We are going to jump on this game fairly last minute as Hawks leading scorer Ryan Daly was seen with a cast on his hand in warmups and obviously is trending toward not playing. He averages 17.2 points and 6.2 rebounds for winless Saint Joseph's. VCU has value at this number now. The Rams are 10-4 ATS in their past 14 as road favorites.

It's hard to back an 0-5 team but the Hawks have played a brutal schedule. The beginning of conference play is a chance for them to get a fresh start. They're at home and they're getting substantial points. Look for the underdog to improve to 10-2 ATS in the past 12 VCU-St. Joseph's meetings.
