal, and the traffic jams don't exist just at the rush hours.

 

US 301 is a good alternate sometimes, and it brings you back to I-95 near Fredericksburg. After that, it is not too bad to Richmond.

 

Other people may have more successful routes.

The official time and distance from UA to VCU is 7 hours 35 minutes and 493 miles accourding to AAA.com. It is 150 miles from UMBC. It took me a little more tham 5 hours to get to UMBC the last time I went there.

Also it has taken me as long as 3 hours to go 60 miles around DC. Last time I drove south I hit it at the wrong time and did not move more than 30 miles on hour for almost 3 hours for no reason other than volume. Here is hoping we get a Saturday game as opposed to a Friday night. If the game is Saturday I am there!!!

Pomeroy makes us a 10 point underdog against VCU.

That was fast work on Pomeroy's part. Usually the site updates only once a day.

 

I think I like being the underdog. I think the team works harder.

Sagarin's 'PURE POINTS' Predictor works out to just over 9 points.
