VCU is off to a 1-0 start following an 84-65 win over Bellarmine.
But the night's highlight was easily Joe Bamisile's near back-to-back dunks in the second half and he gave us all a hilarious play-by-play of what was going through his mind during the plays.

Man, talk about emotion, and tears just pouring out. Talk about a situation worse than you can imagine, and a team galvanizing for a win.
ETSU head coach Tre Lamb, literally in tears talking about the Helene ordeal. Stuck in a homeless shelter parking lot. No cell service. Johnson City hit and the toll this has taken on the area the Bucs call home. Wow. 2:30 worth listening to.
The moment ✨
“I cannot thank you all enough. I hope you guys understand how much you mean to me. I hope you guys know that this trophy is nothing without y’all. We’ve been through the ringer – and we gon’ continue to go through the ringer – but one thing y’all don’t ever have to worry about is A’ja going anywhere.” — @_ajawilson22

I spoke to a transfer portal player who was at a D2 school. He earned 24 credits but didn’t touch the field. I asked him about the possibility of coming to play with us. He said he didn’t want to go backwards. I asked him how was going from a situation where he didn’t play to a situation where he’d have the potential to play every day was backwards. He didn’t have an answer.
Kids aren’t being given the right guidance on “opportunity.” If you want to play, go where they want you to play. If being a part of something is important to you, go where you get that opportunity! There’s so many available options! But what’s backwards is choosing to NOT play over choosing to PLAY
A piece from @dawnstaley’s incredible #ESPY24 speech accepting the Jimmy V Award. Plenty of gems in here, including acknowledging her team in attendance, but my personal favorite?
