Bones

St. Bonaventure at VCU tomorrow is on national TV. The game will be on CBSSN @ 200PM. CBSSN is channel 94 or 594 on Verizon Fios; DirecTV: channel 221; Dish: 158; Verizon Fios: 94. XFinity: 734.

VCU is 2-2 in the A-10 while Bonnies is 4-0. VCU has had the much tougher schedule.

When possible, I will try to do a Bones status on this thread,

Bones doing well.. But also doing well is Myles Cale at Seton Hall ranked 18 and just beat Bulter who is ranked 5 and Eric Ayala at Maryland they ranked 17.. Good year all 3 players and there teams..

You make a good point. I checked the box score of the Hall's game against Butler right after the game. I am not a basketball guy... I am unsure of their individual roles on their respective teams.

At the moment, Bones has shown a streakiness that has caught the A-10 by surprise. Best of luck to young Mr. Cale.

PS. I am an A-10 fan so that it is natural that I would follow VCU more closely. Glad to see Seton Hall's program start to generate some interest....same with Rutgers....

Voted A-10 Rookie of the Week

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

VCU & Bones at St. Joes tonight at 900PM. This will be on CBSSN after the Nova-Butler Game. CBSSN is channel 94 or 594 on Verizon Fios; DirecTV: channel 221; Dish: 158; XFinity: 734.

Bones comes in as 6th man and VCU goes on 9-0 run...getting past Bummy's bedtime. Good night all.

Solid minutes and defense... One 3 pointer....I have to see how many shots taken. If minutes stay above 20 he should have at least 10 points at La Salle on Saturday

Shot 1 for 11 in Philly last night.

Right you are, Yaz. Maybe that is the curse of being rookie of the week in the A-10 this week. Hit his first shot...and I went to bed after the 9-0 run.

He's a freshman and is going to have off nights. I thought he was a Colonial Conf. level player. I was wrong... He s a good fit for the A-10.

Here is the box score from the home game against Bonnies 4 nights ago that got him the rookie of the week accolade:

https://www.vcuathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2019-20/boxscores/20200118_ee06.xml?view=boxscore

(This was a home game that I think he started...5 for 6 from 3 ain't too shabby)

One game at a time. Back to Philly on Saturday to play at La Salle.

Sweet!!!!

Yeah, you can expect ups and downs as a Freshman. Very good game against the Bonnies, followed up by a dud vs St Joes. As he gets more experience at the college level, he's talented enough that the game-to-game consistency should come.

Hell, James Harden shot 1 for 17 from 3 point land the other night. It happens to the best of them.

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

It ought to be interesting how much time he gets against La Salle. My sense is that the Bonnies performance will be his best of the year. Similar thing for St. Joe's...it hopefully will be his worst game of the year.

The one thing I like about VCU's pressing style of play is that he should continue to get at least 20 minutes per game.

It is a long journey.

St George's sure misses him! 0-9. Yikes!

Bones had 15 against Richmond last night....strange night 5 for 6 from 3 point land. Only played 18 minutes. Bones is trending toward being the A-10 Rookie of the Year if he keeps this up.....OK, enough hero worship

VCU got beat @ Rhodey tonight. That's right the Rams beat the Rams.
Bones led VCU with 16 points. Box to be linked when available.

Dayton, VCU and Rhode Island are going to make some noise for the A-10 in the big dance.

Does Bones have dancing shoes?

Dayton is for real

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

Classic tweet by Dana O’Neill. Both teams are called the Rams. Confused me. Next one’s on me, Dana.

NPOA, Yaz.

I believe the Flyers are an Elite 8 team. Should be a 2 or 3 seed.

3 teams called the Rams in A-10. VCU, Rhode Island, and Fordham.

Those Rams can sneak up on you....

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

Bones on National TV (CBS Sports) today at 400PM as VCU visits Richmond. VCU beat Richmond 2 and half weeks back at VCU in a game that Bones scored 15 points.

It could be a tough one today for VCU. The Rams have been very inconsistent since that win. Richmond is a crosstown rival and will be tough to beat at home. Richmond is a slight betting favorite.

During this past week a mediocre George Mason team beat VCU by 5 at VCU. Bones had 2 3 pointers in the last couple of minutes to keep it close...but had some shooting struggles. He was 3-11 from the field with a total of 11 points.

Hope to get to watch some of this game today.

@Uncle Bumfuzzled, You forgot to add that Bones also had 4 assists, 4 steals & 1 block in those 22 mins of play that game in that loss to George Mason so he is beyond holding is own out there...Ijs.

 

[Hoopsdownstate5]

Richmond taking it to Bones and the boys..smh

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

J12,,,he has been holding his own but he is a freshman and like the team he has had some ups and downs. Richmond blew out VCU today. They got waxed by a team they handled a couple weeks back.

I think I overrated the VCU team in the beginning of the year. They are not as good as I had projected and unless they win the A-10 tournament they are going to the NIT or staying home. Bones with 3 points today....in a dreadful performance by the Rams.

Maybe they will finish strong.....

As you know I have been a Bones advocate all year. He is a freshman and his team has looked great at times and mediocre at times...

His best days are ahead,,,,

Agreed, I’m interesting in seeing how he does next year once those senior guards are gone.

Bones with 18 against Dayton a top 5 team in a losing effort....leading scorer in this home loss.
Bummy missed the game...thought it was tonight.

https://www.vcuathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2019-20/boxscores/20200218_81y3.xml?view=boxscore

OK, final thoughts on Bones for the year. The kid has had the best college freshman year of any DE HS player since Elena. He has been on national TV a lot. He should be A-10 rookie of the year.

He projects to be an all A-10 player in his JR year.

Bummy needs a break and plans to off depreps for 2 months. If I start posting before June put me on your ignore list..

He actually started last night. I don’t know if he has finally cracked the starting lineup for good but Senior guard Simms that usually starts & averages about 6 ppg came off the bench. Bones might be VCU’s best offensive option at the guard spot & seems to have the green light when he is out there...just gotta stay out of foul trouble when he’s on the floor.

Great player but has 0 chance at ROY. Tre Mitchell averages double his points.

Bummy is victimized by his irrational exuberance. I do think that Bones is a lock for the A-10 All Rookie team. That is great accomplishment in a 14 team mid major college conference.

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

VCU losses 5th conference game in a row last night at UMass. Now, 7-8 in conference. Looks like the wheels have come off...

Those Dayton Flyers are the best A-10 team in years.

They'll be in my final 4 when I fill out my bracket
