In looking at the numbers it was an absolutely terrible shooting game for VCU.<\/p>\n The Rams are not the best offensive team around but normally their style of play creates some easy buckets. Against Richmond they couldn’t hit anything.<\/p>\n They were especially anemic from deep making just 19% of their three point attempts. The law of averages says they should be better in this one.<\/p>\n There is still a soft spot for George Mason in most people’s hearts as they were a fun bracketbuster story.<\/p>\n This season has not been good times. While VCU has just one conference loss this season the Patriots have only been able to muster a couple of conference wins.<\/p>\n They could certainly be motivated by the Rams coming to town but this year but they might not be able to match that with enough talent to push VCU.<\/p>\n A win would could be the highlight of the current season who \u00a0does not look like it is ending with postseason play.<\/p>\n The Patriots have a productive interior player in Shevon Thompson.<\/p>\n The freshman Center is 6’11” and strong and is the leading scorer and rebounder on the team, averaging 13&11. He is not the most refined low post threat but he is a beast on the offensive glass – averaging 5 offensive boards per game.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n To have any shot against VCU he needs to have a strong game and stay on the floor.<\/p>\n This is probably a good spot play on VCU. At this stage of the season they should\u00a0be just fine without Weber.<\/p>\n\n
