VCU band used Miley Cyrus cat from AMAs to distract George Mason

VCU George Mason Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus apparently is pretty useful in a sports setting.

Remember in November when a Belmont fan sang “Wrecking Ball” when North Carolina’s James Michael McAdoo was at the free throw line and caused him to brick? Well Virginia Commonwealth’s band took that a step further.

The VCU band broke out a cutout/poster of the cat that was part of Miley’s act at the AMAs in November for the team’s game against George Mason on Thursday. In case you missed it, when Miley performed “Wrecking Ball” at the American Music Awards, there was a cat that sang with her:

That cat should look familiar, because it’s the exact same one the band used. They also reportedly kept making “meow” sounds when the Patriots were at the line and played “Wrecking Ball.” You can see a video below:

George Mason lost 71-57 to VCU and went 9-of-16 (56 percent) from the free throw line. They usually make 69 percent of their free throws. It has to be the Miley effect.
