28 points, 11 rebounds
VCU would not go away at the end of the game. ODU got up by 8, but VCU kept hitting 3’s. ODU went 12-13 from the FT line on OT to seal it. That was clutch.
We should be in a brand new conference with both ODU and VCU.
Interesting reading Pat Forde’s take on the CAA final. If just given snipets, then you might think he was writing about the Niners…
[b]Standing beneath his own basket, the kid from Australia made eye contact with the kid from Charlotte and mouthed a two-word message halfway across the court.[/b]
Then I realized he couldn’t be writing about the Niners…
[b]...who showed America that Andrew Bogut is not the only Aussie big man worth watching this March.[/b]
And finally, I knew it definitely wasn’t the Niners…
[b]Last year he blossomed into a star, dropping 45 points on Charlotte and averaging 16.6 points and 8.7 rebounds.[/b]
