Boston College vs VCU Prediction 11-8-24 College Basketball Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Boston College vs VCU Prediction for this college basketball game on Friday, November 8th, at the Navy Alumni Hall. 

Boston College Tested in First Game

Boston College faced off against The Citadel in the first game and they were able to secure the 69-60 victory. At the end of the first half, Boston College was up 37-28 but they coudln’t pull away anymore and they ended up winning 69-60. As a team they shot 39.8 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from behind the three point line. 

They allowed the Citadel to shoot only 12.5 percent from the deep and they are going to need the defense to be good from deep. Donald Hand Jr was the top player putting up 22 points and 10 rebounds. There were three different players that put up at least 11 points. They scored 69 points, but they needed the offense to be better.

VCU Dominated First Game

VCU in the first game faced off Bellarmine and they were able to dominate the game. At the end of the first half they were up 45-38 and they ended up cruising to the victory. In the second half the defense was even more impressive givnig up only 29 points and that was enough for the easy victory. Guard Max Schulga had a strong game putting up 19 points, five rebounds, and five assists. There were four different players that put up at least 11 points. The offense was good but even more impressive was the defense and they are going to need the defense to be good here. 

Why VCU Will Beat Boston College

• VCU has won four of its last five games played at neutral venues.
• Boston College has lost the first half in three of its last four games against the Atlantic 10 Conference at neutral venues.

Boston College vs VCU Prediction 

VCU and Boston College are going to be involved in a lower scoring game here. Boston College’s offense faced off against a terrible Citadel defense and they only managed 69 points. VCU’s defnese really stepped in the first game and their defense is going to make another statement in this game. I do expect Boston College’s defense will have a little more resistance in this game though and VCU isn’t going to run up the score here. This game is going to be lower scoring and the under is going to cash.
