The VCU Rams notched 99 points in that last clash with the Dayton Flyers, fueling that offensive outburst with eight 3-pointers and 24 points off turnovers. The Rams aren’t shy to let it fly from outside, especially against a Dayton defense that struggles to protect the perimeter. The Flyers can counter those shortcomings with an offense that’s really clicking at the right time. They’re shooting 49% from the field the past five games, including knocking down an average of 9.2 triples in that stretch. Game models range from 150 to 151 combined points, topping the 148.5-point Over/Under.
