Heading into their home opener, VCU is coming off a strong finish to last season, having notched victories in three of their final five games.

Not far behind them was Zeb Jackson, who contributed an average of 10.8 points. On the boards, Jack Clark proved to be the team’s most reliable rebounder, pulling down nearly seven rebounds per contest. Max Shulga also stood out as VCU’s top playmaker, dishing out an average of four assists per game. In those last five matchups of the previous season, the Rams managed to put up an average of 70.6 points per game, demonstrating their ability to generate offense even against tough competition. Across the entire season, VCU’s offense was consistent, averaging 76.2 points per game. As they get set to tip off in front of their home crowd, the Rams are hoping to pick up right where they left off and deliver another impressive offensive performance.
Wagner Form & Recent Results
Wagner heads into their season opener hoping to bounce back after losing three of their final five games last year. The Seahawks' top offensive threat last season was Zaire Williams, who paced the team with an average of 12.1 points per game. Right behind him was Zae Blake, who contributed 9.9 points per contest. On the glass, Keyontae Lewis was the team's leading rebounder, pulling down five boards per game on average. When it came to distributing the ball, Javier Ezquerra stood out, leading the team with 4.6 assists per game. Defensively, Wagner was solid toward the end of last season, limiting opponents to just 56.4 points per game over their final five matchups. They’ll be hoping to bring that same level of intensity on the defensive end as the new season gets underway. However, if the Seahawks want to upset VCU on the road in their opening game, they’ll need to find more consistency and production on offense. They managed just 57.5 points per game last season, which leaves room for improvement. With a new season ahead, Wagner will be looking to build on their defensive strengths while boosting their scoring output.
