Without having the Zips to root for in the NCAA tournament, I'm returning to last year's form and cheering for Shaka Smart and VCU.

#12 seed VCU just finished upsetting #5 seed Wichita State, 62-59. Hate to see one good mid-major knocking off another in the first round. But at least the right team won.

LOL. Steve Lavin is talking out of his ass. He has absolutely no connections to Shaka to be able to make such a statement.

Shaka will be in Richmond next year as it stands.

Thanks for the support from Zips Nation! We're losing one player off this squad so we're hoping to be back and making even more noise next year.

Mike Thomas will be doing everything he can to change this.

I have a tendancy to think the longer Shaka thinks over the reported $2.5 million/year offer, the more likely he'll stay in Richmond for 2012-2013.

Perhaps FSU's Hamilton will be hired instead?

That's great to hear that Shaka is among those coaches who recognize the grass isn't necessarily greener elsewhere.

...even when he can make twice as much in that elsewhere place! I hope the Rams fans appreciate what they have. Not you District Baller, I mean the casual bandwagon fans.
