RTC Aftermath: CAA Quarterfinals
Posted by rtmsf on March 8th, 2009Ryan Kish liveblogged the ODU-Hofstra game today, although the Richmond Arena is having technical issues with their wifi access, so we’re not sure if we’ll get another chance to liveblog tomorrow. If things are working ok, we’ll havee the VCU-ODU game for you at 3pm EST.
Quarterfinals
- VCU 61 Georgia State 52. VCU got a little sloppy in this one but Eric Maynor did what he had to do to get the Rams the victory. ODU will be a difficult match up for them.
- Old Dominion 52, Hofstra 51. Gerald Lee had an MVP performance dropping 30, but Hofstra almost stole the show with the excellent play by Charles Jenkins. Watching Jenkins and Lee trade baskets at the end made this one fun to watch.
- George Mason 61, James Madison 53. Patriots again used a balance attack and excellent defense down the stretch to get this victory. JMU was a worthy opponent but the Patriots just seem like they wanted it more.
- Towson 58, Northeastern 54. Towson again pulls off the upset. The #11 seeded Tigers won only five conference games all season but have used great defense to make it this far in the tournament. Northeastern just was not on their game and may have taken the Tigers for granted. Tigers are confident and playing like they have nothing to lose because, well, they don’t.
Semifinals (Sunday)
- VCU vs. Old Dominion – 3pm
- George Mason vs. Towson – 5:30pm
