Interesting reporting of "facts" in the article. The newspaper states that we lost to VCU last year by a score of 80-74. Our website posts a 70-67 loss. I seem to remember the latter score. Already a sign of disrespect for us by them?

The paper may have got it wrong. I have to say by checking out their message board on the CAA site they have been pretty complimentary to us. I can only imagine how full of ourselves we would be if we had just blown out a Conference USA team like they just did.

The local paper down there doesn't even know the final score of last years game. You guys think they are taking us seriously?

I'm very afraid of this game. I believe they are better this year than last. I thought a coaching change might help us out this year, in addition to the home court advantage. The new coach, who knows us well from early last year, may be the biggest ingredient to their unexpected level of success this year. Revenge might be an important factor for us in tonight's match after last year's close loss, but it could be even more important to them as they might have felt somewhat embarrassed by our performance on their court.

Their new coach didn't have the chance to see Lillis, a developed Siggers, or Gifford (assuming he plays.) Or course, likewise, UAlbany did not have the opportunity to see certain things on the VCU team.

I am hoping that will make some sort of difference, but tonight's VCU game looks to be very tough.
