VCU Form & Recent Results
VCU heads into this matchup playing great basketball so far this season, carrying a nine-game winning streak and plenty of momentum. Their most recent game was a strong 78–67 road win over Richmond on Saturday, and Terrence Hill Jr. once again set the tone, finishing with 20 points. Hill Jr. has been the steady engine for the Rams all season long, leading the team in scoring at 14.7 points per game. Close behind him is Lazar Djokovic, who has also been a reliable offensive option, averaging 13.7 points a night and giving VCU a consistent second scorer defenses have to account for.
Djokovic has done just as much work on the glass, too, leading the Rams in rebounding at 5.8 boards per game this season, which has helped VCU control possessions and create extra chances on offense. Hill Jr. also contributes as a playmaker, topping the team in assists with 2.7 per game, showing he can create for others in addition to getting his own buckets. Overall, VCU’s offense has been rolling lately. Over their last five games, they’ve put up an average of 81.2 points, a clear sign of how confident and efficient they’ve been. Now back at home on Tuesday, the Rams will try to keep that hot stretch going when they welcome George Washington, looking to stay aggressive and extend the streak by bringing that same energy into the next game.
George Washington Form & Recent Results
George Washington comes into this game riding a two-game winning streak, although their recent performances have been a bit uneven lately, with three losses in their last five games overall. They did pick up an important home win on Friday, beating George Mason 72-53, and Luke Hunger was the headline performer in that one, pouring in 31 points to lead the Revolutionaries. Results like that show what this team can look like when everything clicks, especially when they’re able to control the pace and get consistent scoring from their main options.

Rafael Castro has been George Washington’s most reliable scoring threat throughout this season, leading the team at 15.9 points per game, and he also sets the tone on the glass with a team-best 9 rebounds a night. Garrett Johnson has been another key piece offensively, sitting second on the team at 13 points per game, giving them a steady secondary option. When it comes to creating looks for others, Jean Aranguren has been the primary playmaker, leading the team with 3.4 assists per game this season. Defensively, though, the Revolutionaries have had some issues lately because over their last five games they’ve given up an average of 73.2 points. They’ll need to tighten things up against VCU’s pressure and physical defense if they want to stay out of trouble and avoid picking up their eighth conference loss.

George Washington vs. VCU Picks and Prediction
VCU comes into Tuesday night riding a nine-game winning streak, and they’ve been doing it with balance, putting points on the board with a productive offense while also locking teams down defensively when it matters. Now the Rams will try to keep that momentum rolling as they continue to assert themselves in Atlantic 10 play and host George Washington. George Washington hasn’t had the smoothest season in conference action, having lost seven of its 13 A-10 games so far. Still, the Revolutionaries have shown signs of life lately, picking up back-to-back league wins over Rhode Island and George Mason. They’ll be looking to build off that confidence and turn it into another conference game win against a VCU team that’s been hard to slow down. Final Score Prediction, VCU Rams win but fail to cover the spread, 81-75.
