Maybe Phil Martelli Jr.s VCU can contend in the A-10, but not sure the Rams can extend a margin on a resourceful New Mexico tonight. VCU, which already lost vs. another MW rep Utah State, will have to deal with an emerging Lobos squad off of an impressive blowout at the Pit over Santa Clara. First-year HC Eric Olen (via USD) has found some pop with frosh like G Jake Hall, frosh F Tomislav Buljan and G Uriah Tennette, plus portal adds G Deyton Albury (Utah State) & F Antonio Chol (Rutgers), all scoring in double digits. The Rams might need soph bombardier Terrence Hill (51% triples) staying hot from deep to have a chance at pulling clear. Play New Mexico.
