VCU went a sketchy 3-4 to start the year, but then hit their stride on a seven-game win streak in December/January. After two more losses to St. Bonaventure and Davidson, the Rams bounced back with a win over Saint Joseph’s in their last game. 

In Saturday’s matchup versus Saint Joseph’s, the Rams were down by one point at the break. VCU stormed back on a 46-29 run from there in a nice 70-54 victory. Tops in scoring for the Rams was Vince Williams with 21 points and seven rebounds. 

Over on the Davidson side, they lost two of their first three games to San Francisco and New Mexico State. The Wildcats have been on a 15-game win streak since then. They’ve beaten Richmond, VCU and Fordham in the last trio. 

Back on Saturday against Fordham, the Wildcats posted just 24 points in the first half and trailed by six. Davidson went on a 45-35 run from there to steal a 69-66 comeback win. Luka Brajkovic topped the team on 21 points, and Sam Mennenga doubled with 16 points and 11 boards. 

The Wildcats are 1-6 ATS in the last seven Wednesday games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 after an ATS loss. Davidson is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 overall. 

Meanwhile, the Rams are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games and 6-0 ATS in their last six Wednesday games. VCU is 7-2 ATS in their last nine overall. 

PICK: I’m going to take a stab on VCU here. The last time these teams met up, Davidson eked by with a 63-61 victory. VCU shot pretty well in that one (45.3 percent) with 18 team assists and just seven turnovers. The Rams were outpaced on the boards 32-20 however, and that was the key statistic in the game. Davidson has been playing with fire over their last three games, winning each by three points or fewer. I think VCU can get in there on a cover. Should be another great matchup.
