ANALYSIS: VCU is a moderately good team, capable of testing many an opponent that they'll encounter. Haslametrics has them ranked 70th overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 18-13. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 136.6).
VCU will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 45th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 92 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. VCU thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked sixth in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 15.94. VCU also has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked 15th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 75.71 vs. AO.
VCU is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 115th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 102 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. VCU is one of the more accurate teams in the college game when it comes to shooting the three. They're ranked 49th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 35.9% of their attempts from there vs. AO.
VCU has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked eighth from the bottom in positive momentum. On the road, VCU performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 342nd in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
