What to Know

The VCU Rams will face off against the Merrimack Warriors at 7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Stuart Siegel Center. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Last Friday, VCU got the win against Boston College by a conclusive 80-55. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Rams.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead VCU to victory, but perhaps none more so than Phillip Russell, who went 5 for 9 en route to 20 points. Joe Bamisile was another key player, almost dropping a double-double on 18 points and nine rebounds.

VCU smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 14 offensive rebounds. That's the most offensive rebounds they've posted since back in February.

Meanwhile, Merrimack gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Saturday. They came out on top against Vermont by a score of 65-51.

Looking ahead, the game looks promising for VCU, as the team is favored by a full 16.5 points. They finished last season with a 19-11 record against the spread.

VCU ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 16-5 when favored last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 31 games they played last year would have netted $298.23. On the other hand, Merrimack was 3-7 as the underdog last season.
