I think we’ll do it. Obviously plenty of Richmond area wahoos so you could probably do a decent amount of fundraising around it.

Tony did a couple rounds of VCU home and homes. Not saying we should play them every year, but maybe roughly half the years or so.

Folks are too zero-sum oriented. Cooperation is good!

I don’t know how much influence the overall athletic department has over this, but if we look at the football team, their scheduling has been skewing away from cupcakes I feel like (bad decision over there imo). With the non-con NC State, WVU (in Charlotte :face_with_monocle:), and Coastal Carolina (scheduled when they were a bit of a Go5 power), and Washington State, I feel like our target there has been solid but not amazing teams in our elective games. VCU would fit that model in basketball.

They added more capacity if you were not able to reserve a spot earlier.

I wonder if we get some Odom media hits from the final 4. That’d be cool. Field of 68 and the like.

Matt Painter : “we have benefitted from not being able to get elite players” :eyes: “My guy is going to be more coachable. My guy is going to stay here longer” does admit you “gotta have a couple studs” (but still points out his studs were undervalued kids out of HS).

Amazing perspective from the only coach ever to lose to a 16 seed and not win the championship the following year. Loser!
