RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) -- Some hardcore VCU Rams fans pitched tents and camped out Friday night in hopes of scoring good seats for Saturday’s big game.

Fans nicknamed their camp Shakaville in honor of head coach Shaka Smart.

Saturday's game pits the Rams against the Butler Bulldogs, the same team that beat them in the 2011 Final Four. The game tips off at noon.

Coach Smart dropped by late Friday to deliver pizzas to fans waiting outside the Siegel Center.
