2026 Tournament PreviewVCU isn't the typical mid-major. The Rams have two Quad 1 wins, earned a fifth Quad 2 victory in the A-10 tournament title game and have signature non-conference wins against South Florida and Virginia Tech. They're now looking for their first NCAA Tournament win since 2016 under first-year head coach Phil Martelli Jr. The nine-man rotation is balanced, with no one playing even 28 minutes per game. Named the A-10 Most Improved Player, Terrence Hill (14.4 ppg) shoots 35.5 percent on three-pointers, while fellow All-A10 first-teamer Lazar Djokovic (13.5 ppg, 5.4 rpg) forms a solid inside-out tandem as a 6-11 forward. Seven players have hit at least 20 three-pointers, as the Rams shoot 36.7 percent from distance (35th). Defensively, VCU is 60th in efficiency, per KenPom. They Rams are first-round underdogs, but this isn't a team to underestimate.
