Sunday’s Atlantic 10 championship game was hit with an unexpected interruption early in the second half. The game between Duquesne and VCU had to be stopped with 17:54 remaining in the second half when the celebratory confetti was accidentally …

VCU has become the darling of the NCAA Tournament this year, developing into this year’s Butler (which incidentally could also be said about this year’s Butler). Their head coach is Shaka Smart who has emerged as a leading candidate for …
