"Maynor — is this the dagger?"As VCU guard Eric Maynor raised up at the free throw line to hit his famous game-winning jump shot in the Rams' 79-77 victory over Duke in the first round of the 2007 NCAA tournament, CBS commentator Kevin Harlan uttered his now-famous call to preempt one of the biggest shots in black and gold history. That's that sticks out in the minds of VCU fans as representative of Maynor's historic Rams playing career.
