Massachusetts at Virginia Commonwealth

Massachusetts has been playing better on the road than at home, going 9-1 ATS in their past 10 road games. The Minutemen won their last two road games outright, 62-53 over Duquesne, and 78-55 against La Salle. They also outlasted Fordham 120-118 in triple overtime on Jan. 15. UMass has three scorers averaging double figures, including Rahsool Diggins (17.2), Jaylen Curry (12.8) and Daniel Rivera (11.8). The teams split last year's two contests with UMass winning the first meeting 74-52, and then losing to VCU in the conference tournament. The Rams are in a letdown situation following two big road wins at Dayton and George Washington, making it difficult to cover a huge point spread. The Rams score 78.4 points per game compared to 75.4 for the Minutemen. VCU's field goal percentage is just .448 overall and .335 from 3-point range. Take Massachusetts.
