game preview

The Rams will travel south to Tampa to take on an old conference foe from back in the Sunbelt/Metro conference days when taking on the South Florida Bulls on Sunday. The Rams punched their ticket to the NIT Sweet 16 by defeating Villanova in Philly, while South Florida won on the road against...

The Rams will make the relatively quick trip up 95 North to Philly this weekend to try and start their NIT tournament off with a win at Villanova. The top-seeded Wildcats will take on VCU for the first time since Nov 24, 2014, a 24-point loss for the black and gold in what would eventually end...

VCU's final attempt at securing a double-bye comes tonight and it may come with an extreme degree of difficulty. After falling at Richmond by three, then dropping a home contest against Duquesne by 10, the black and gold travel to Dayton to attempt an upset to secure the A-10's 4-seed for next...

In their final home game of the season, the Rams will hope to hold serve against Keith Dambrot's Duquesne Dukes in an effort to clinch a top-4 Atlantic 10 tournament seed and the coveted double-bye that comes with it. Should VCU slip in front of their home fans, it would put the pressure on the...

VCU is a couple games back, but still definitely in the fight for an A-10 regular season championship and are at worst in control of their own destiny on a top-4 seed and the A-10 tourney double-bye (/shortened tournament path) that comes with it. In their way this evening is the Archie...

VCU was one of the hottest teams in Atlantic 10 play in February, having picked up two huge wins over A-10 title contenders, Dayton and Richmond. Hoping to create some distance from the rest of the pack, VCU suffered quite the setback instead, getting absolutely throttled by the Minutemen of...

It's certainly a new phenomenon for VCU to head into SLU's Chaifetz Arena as a solid road favorite, but that's just where we find ourselves today thanks to a downward trajectory that has made for one weird season in the Gateway City. The Billikens have been typically "tough" under Travis Ford...

The last time the VCU Rams and Dayton Flyers tipped it up was for the 2023 Atlantic 10 Championship. VCU got the better of that battle, winning their second A-10 tourney championship -- coincidentally both times against the Flyers -- then lost their coach, the majority of their roster and had to...

VCU is riding a pretty serious high after taking down crosstown rival Richmond this past weekend, but will need to quickly turn the page Tuesday with a matchup against a somewhat struggling but dangerous Fordham Rams team. Keith Urgo's second season as head honcho in the Bronx isn't off to the...

The Rams have been rolling as of late, winning five consecutive games including three on the road. No better way to test what's improved for the black and gold during that streak thank by matching up again with the team that handed VCU their first A-10 loss of the year. St. Bonaventure plays...

Two opposite streaks clash tonight in North Carolina when VCU's two-game road win streak meets Davidson's three-game home losing streak. Add those together and... in theory... it should equal a happy night for the black and gold, but sometimes "basketball happens" and streaks come to and end...

The VCU Rams and Loyola Chicago Ramblers bring matching three-game win streaks into tonight's contest . At stake is not only a continued hot streak, but a head-to-head tie-breaker in what looks like it could be an extremely competitive A-10 standings race. After a brutal 4-14 start to their...

A-10 fans have become accustomed to both VCU and SLU, two of the conference's highest-spending programs, fighting for a top spot and even championships in the league. This season, with a combined 18-16 record and 3-5 in conference play, these programs are simply looking to fight their way out of...

What optimism existed after a lackluster non-conference showing following the return of Sean Bairstow and Joe Bamisile has seemingly disappeared following back-to-back home losses for Ryan Odom's first VCU team. The black and bold were outclassed from start to finish by St. Bonaventure in front...

There are currently three teams in the Atlantic 10 that rank top-100 nationally in both offensive and defensive efficiency and two of them will be on the Siegel Center floor tonight. Last year's A-10 Champ Rams lost their only contest to the Bonnies, a 61-58 Siegel Center L to a Mark...

The Rams look to finish the non-conference schedule with a win against the Runnin' Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb today at the Siegel Center following and eight-day holiday break. The Bulldogs limp into Richmond on a three-game losing streak and with a 5-9 record overall, played have played one of the...
