The VCU Rams are 17-8 this season and will put that record to the test when they take on the 16-9 UMass Minutemen in an Atlantic-10 showdown. VCU is 9-3 in the Atlantic-10 and are 4-0 in February. UMass is 7-6 in the Atlantic-10 and had their two game winning streak snapped last time out. VCU is putting up 72.4 points a game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 65.9 points a game. UMass is putting up 79.9 points a game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 72.2 points a game. As well as VCU has played on defense in conference games, their offense has been inconsistent. UMass has been one of the best offensive teams in the Atlantic-10 but struggles on the defensive end. The Rams are playing their best basketball of the season and UMass is coming off a bad loss to LaSalle. I like VCU to ride their defense and the offense will score enough to get the win.

Play on VCU. This is a 3% play.
