Current Records: George Washington 4-9; VCU 9-4

What to Know

The VCU Rams are 8-2 against the George Washington Colonials since February of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Tuesday. The Rams and George Washington will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 7 p.m. ET at Stuart Siegel Center. VCU is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.

VCU had enough points to win and then some against the La Salle Explorers this past Saturday, taking their game 85-66. Forward Vince Williams Jr. was the offensive standout of the contest for VCU, picking up 16 points and five assists in addition to six boards.

Meanwhile, a victory for George Washington just wasn't in the stars this past Saturday as the squad never even grasped a temporary lead. They have to be aching after a bruising 83-58 defeat to the Dayton Flyers. Guard James Bishop wasn't much of a difference maker for the Colonials; Bishop finished with 12 points on 5-for-16 shooting and turned the ball over four times in his 35 minutes on the court.

The Rams are the favorite in this one, with an expected 16.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.

VCU's win brought them up to 9-4 while George Washington's loss pulled them down to a reciprocal 4-9. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: VCU comes into the matchup boasting the sixth fewest points allowed per game in college basketball at 57.1. Less enviably, the Colonials are stumbling into the game with the 32nd fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 64.5 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against George Washington.
