Matchup Breakdown
Saint Louis brings a high-powered offense that ranks near the top nationally in scoring at 95.0 points per game. They shoot over 52 percent from the field and rebound at a top-five rate, which limits opponents’ second chances. Robbie Avila continues to anchor the offense with scoring and playmaking, while Brady Dunlap and Paul Otieno provide balance that keeps defenses from keying on one option.
VCU counters with depth and pressure. The Rams average 87.2 points per game and convert consistently at the line, which matters in tight conference games. Lazar Djokovic and Terrence Hill Jr. give VCU inside-out scoring, and their recent five-game winning streak shows how effective they have been when dictating tempo at home.
