VCU (20-7, 12-3) enters tonight’s matchup coming off an embarrassing loss to Old Dominion their last time out at home by 21 points as a three point favorite. The Rams are having a great season so far sitting one game behind George Mason in the conference standings but VCU has had struggles the last five games on the defensive side of the ball. The Rams are allowing 74.2 points per game the last five games which is 6.6 points higher then their season average.

Tonight’s matchup is going to be a great game with the top spot in the conference up for grabs. Look for George Mason though to pull this one out and cover the small line on this game. The Pirates are playing great basketball right now and I am sure they do not want to give up that top spot in the conference. VCU has had struggles covering lines against better then .500 teams this season and that will continue tonight. Play the small road favorite to cash another free play winning ticket.
