VCU @ StL
Copied from last nite...
.....Call me stupid. Just hit up VCU +4 for tomorrow. Although StL lost to URI at home earlier, they've pretty much rolled everyone else. This game is the meat in a 3 game week for them. Charlotte on Sat, VCU tomorrow, and at Butler on Friday. As much as I like StL, this league is just too tough to roll through. I'm gonna love watching these 2 play. All except Ellis' floppin', that is. If the Billies beat VCU tomorrow, I'll be hammering Butler come Friday......
I really don't think the pressure will bother the StL backcourt that much. They have 3 guards that can handle the press in Mitchell, McCall, and Jett. It'll be interesting to see if they attack once they break it, or go to their sets. They are deep enough to play up and down, but just not fast enough to maintain it effectively. I look for them to slow it down and try and control the tempo. And they can bring their own defense as well. The under could be in play. Still deciding.
I think this one will go back and forth, with a maximum effort from both. That's why I'm taking the points. I keep trying to find an edge in these A10 matchups, and I think the schedule that StL faces in this stretch could hurt them. Looking to take advantage of that tonite. Normally they play 2 games a week. This week 3. And the foes are formidable. Charlotte, VCU, Butler, then next Wed.... St Joes. Their record is for real, but a rough chunk is now in front of them.
One last thought.....VCU still has not shot free throws well. Thought they would have improved that by now. Might cost them tonite. Well, I hope I can stay awake to watch it all.
