The VCU Rams (23-5) aim to keep their seven-game winning streak alive as they welcome the Davidson Wildcats (16-12) to Stuart C. Siegel Center on Friday for an Atlantic 10 showdown.
Davidson enters this contest having dropped three of its last four, with Providence standing as their only notable victory this season. The Wildcats have struggled against some of the nation’s best, suffering tough losses to Arizona, Gonzaga, and Dayton. If Davidson hopes to pull off an upset on the road against the A-10’s top team, they’ll need a standout performance from Reed Bailey, their most impactful player.
On the other hand, VCU sits at 23-5, with their signature win also coming against Dayton. The Rams' setbacks have come at the hands of Seton Hall, Nevada, New Mexico, St. Bonaventure, and Saint Louis. Joe Bamisile and Max Shulga share the title of VCU’s top scorers, and both are expected to make an impact in this matchup. With Davidson’s inconsistency, the Rams have a prime opportunity to capitalize and maintain their spot atop the A-10 standings.
