These are two teams that are here in this spot, a spot without Dayton or Loyola Chicago who should of been here. However, out of these two, VCU have the much better defense and that should be the difference in this game a long with their 3 point shooting. That is something that St. Josephs struggles with on defense, defending the three and they are not good at getting rebounds as well. VCU just better at defending the perimeter and will make it difficult for St. Joes to get second chances. The Rams have won the last three matches head to head and are 2-1 ATS in those matches. VCU should be more focused in this game as they see the prize at the end of the road.
