VCU BACK IN ACTION TONIGHT, RICHMOND WINS

The VCU Rams will be back in action tonight against the Georgetown Hoyas tonight in the NCAA basketball tournament, the Rams will need to play a bit better than they did against USC but I think they will have a shot to win tonight.  The Richmond Sipders advanced to the 2nd round of the Tournament after beating Vanderbilt 69-66, meanwhile the ODU Monarchs lost at the buzzer to Butler 60-58.  Also in the NCAA tournament today George Mason will face Villanova and Hampton will face the North Carolina Tar Heels.  The Virginia baseball team will begin a big ACC series tonight against the Florida State Seminoles at home.  The Nascar Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series will be at Bristol this weekend for some white knuckle racing.  Well we weren't able to get on the filed again yesterday at the stadium, if they would just try to get the filed ready it sure would help.  The  field hasn't been touched since we played on it Tuesday.  MICKEY
