3-4 - Virginia Commonwealth University is 3-4 on the road in conference play, and has lost three of its last four road games.

The new Robins Center has been notoriously loud all season - St. Joseph's coach Phil Martelli even questioned whether Richmond had amplified the crowd noise. It will be interesting to see how many VCU fans get into the Robins Center, and if they can nullify Richmond's home-court advantage.
