Premium Pick

VCU is 28-6 and it has won 18 of its past 20 games after winning the Atlantic 10 tournament with a 68-63 victory over George Mason while shooting just 40 percent, but holding the Patriots to 34 percent. The Rams allow only 29.0 points in the first half this season and they are #10 in the country allowing 62.4 points per game. BYU showed its vulnerability getting routed 74-54 by Houston on Friday in the Big 12 tournament. The game went UNDER even with a low posted total and the Cougars were down 41-20 at the half. They shot just 32 percent and missed 22 of 28 3-point tries. VCU has gone UNDER five straight as an underdog and BYU has stayed UNDER four of its past five against Atlantic 10 opponents. VCU allowed only 59 points per game in the three conference tournament games. The Rams have a balanced offense with four scorers averaging 10.6-15.5 points. The wrong team is favored in this matchup. Take VCU on the moneyline, the first half UNDER, and the full game UNDER.
