Normally always happy to see another 11 seed – especially a mid-major such as VCU – make the Sweet 16. But watching my Boilermakers totally explode upon themselves was just maddening. They totally let VCU play the type of game that they wanted – and it seemed like the Boilers totally forgot to play defense. It seemed that whatever shot that the Rams wanted – whether it be a lay-up or a three pointer – they could get a wide-open shot at will. Just not a custom to watching them not play with any defensive intensity.

Very happy for the Rams. And it is a tremendous day for the city ofRichmondto have both VCU andRichmondin the Sweet 16. But still not a good day for the Lunatic.
