Video: Dick Vitale Rips Selection Committee for VCU, Colorado Snub

March 14, 2011 by Larry Brown • Comments

Every year, no matter how large the field is, there will always be teams that complain about being left out. This time I have to agree with Dick Vitale who made the point that VCU has no business being in the NCAA tournament as an at-large selection. We included Colorado, Virginia Tech, and Harvard as our most notable snubs, and I have no doubt they were all much more deserving than VCU, and UAB for that matter.

VCU lost to Georgia State, South Florida, and Northeastern and was 23-11. UAB at least was the best team in C-USA during the regular season and lost to fairly respectable opponents. Still, VCU, are you kidding me?

Thanks to Awful Announcing for the video
