I saw some people outside dumping a few , mostly RMC donors that had reserved 4 and didn't use them all, but i have NO IDEA that there will be many tonite.....This is HUGE!! We talked to some students that told us last night after the game at McDonalds that they weren't even guaranteed seats....they were waiting on an email as well....which is a SHAME....They absolutely MADE that atmosphere last night!! I bet that any of them who want to get in WILL get in tho..

...just dont sit over there if you don't want to stand the whole game and jump up and down and SCREAM the whole time....

It's a pity that VWC and RMC have to play in the elite eight and are in the same bracket. I would have much preferred to see them meet in the final four or championship game. I have a great deal of respect for both coaches, players and their programs. They do it the right way. y_jack_lok, I would love to see you with egg all over your face, but Stevens Point looked pretty unstoppable last night. They may have more talent BUT when has that ever stopped the ODAC teams from finding a way to win? May the best team win and continue to win in Salem. Of course I want my Marlins to win but my disappointment will quickly turn me over to cheering RMC to victory in Salem. Let's hope for a great game tonight right down to the wire. GO Marlins, GO Jackets!!!

Well said FISHTANKFAN.....both teams DO do it right....and it will be a BATTLE....but after this one there will be disappointment....but no animosity from either team if they lose.There is alot of MUTUAL respect here....and i agree that its a shame we had to meet this way the 4th time...Good luck to your guys and ours too!

DITTO! You are so right!

I would love to see me with egg all over my face, too because I think it would mean that UWSP had a bad game and the ODAC winner would get an easier opponent in the final four. I don't know if UWSP has more talent, I only know what I saw last night and that was a team that looked extremely polished in every way. Having said all that, it would probably prove the strength of the ODAC if R-MC or VWC were to beat UWSP in the semis.

Hey-I was in the stands when they dismantled us last time.....I know how polished they are!! I just have a feeling that whomever emerges from this brawl tonite and SURVIVES will have enough MOXEY to take them the rest of the way!! UW-SP is on the TOP of the hill until someone knocks them off of it......i just feel this is the year....

DewayneCarter, are you heading up from the beach?

DonHo I've been in Richmond since the game yesterday so I'll be there! I'll post where I'm sitting on the boards when I get there if any one wants to say what's up lol

DeWayneCarter · March 14, 2015, 07:29:24 PM

In the VWC student section at the bottom row in the grey hoodie! Come say what's up!

donho · March 14, 2015, 09:01:24 PM

That ending sucks! VWC beats RMC by 2.

donho · March 14, 2015, 09:03:13 PM

Very hard fought game. Represent the ODAC well Marlins!

DeWayneCarter · March 14, 2015, 09:09:53 PM

Great game! Hell of an effort by RMC.... Great effort by both teams but proud my Marlins got the W! On to Salem!

FISHTANKFAN · March 14, 2015, 09:35:56 PM

Incredible game. All defense. It's a shame someone had to lose. Turnovers hurt. Congratulations to Randolph Macon on a spectacular season and their 25game win streak. Both teams are winners in my book. Good luck Marlins in Salem!

2RMCFans · March 14, 2015, 10:11:34 PM

Congratulations to the Marlins & good luck for the Final 4.

Turnovers (19) killed the Jackets tonight. However, they had a STELLAR season, breaking a number of records in a historic program. Congrats to #11 Lamont Moore on what may have been a career high scoring night for him (18 pts). We're excited to see him & the rest of the underclassmen return next year.

For the "great eight" seniors of R-MC-- all graduating in May & off to bigger & better things... you will never be forgotten. You will always have a home in Ashland, VA & we hope to see you often. Best wishes for your next steps. GO JACKETS!!!

Great game by both teams and the Marlins made one more play than we did! Excellent defensive effort by VWC on our shooters- EVERY shot contested. They kept our student section quiet until the 2nd half which was huge too! If you had asked me before the game who I would like to to take the last second shot with the game on the line it would've been Chris Hamilton..... Just didn't fall and we all felt for that kid- leaves it all on the court every game!! Great season for us and especially for our seniors but you gotta hand it to VWC- they took it when it counted last night!! Good luck to all you VWC PEOPLE !! I wanna hear yall on CBS next Saturday afternoon!! Great job by both teams- it's a shame SOMEONE had lose this one! And DeWayne- I was sitting right behind you up top and to the left a little- if I had read this during the game I woulda come and said hi!!
