Dayton Flyers at VCU Rams Prediction

Both teams play solid defense at home sand on the road, but VCU has a big edge in offensive shooting at home. The Rams have shot an impressive 50.3% from the field and have averaged 81.4 points per game at the Siegel Center this season. VCU has dominated their competition at home with a scoring margin of just under 20 points per game and I'll call for them to extend the margin enough tonight to get the point spread cover.
