This will be a fast-paced game from the start, as both teams love to put up as many shots at the hoop as possible and use very little shot clock each time down the court. VCU is averaging approximately 12.5 points less per game than South Florida, but the Rams are holding opponents to 71.6 points per game, while South Florida is giving up an average of 81.6 points per game. Both are shooting relatively the same, except VCU has a better three-point shot at 35.3% while South Florida is hitting 32.3% of its 3-pointers. Through the first five games of the regular season, VCU is 3-1-1 ATS, with its only loss ATS, when winning by 17 points as a 21-point favorite.
