VCU vs BYU Analysis
The committee couldn’t have given BYU a worse matchup. The Cougars, who finished with a 24-9 record, get to face VCU, a top-30 team in KenPom.
I like the Rams here. One reason is that BYU struggles with turnovers. The Cougars’ high-octane offense gives the ball away 17% of the time.
Plus, Egor Demin typically looks lost against pressure, and VCU thrives on turnovers.
VCU’s guards are tremendous, too. All four of Max Shulga, Zeb Jackson, Phillip Russell and Joe Bamisile can overwhelm BYU’s less athletic backcourt.
The Pick: VCU +3.5
