Richmond averages 11 more points per game than VCU. The Rams rank 325th in scoring at just 63.4 points per game. They also are one of the worst free throw shooting teams in the nation.

VCU's success comes from applying tremendous defensive pressure. Richmond, though, has a low turnover rate thanks to the steady hand of point guard Jacob Gilyard, who leads the Spiders in assists averaging 6.2 per game.

This also is a favorable spot for the Spiders as they catch VCU having just ended Davidson's 15-game win streak with a 70-68 road win this past Wednesday. The Rams host Dayton in a big matchup for their next game.

Richmond is on a good roll having won and covered its last three games.
