It’d be impossible for Gregg Marshall to forget the rivalry he’s had with Virginia Commonwealth.
Wichita State and VCU will meet for the fifth time in the programs’ history on Saturday, it’s the fourth meeting under Marshall’s leadership. The teams will begin a home-and-away agreement starting at VCU.
Games against VCU have mattered, Marshall has learned. And for that reason, it’s hard for him to forget a particular moment that defined the rivalry.
Flashback to 2011. WSU hosted VCU as part of a Bracket Busters tournament in early February. Each team was looking for a marquee win to enter their bid for an at-large to the NCAA Tournament.
