His wrist is hurt. 

We keep getting fouled before the shot & the shots drop.

Glad they won, but gave up a 19pt lead. I’ll take glass half full approach. A win is a win, especially on the road.

Excited about the win but extremely disappointed that we lost double digit leads in both halves. We have to learn to close teams out. This type of play cost us vs Duke.

Very questionable call against Kerwin Roach gives VCU 3 free throws. Horns lead is cut to 59-50 with 9:01 left.

You are too kind sir. That was a terrible call. Replay showed Roach swatted all air.

They didn't win a true road game all year last year so yea, a win on the road is big for this team.

Already at 6 wins when we only won 11 total last year.  Should have had the win over Duke as well.

We didn't have a road win last year, so this was big. And VCU had a lot of incentive to win this game.

Yep, that's why it was a huge win. I must admit their student body well played the Smart lookalike. I wonder if he took a picture with his double before or after the game? That was hilarious!
