(NCAAB) Pirates (HALL) vs. Rams (VCU),
Point Spread: -6.50 | -108.00 Rams (VCU) (Home)
Result: Loss
Seton Hall's defense deserves respect, but VCU (70th in offensive efficiency, per KenPom) is well-equipped to take advantage with four double-digit scorers and a veteran presence in the backcourt with Max Shulga (13.0 PPG, 7.5 RPG and 5.0 APG), Joe Bamisile (19.5 PPG and 4.5 RPG) and Phillip Russell (14.0 PPG). The Rams also force a lot of turnovers (15th in forced turnovers), as their guards get their hands on a lot of loose balls (10.3 SPG). Seton Hall is committing 13.8 turnovers per game (252nd) and is offensively challenged (53.8 PPG and 339th in FG%).
