#5 VCU +2.5 vs #4 TSUN (ov/un 142.5) Sat 12:15 CBS

It will be very important for UM to avoid turning the ball over against the press. You know VCU will get their share of buckets against UM's halfcourt defense, they aren't going to get magically better than they have been on D, but to win they will have to keep VCU from scoring off the press. Burke may just be one of the few guards out there who can really burn VCU's press.

I know right. At the same time though, I don't miss not being able to watch two close games coming down to the wire. It should get back to pandemonium when the CSU-Louisville & Harvard-Arizona games tip off later. Six games tipping off within three hours should be entertaining.

UM already in the bonus 11 minutes in. Thankfully they can't hit an open three to save there lives.

Unfortunately, VCU can't hit a shot within 10 feet of the hoop to save there lives.

VCU's press isn't doing much to bother scUM. Looking like they're going to take care of business, unless they tire under 40 minutes of it. VCU needs to stay close, though.

VCU just need to get something going offensively. They're forcing some bad off-balance shots, but also missing some good looks too. There press isn't doing anything but leaving them out to dry when UM makes the long pass on there 1st or 2nd touch. They're basically working themselves out. It's not really there game to slow things down, so unless they can get something going soon, they're going to find themselves in a deep hole early.
