I do like the VCU -3 pick
-Highest RPI (66th) by any team not in the NIT or NCAA Tournaments. VCU had six wins against the top-100 in the RPI, three of which were against top-50 teams, two of which made the NCAA Tournament (Richmond and Old Dominion)
-VCU beat both A10 opponents Richmond 65-57 and Rhode Island 82-80 this year
- GW and VCU have shared six opponents this year with VCU going 7-1 and the Colonials going 4-3.
