What to Know

The VCU Rams will take on the #13 Dayton Flyers at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday at University of Dayton Arena. Dayton will be strutting in after a victory while VCU will be stumbling in from a loss.

VCU entered their contest against the Rhode Island Rams on Saturday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. VCU fell to Rhode Island 65-56. One thing holding VCU back was the mediocre play of G Marcus Evans, who did not have his best game; he finished with 11 points on 4-for-12 shooting and turned the ball over four times in his 34 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, the Flyers took their game against the Massachusetts Minutemen on Saturday by a conclusive 88-60 score. The Flyers relied on the efforts of F Ryan Mikesell, who posted a double-double on 15 points and 14 rebounds, and F Obi Toppin, who had 16 points along with five steals.

VCU isn't expected to pull this one out (the Flyers are favored by 8), but if it comes down to a funny bounce or two, they might get lucky. VCU has become house darlings this year, often claiming the win while leaving bettors who were also counting on them to beat the spread out in the cold.

VCU is now 12-4 while Dayton sits at 14-2. The Flyers are 11-2 after wins this season, and VCU is 2-1 after losses.
