Game 24: Richmond, Saturday, February 14th, 4 PM, MASN

[MasonFanatic]

I don't think the weather had a significant affect on the turnout (I blame our shitty record and Valentine's Day), but I've never seen more bizarre conditions than after the game yesterday. It went from flurries on the way out of the Patriot Center to near-Blizzard conditions by the time we hit the Fairfax County Parkway going north.

The temperature dropped from 32 degrees to 28 in that span, and the road was covered with snow within minutes. All of the street lights went out on the Parkway, and you literally couldn't see the lines on the road or 10 feet in from of your car. Very scary, to say the least.

I cleared the parkway while the lights were still working. I guess I should be thankful. It was bad enough with working streetlights!

Yeah, it was really strange, because the street lights all went out but the traffic lights fortunately kept working.

I just want vcu to lose and Miami to win. That's what the season has turned in to for me.

I don't quite understand KenPom's list -- are we the best 8-win team in the country (of all the crappy teams who have 8 wins so far this season, we are the best of the crap pile)? Is that what it means?
