St. Bonaventure Bonnies vs. VCU Rams Prediction
I’m on the Bonnies and the points here. Do I think VCU is the better team? Yes, but do I think they’re double-digits better than a solid Bonnies team? I’m not so sure. I think part of this is the VCU name brand and the fact that the Siegel Center is one of the tougher road environments in all of the A-10, but this VCU team looks slightly different under Phil Martelli Jr. and I think that St. Bonaventure at least keeps it at single digits. Give me the Bonnies.
