There are some great NCAA basketball games today, and that includes a good matchup in the Atlantic 10 Conference. The George Washington Colonials host the Richmond Spiders, and both ncaab teams are right in the middle of the college basketball standings in the league.
It doesn’t appear as if either of these teams will be featured in March Madness bets, but this should be an extremely competitive game.
The NCAAB odds for this game are as tight as they can be, and that will make it tough when making a Richmond vs George Washington prediction.

Richmond Spiders vs. George Washington Colonials Analysis
Breaking down the overall stats for each team can help when making college basketball picks, and you will see that these teams play a very different style of basketball. Richmond is scoring just 68 points per game this year, but they are holding opponents to just 66.5 points per game.
George Washington is averaging over 75 points per game this season, but they are also allowing over 75 points per night. The Colonials will try to speed up the tempo in this game, but that’s not easy to do against a team like Richmond.
Each team does have one of the best college basketball players in the A-10, and that should set up for a great head-to-head matchup. Forward Tyler Burton of Richmond is scoring over 19 points per game, and James Bishop IV leads George Washington with more than 20 points per game.
Richmond was supposed to be a team that is loaded with scoring options, but that just hasn’t been the case this season. The Spiders are sho43 percent as a team, and they sometimes struggle to get good looks at the basket.
George Washington is making 46 percent of their shots, and they are great at getting to the paint and putting pressure on the defense. The Colonials will need to make some shots from deep if they are going to win this one.
You also need to look at the college basketball injury report for this game, and both teams have some players on the list. Richmond will be without Connor Crabtree in this game, and George Washington is going to be without Daniel Dixon and E.J. Clark.
