PICK: I’m going to stick with VCU. The Rams haven’t exactly been lighting it up on the scoreboards lately, but they’ve been getting the job done on defense over this current 7-1 stretch. Davidson notched just 111 combined points in the two St. Bonaventure games, and if they’re not totally on point when it comes to scoring here I think VCU will take the cover.
