PORTLAND, OR – From the First Four to the Final Four – that was the story of the 2011 VCU Rams, who barely eked into the NCAA Tournament then made sure everyone knew they belonged.
First, the Rams downed USC in Dayton, then Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and finally Kansas on their way to Houston and the Final Four.
