Intentional elbow thrown?

Come on. He leaned his shoulder into him. It was clearly an offensive foul, but let's not get carried away with ourselves.

Yeah, that was kind of nuts.

I didn't realize Wrestlemania was also at the Sprint Center tonight. Was that the Morgan State Mauler?

SI

Oh, that move by Aboya was sweet.

Jrue Holiday is the worst 2G in the nation at layups

We've reached that moment now where VCU gets their last chance to ebb and flow back into the game

SI

Blake Griffin has taken a beating both within and outside of the rules this season

Has Jeff Capel exploded over this as yet this season?

Capel is a relatively mild mannered guy, so I doubt he has publicly.

The problem is that for as much as Maynor is a very good player, he's not that much of a 3 pt shooter. In fact, they really don't have a pure shooter on this team - so that could hurt.

(as they hit two in a row)

Son of a...

holy crap, 3 point game

well damn, go VCU!

They start to catch up then the PG takes a bad shot 10 seconds into the possession.

Is that 3 or 4 for Sanders?

Well, here we go. At the very least, VCU should try to foul out Collison on their next possession, so that UCLA doesn't have his FT shooting in what could become a foulfest.

If they could get that 5th foul on collison...

Yuck, what was that? I hate to dog on VCU but how about a shot of UCLA's cheerleaders instead?

just FWIW, UCLA shoots fouls very well...Aboya is the worst at 67%...but the rest are really good and Collison is awesome.

wth was that. The ref missed a huge called underneath.

VCU isn't exactly heavy on eye candy being in the beautiful metropolis of Richmond.

Well, if nothing else I think I was right that VCU is plenty good enough to make a game of it with UCLA. Clearly not a blowout and they've played great overall in the 2nd half. Unfortunate that they didn't wake up until the 2nd half though.

I understand but it was almost like CBS feels guilty about showing the beutiful cheerleaders from UCLA too much and chooses two nasty whores in bikinis to show to make up for it. There are probably some really cute VCU chicks somewhere else in the crowd but they chose those two.

Good point ;).

Block shotting.

Maynor is VERY lucky he didn't pick up the foul on that inbounds.

Clearly, they're great at articumulating their wordisms ;)

SI

Clutch...

The missed free throws for VCU are the story of the game right now to me. Especially when it's the front ends of 1 and 1's.

Boy, Illinois just sucks.. of course it didn't help to lose Frazier.

Smart by Maynor. You don't have to foul now you'd think, right?

Definitely not IMO.

Big Ten blows

It's Maynor time.

dola, but you better rebound.

What the hell DC?

Wow.

Huuuuuuuuuuuge block by Sanders! Wow! VCU ball with 12 seconds left with a chance to win!

Let's hope.

Sanders has given him the opportunity. Now he needs to take it.

Sanders has shown why people are talking NBA with him.

He has a lot of work to do on the offensive side, but defensively he can really be a force at times.

I think Ben Howland is going to need to do a "double pits to chesty" after this game.

I gotta think Maynor gets doubled here which means somebody will be open but they are gonna make somebody else make a shot here.

Based on what I've seen of VCU Maynor will force a shot even if he's doubled.

Told you.

Couldnt guard him better then that


GG Wade

Looked like a backcour tviolation in hindsight

Collison ate Maynor alive on that play. UCLA survives..I'm calling a win over Villanova.

Man, Maynor just never got a good look. Good D those last 12 seconds

SI

It doesn't matter because he missed but it looked like Maynor traveled on the last possesion

Yup.

I think VCU showed why they were the sexy pick for an upset - but UCLA made it happen tonight.

Maynor needed to do a spin move once he got to the left side of the lane, there was no one behind him and he would've had an open 15 footer.
