The set-up: VCU is 7-3 the last ten in this series and it's won four of the last five, but the Rams fell 60-52 to the Minutemen in the lone meeting this year. Both teams have for the most part been terrible this season, but the Rms are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 off a road loss. UMass on the other hand is just 3-6 ATS in its last nine neutral site games.

The pick: The Minutemen have an impressive rookie player in Tre Mitchell, who actually went on to win ROY for the A-10 this season, but the combination of Nah'Shon Hyland and Marcus Santos-Silva will push the Rams over the top this time in my opinion. I'm laying the points.

10* A-10 TOURNAMENT PLAY OF THE YEAR is on VCU.
