A few interesting things from Texas Taps’ link:
"Havoc" was a hit with the VCU fan base. The Rams concluded the 2014-15 season with a streak of 66 consecutive sellouts at the Verizon Wireless Arena at the Stuart C. Siegel Center. That is the fifth-longest active streak in the nation, trailing only Duke, Kansas, Michigan State and Gonzaga.
In the classroom, all 12 seniors during the first five seasons under Smart graduated with at least a bachelor's degree. Three of the 12 went on to earn a master's degree. In addition, all three seniors on the 2014-15 VCU roster (Treveon Graham, Jarred Guest and Briante Weber) are on pace to earn their bachelor's degrees later this spring.
Smart's tenure in VCU will be forever linked to the magical 2010-11 season, which saw the Rams advance to the NCAA Final Four for the first time in school history. [...] the Rams registered five consecutive upsets in what many experts called the greatest run to the Final Four in tourney history. Along the way, VCU defeated "Power 5" schools USC (59-46), Georgetown (74-56), Purdue (94-76), Florida State (72-71 OT) and Kansas (71-61). The Rams' victory against Kansas, the No. 1 seed in the Southwest Region, was voted the "Best Upset" of 2011 at ESPN's annual ESPY Awards.
