Analysis
Pinnacle on VCU The Atlantic 10 championship is slated for Sunday afternoon, with the Dayton Flyers facing the VCU Rams. Every bubble team in the country is rooting for the Rams, not wanting Dayton to steal an extra bid. The Flyers dispatched Saint Louis is a wild final 20 seconds. VCU, on the other hand, has cruised fairly comfortably through this tournament, especially considering they started the week as a team firmly on the bubble. I like the Rams to finish the deal on Sunday afternoon, and I will take VCU -3.5. VCU has won both meetings this season with Dayton. They blasted Dayton at home, then beat the Flyers in Dayton late in the season, 68-62. The second meeting played directly to the statistical profiles of the teams. Dayton had a slight edge on the boards and in fastbreak points, but the Rams were able to make a few more 3s and, most importantly, limit Dayton’s 3s. That is something the Rams do very well, and as long as that holds up, they should take home the A-10 crown.
