That was a ridiculous game and I'm sure entertaining for all the neutral party observers who watched it. ESPNU must be ecstatic.
That was an amazing exhibition by the Shockers on how to handle our full court pressure. Your passes were crisp and timely out of the traps and you ran down the floor and made buckets all night when you needed them. At no point in the game did I really feel like we deserved to win. Your defense was excellent and you were the ones turning us over more often than not.
You really exposed us today and laid out the blueprint to beat us at our own game. I'm sure the rest of the A-10 took notes and will be using some of the things Gregg Marshall used today. He was masterful and I give him a ton of credit for the result tonight.
Many here were saying this would be a great learning experience for your young team, but I think it was your team who did some teaching tonight, at least I hope our guys learn from it or we will lose a lot more games like that this year.
I hope this will end up being a signature win for you and I think you certainly won the game much more than anything we did to lose it. Your team will be downright scary come March given what you just did in November. You all made Briante Weber look like a chump out there. Some guys we look to to really score (Brandenberg, Graham, Daniels etc.) were rendered completely irrelevant. That's a direct result of you forcing us to play half-court offense, something we still have no idea how to attack when there are plus athletes on the opposing team bearing down. Our guys looked confused, disoriented, and downright outmatched at times in the half-court offense. I give full credit to your defense and Gregg Marshall's game plan for that.
I'm certainly eating some humble pie and I bet the vast majority of our fan base is too. Really tough loss for us, at the same time, I think we all realized how great a game it was, and it was very entertaining to see.
Good luck to the Shockers going forward. I have no doubt you will have an excellent season, and I hope we rebound from this to have the season we're expecting as well. Great statement game for Gregg, the Shocker program, to VCU, the MVC, and the country that you all are building a program that will be making a lot of noise, regardless of who is wearing the uniform.
Congrats and good game again!
