Rams dominant against A10 teams this past decade

Only five more months until the Rams kick off their inaugural season in the Atlantic 10, arguably a step up in competition with the addition of Butler to the conference, but did you know VCU has actually been quite dominant against their future conference foes over the past decade?

Well you do now.

VCU has gone 15-5 over the past 10 seasons against current A-10 teams, but grabbed the majority of their Ws against cross-town rival Richmond, notching eight of those 15 victories against the Spiders.

The Rams dominated at home but went just 5-3 in true road games during that span. However, one of those victories included a CBI Championship at St. Louis in 2010.
