Is there something missing with in this story? Crazy mis-matches? Injuries, suspensions, extenuating factors? ...or is VCU just overrated?

Nope, it's simple - UT sucks and is overrated according to some posters.

Not an explanation. It does nothing to explain how Toledo dominates a team that nearly beat a team ths t is pounding a team that beat Toledo.

Actually I thought both VCU and UT played extremely well against each other except for the final 3 minutes when UT let it get away from them. Likewise UT essentially ran Bucknell out of the gym tonight building up a 40 point lead until Coach K called off the dogs a bit.
So is not UT that is playing Jekyll and Hyde here----it may be Bucknell or VCU or perhaps even Villanova but you can't fault UT on this one.

VCU played UT on their home court. The VCU-Villanova game was at the Net's Barclay's Center in Brooklyn. Big dif not having that partisan home court advantage. There's no place like home.

What is says it that rankings and ratings are useless early in the season.

Like Jerry Reed sang:
"When you're hot, you're hot! And when you're not, you're not!!!!"
On any given weeknight.........

RE: Villanova Ripping VCU
We're talking about the same Villanova team that's ranked #12?
The same Villanova that won 29 games and were awarded with #2 seed in the tournament?
Maybe, just maybe, an extremely talented Villanova team caught VCU on an off night.

RE: Villanova Ripping VCU
In the absence of any player injuries or traumas I guess that the rationale of any or all three of the previous posts collective could help explain the apparent "discrepancy"---they all have merit. The ball does bounce up and down.
Note to "Mr. B."----to take your Jerry Reed theme a bit further, you might say "Villanova got the gold mine and VCU got the shaft".

Also Villanova has been a basketball power for quite some time while VCU is a relatively newbie to the scene.

You can't be overrated, if you are not rated.

Although after that stinker of a game against Detroit, I'm tempted to say it.
