2025 Tournament PreviewAfter winning A-10 regular-season and tournament titles, VCU is back in the Big Dance and searching for its first victory since 2016. The Rams get most of their scoring from fifth-year seniors Max Shulga (15.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 4.0 apg) and Joe Bamisile (15.1 ppg, 5.1 rpg), but Clemson transfer Jack Clark (9.6 ppg, 6.9 rpg) has been another difference-maker this year. The 6-10 center leads a frontcourt that limits opponents to 44.1 percent shooting inside the arc, good for fifth in the country. VCU also has a top-10 block rate and top-12 offensive rebounding rate. Defense ranks 22nd in KenPom's efficiency metric, forcing turnovers at the 26th-highest rate in the country. The Rams have Quad 1 wins against Colorado State and Dayton, five Quad 2 wins and only one bad loss, resulting in a solid NET ranking of 31. VCU's resume and high-major talent should put its first-round opponent on upset alert.
