Re: Game Thread: VCU @ Rhode Island (Wednesday 1/30/13)

both teams are coming off 2 loss weeks. Most people are taking VCU but these seem to be the games that URI play well in.

Having said that, i still think VCU wins

everyone in this league respects rhode island, even in their down years they end up taking down a giant or 2. last year they got dayton and umass. they beat slu earlier in the year.

VCU is giving 11.5 in this game. I know URI isn't that good, but this seems high.

I agree, especially if VCU's shooting woes continue. Suprisingly VCU is shooting better in conference play on the road!

It's hard to get a read on VCU because of their style, if Rhody controls the ball it will be under that line. if they turn it over VCU could easily cover. It's a crapshoot.

Re: Game Thread: VCU @ Rhode Island (Wednesday 1/30/13)

If the Rams can counter the Rams' aggressiveness on defense, then I think the Rams can pull this one out. But if the Rams get physical on the offensive boards – and demonstrate that they really want it more than the Rams do, I would change my prediction to the Rams.

Agreed. I think it's a 50/50 chance that the Rams win, or lose, this game.

I'm almost willing to say that it is a 100% chance that the Rams win this game.
