VCU stays in the Bahamas Friday night for the third-place game in the Battle 4 Atlantis, squaring off with Virginia Tech. The Rams enter at 4–3 after getting handled by Vanderbilt on Thursday, while the Hokies sit at 6–1 following their own loss to Saint Mary’s. Both teams are looking to bounce back, but the matchup sets up differently than the box scores suggest.
VCU’s strength has been its offense, averaging 86 points on 45% shooting. Still, they looked flat against Vanderbilt, managing just 74. Defensively, they’ve been solid overall, holding opponents to 73 per game, but they were exposed last time out, giving up 89. Djokovic, Tracey, Hill Jr., and Lewis all chip in double figures, but this is more of a balanced scoring group than a team with one go-to star.
Virginia Tech has been the more polished side this season. They’re putting up nearly 88 points per game on 47% shooting, though they were held to just 66 against Saint Mary’s. Defensively, they’ve been steady, allowing just over 72 per game. Avdalas and Hansberry lead the way with 14.8 apiece, while Lawal controls the paint with 12.8 points and 10.3 boards. This roster has more defined roles and reliable production.
The Hokies are the better team, and that should show early. They’ve got more scoring options, stronger rebounding, and a defense that’s less prone to breakdowns. VCU can hang for stretches, but when the pace slows, they don’t have the same half-court efficiency.
That said, the total is where the value lies. Both teams are capable offensively, but coming off tough losses, expect a more controlled tempo. Virginia Tech’s defense has been consistent, and VCU’s offense isn’t built to trade buckets all night against a disciplined unit. This feels like a game that settles into the 140s rather than pushing past 150.
