VCU +110 over RICHMOND

4:00 PM EST. Massive game that could end up determining which one of these two get an at-large bid. As it stands right now, both teams are on the bubble. Last night, we used KemPom’s rankings to determine that Davidson was better than the Bonnies and we’re going to use KenPom’s rankings again here to determine that VCU is the superior team. KenPom has the Spiders ranked 57th in the country while it has the Rams ranked 48th. The Rams have played a slightly more difficult schedule than Richmond and they have better wins and losses too. However, VCU lost to George Mason last time out and that has resonated in the market. With this showdown on deck, VCU got caught unfocused and paid the price.

VCU’s 17-7 record sounds like a bubble team but it's impressive that prior to losing to George Mason, VCU has not lost to a team worse than 56th in BPI, and every single loss came against a team either in the tournament or on the bubble in the latest Bracketology. This is a battle tested bunch that will play a Richmond team that is coming off three wins in succession against Fordham, GW and LaSalle. Give the Rams a psychological edge too, as they hosted Richmond on January 28th and destroyed them by 19 points. This is a big game for both squads and we’re going to trust the better and more experienced program in making it count when the chips are down. There is no chance that the Rams will take this opponent lightly.
