Virginia Commonwealth vs. Wichita State

The VCU Rams made an historic run last season, going from a play-in game to the Final Four, as they won and covered five straight games before bowing to Butler. They have come back to win 28 games this season despite missing some parts. Wichita State is certainly no slouch themselves. The Shockers finished 27-5 and two of the losses occurred in overtime, while another was a 1-point loss, so this team could be coming in here at 30-2. Needless to say the Shockers are the real deal out of the MVC which has seen its share of Cinderellas. The Shockers have been masters in anticipated contested games, where they are favored by -6.5 or less, turning the tables on the oddsmakers to a 24-8 ATS mark in their last 32, and could be this year's VCU.
