Who's Playing

Chattanooga @ VCU

Current Records: Chattanooga 3-0; VCU 2-1

What to Know

The VCU Rams will square off against the Chattanooga Mocs at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Stuart Siegel Center. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

While not quite a landslide, the matchup between VCU and the Vanderbilt Commodores on Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as the Rams wrapped it up with a 48-37 win on the road. Forward Vince Williams Jr. (14 points) was the top scorer for VCU.

Meanwhile, Chattanooga was able to grind out a solid victory over the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles on Tuesday, winning 69-62.

VCU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.

VCU is now 2-1 while the Mocs sit at 3-0. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Rams are fourth worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 18.7 on average. Chattanooga has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 44th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11.3 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
