When you watch athletes perform it is difficult to gauge how good they are because all of the players are so talented. So when someone like Eric Maynor takes over a game you must marvel at how quick and skilled he must be. He is able, it appears, to drive past talented opponents almost effortlessly. With 418 left he connected on a three from beyond NBA range. When it gets tight VCU gives him the ball and gets out of the way. Seven point VCU lead with not quite 4 minutes to play.

The lung behind me has beseeched the VCU coach to make a substitution for the last five minutes. Never mind that the coach is on the other side of the court and could not possibly hear even this human bullhorn over the din.
