Pick
I’m backing VCU here. I like this Fordham team, I think they have a ton of depth and maybe it’s looking like Kyle Neptune made a bad call bolting for Villanova with so much talent left in the cupboards here. However, this Fordham team is a lot stronger at home and on the road against arguably the best team in the conference in VCU, who has one of the best defensive units going right now, it makes it tough to back them, even getting a decent number of points. I’ll take VCU by double-digits in this one.
