We roll with VCU here against Richmond as we take the favorite. This is a VCU team that already beat Richmond earlier this year but it was a tight win in overtime if you remember. VCU beat this team by 5 points on the road earlier this year and though Richmond has revenge, whenever the favorite gets to hook up with the weaker team at home after a tight road contest with the same team, the home team and favorite actually dominates more the next time around. Note, that VCU is crushing teams right now beating St. Louis 85-62 and Rhode Island 83-67 and this is in part to this team losing 2 conference games prior to this against the likes of George Washington and Massachusetts. Now, this team is refocused and we don't expect this game to be as close this time though the public does. Note, VCU is an elite defensive team as they are a top 25 defensive squad and top 45 when it comes to the 3 point shooting. Will Wade's team has not skipped a beat since Shaka Smart left to Texas. VCU is the far superior team tonight!
