Richmond's 76-64 win over Duquense sets up an Atlantic 10 quarterfinal matchup between the city of Richmond's rivals. VCU won the first meeting 81-70 at the Siegel Center, in what turned out to be Richmond seniors Derrick Williams and Cedrick Lindsay's final collegiate games. VCU then pulled out a hard-fought 56-50 victory over a resilient Richmond team behind Treveon Graham's 18-point, 10-rebound and four-assist performance. Will the third time be the charm for the Spiders? Or will the N0. 23 Rams secure the three-game season sweep? Mat Shelton of VCU Ram Nation (Follow them on twitter at @VCURamNation) and Jack Nicholson, sports editor for The Collegian, offer their thoughts and predictions on the game.

3-4 - Virginia Commonwealth University is 3-4 on the road in conference play, and has lost three of its last four road games. Additionally, Richmond has beaten VCU in the last two games played at the Robins Center. Tonight's game is not surprisingly sold out, but VCU will have their fair share of fans. 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.
