Game Preview

When VCU won nine of its final 12 games of the 2020-21 season, it looked as if the Rams were poised to make a respectable run on college basketball’s biggest stage.

That was until lingering effects of the pandemic nixed VCU’s chances of recording its first NCAA Tournament win since 2016.

Positive COVID-19 tests forced the Rams to forfeit their meeting with Oregon, but VCU now has a chance to redeem itself in the first round of the NCAA Tournament when it faces Saint Mary’s in the West Region on Friday in Albany, N.Y.
