Projection: first four out
VCU has started strong with impressive wins against Bellarmine and Boston College, showcasing a solid defense that ranks among the best. However, their offensive performance has been inconsistent, highlighted by struggles against teams like Merrimack. Upcoming matchups present both opportunities and risks; a game against New Mexico could serve as a significant benchmark, testing their mettle against a well-regarded opponent. If VCU can maintain its defensive intensity and improve its scoring efficiency, particularly in tougher Atlantic 10 contests against teams like George Mason and Dayton, they can solidify their tournament standing. But losses in these critical games could jeopardize their seed, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach as the season progresses.
