An Atlantic 10 blockbuster is set for Friday night when the VCU Rams (17-6, 8-2 in A10) visit the Saint Louis Billikens (15-7, 7-2). These are the top two teams in the conference, and, at this point, it would be a surprise if one of these two teams don’t represent the A10 in the NCAA Tournament. Below is my college basketball prediction for VCU vs Saint Louis.
