Couple of observations:1) Not sure about this no-call against Wood you guys keep referring to, but if anybody happened to tape the game PLEASE review the blocked shot again that some of you are claiming was a goaltending. What is the basis of this goaltending claim? The ball wasn't in the "cylinder" nor was it on the way down. 2) Wood got away with a few things too in that game. He was pretty effective getting away with hooking the defensive player with his elbow when making his moves in the paint.3) The call you guys should really be upset about is the walking violation that wasn't called against Rodriguez when he called a time-out. I think THAT was a legitimate gripe on your part.4) After upsetting Duke last year, I find it hard to believe basketball fans in Ohio never heard of VCU. Even if this is true, I don't think mid-majors get many opportunities to get on ESPN. Drawing 4,100 has to be a bit disappointing. In our conference (the CAA) ODU drew 8,000+ for their bracketbuster game against Bucknell (who has a 200+ RPI) and the game wasn't even on ESPN. Last year we sold our gym out (7,500+) for our bracketbuster against Bradley.5) Obviously its a tough deal not having your best player at 100%, but also remember our leading shot blocker and rebounder from last year is injured and didn't play (Fameni) and our second leading scorer sprained his ankle Wednesday night prior to the Akron game. I look forward to our teams playing in Richmond next season, though from what I've heard Akron has a lot of seniors so next year's squad may be very young. Good luck the rest of the season and in your conference tournament.
