VCU Rams vs. Illinois Fighting Illini

While Illinois enters following a 105-point performance against Penn, their top-tier offensive efficiency faces a VCU unit that limited opponents to just 29% shooting from deep in their Round 1 upset. With the market already correcting downward from 154.5, we favor the Under as both teams face the quick turnaround in Greenville, where shooting percentages traditionally dip in the second game of the weekend and VCU's perimeter-denial defense (top-50 rank) can effectively neutralize the Illini's transition pace.
