Trends
Dayton is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 8-2 in their last 10 games overall. VCU is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 9-4 in their last 13 games overall.
Pick
I’m leaning towards the under here. This game could honestly go either way and I think the line clearly reflects that but the constant between these two teams has been low-scoring and tight games and with the conference championship hanging in the balance in the rubber match, I have to go with the under in another low-scoring, close affair.
