This is a 10* play on the VCU Rams.
The Oregon State Beavers somehow found their way into the NCAA Tournament, much to the dismay of St. Mary's, Valparaiso and a handful of other more deserving teams. Their tournament run is likely to come to an end pretty quickly though, facing VCU in the first round. The Beavers finished in the middle of the pack in the Pac12, with a 10-10 conference record. They were not a great team away from home, going 4-7 on the road, scoring an average of 68.7 points on 43.3 percent shooting in those games.
VCU won seven of it's last 10 overall, and six of those seven wins came by a double digit margin. They finished tied with Dayton and St. Bonaventure at the top of the A-10 with a 14-4 record. Unlike the Beavers, the Rams had no trouble winning on the road, with a record of 7-4. The Rams should have a big edge in both free throw shooting as well as rebounding, and it's tough to beat teams that hit their free throws and win the battle on the boards.
Oregon State will really miss forward Trey Tinkle, who is one of the team's top scorers: "He's doubtful," Wayne Tinkle said. "The timing of his injury is very unfortunate. He was having an incredible freshman season for us. We'll miss his toughness and playmaking ability for sure."
Take VCU.
