VCU does have a weakness and it may come back to haunt it at some point in this tournament. That weak point is turnovers, where they rank 290th in turnovers per possession. With that being said, it shouldn’t be an issue for them in this matchup due to Davidson’s inability to force turnovers.

Davidson ranks 235th in opponent turnovers per possession, so the Wildcats may not be able to capitalize on VCU’s turnover issues.

I’ll back VCU to win and cover in this spot and advance to the next round.

Pick: VCU -5.5
