5. The Rams Will Allow No Easy Shots

VCU Basketball — Mo Alie-Cox and Justin Tillman make it very difficult for opposing teams to drive to the basket. This will continue to happen as long as those two are on the floor.

4. Melvin Johnson Will Become A More Reliable Scorer

4. Melvin Johnson Will Become A More Reliable Scorer

VCU Basketball — Treveon Graham has not been 100 percent in the past few games, which is why Melvin Johnson will start to score more and more. Johnson plays the second-most minutes on this team, and he will need to step up for the rest of the season. He will start becoming a more reliable option on the offensive end.

3. Shaka Smart Will Continue To Be Best Coach In Atlantic 10

3. Shaka Smart Will Continue To Be Best Coach In Atlantic 10

VCU Basketball — Shaka Smart is one of the best coaches in the conference and in the country. He shows great passion on the sideline during each contest. Every player on the Rams has bought into Smart's system. At the end of this season, rumors will fly around about Smart and other head coaching jobs, because every program wants him as their head coach.

2. The Rams Will Win the Atlantic 10 Title

2. The Rams Will Win the Atlantic 10 Title

VCU Basketball — The Rams have lost their past two conference games to rather weak opponents, but the team has shown that they can beat anyone in the conference. VCU, Dayton, Rhode Island and George Washington will compete for the Atlantic 10 title, but VCU has too much talent and experience. This is why the Rams will take home the conference title.

1. The Rams Will Seriously Miss Briante Weber

1. The Rams Will Seriously Miss Briante Weber

VCU Basketball — Briante Weber did everything for the Rams on both ends of the floor. His injury has truly affected VCU, especially in these past two games. If the team still has Weber, the Rams would make some noise during the NCAA tournament, but without Weber, that task seems very much out of reach.
