Analysis
NIT Tourney quarterfinals have the VCU Rams travelling to the Bee State to take on Utah for the right to move on to the Semifinals in New York. The VCU Rams are 24-13 on the season and have won both NIT matchups after losing in their conference tourney game to Duquesne, 51-57. They have defeated Villanova, 70-61 and then last game beat South Florida, 70-65, as a 3-point dog. The Rams have been a good covering team all season with a 22-13-2 ATS mark. They are also 6-2 ATS in their eight tourney games this year. They average 71.4 ppg while allowing just 66.5 ppg. The Utah Utes finished their last season in the PAC 12 with a 21-14 record. They lost to Colorado in their conference tourney, 58-72. However, they have come back in the NIT with wins over UC Irvine, 84-75 and then last game over Iowa, 91-82. They average 78.6 ppg while allowing 73 ppg. This game will be the defense of VCU against the offense of Utah. Both teams play different styles. I like the points though with VCU as they keep this game lower scoring. Play VCU.
