Not sure if the Liveblog continues today. Big Big game today. Advancing the program, or treading water. And of course we get the only 5 seed to survive, so match-ups don't come closer than this. Rest of the bracket doesn't look like world beaters if we win today. One down, five to go. Go Blue!

Avoid the long passes, I watched the video posted earlier -- VCU seems to rely on long passes down the court and manages to get the ball even if the guy we'd be passing to is open.

Get ball to Burke or Tim and clear out. VCU can't press us then because of our shooters and GR3 ability to get to rim in the open floor.

We crack down on the team and play some tough defense and avoid the wide open looks, we can slow them down enough to out score them. Because they're having a hard time stopping us. Keep making the extra pass to take it to the hole, Halftime adjustments could be big too.

but we can't pull away early. McGary needs to stay home and stay on his feet more and we should be okay.
