How to watch Memphis basketball vs. VCU Rams on live stream plus game time The Memphis Tigers basketball team is scheduled to play the VCU Rams on Sunday, Nov. 20, 2022. Here's how to watch.
Zeb Jackson - Starting Thursday Jackson will start for VCU during Thursday's matchup with Pittsburgh.

Zeb Jackson - Four points across start Jackson contributed four points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 63-59 loss to Arizona State.
Impact Adrian Baldwin (wrist) is out several weeks, so fantasy managers should expect Jackson to continue starting until further notice. While Jackson did not maximize his opportunity Wednesday, the guard will receive more chances to show how valued he could be.

Adrian Baldwin - Could miss several weeks Baldwin (wrist) may miss up to three weeks, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Baldwin did not play in Wednesday's 63-59 loss to Arizona State with a wrist injury that is more serious than originally thought. The star guard is not likely to return this month. Zeb Jackson started in replacement of Baldwin, playing 21 minutes.

Johns scores 15 as VCU knocks off Morgan State 69-54
Led by Brandon Johns Jr.'s 15 points, the VCU Rams defeated the Morgan State Bears 69-54NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jamir Watkins - Scores 13 in opener Watkins produced 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds over 24 minutes during Monday's 73-56 victory over Manhattan.
Impact After gaining clearance from a knee injury in mid-October, Watkins was one of three VCU starters in double figures in the opener. The 6-7 wing appeared in 26 games for the Rams last season and should see an uptick in production as long as he hangs on to the starting job.
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Johns - Efficient opener Johns provided 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 73-56 win over Manhattan.
Impact Johns suffered a broken nose in a late-October practice but started the opener and apparently played without a protective mask. The Michigan transfer and fifth-year senior should continue similar production as the starting power forward moving forward.

Brandon Johns - In starting lineup Monday Johns (nose) is listed in VCU's starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against Manhattan.
Impact Johns is set to play in Monday's season opener despite suffering a broken nose ahead of the team's exhibition against Shippensburg on Oct. 29. The senior transfer averaged 3.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game across 31 contests with Michigan last season, and he should play a much larger role during his final collegiate campaign with VCU.

Brandon Johns - Suffers broken nose Johns suffered a broken nose in practice and was held out of Saturday's 88-53 exhibition victory over Shippensburg, Wayne Epps Jr. of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.
Impact Despite the injury happening with the opener just over a week away, coach Mike Rhoades declared that "he's going to be fine." That implies Johns could be available, likely with some sort of protective mask. Johns was a contributor for four seasons with Michigan before electing to finish his career at VCU, where he'll have a much better chance to lock down a starting role.

Brandon Johns - Performs well in scrimmage Johns and Adrian Baldwin were the two best players for VCU in their scrimmage against Villanova, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.
Impact Johns is an interesting graduate transfer from Michigan where he was mostly used as a spark plug off the bench. Johns has the size to defend in the paint and can also stretch the defense offensively from the perimeter. He should be an impact player on a team with very little frontcourt depth.
OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Adrian Baldwin - Standout for VCU in scrimmage Baldwin and Brandon Johns were the two best players for VCU in their scrimmage against Villanova, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.
Impact Baldwin has started every game he has played in two seasons for VCU. Last year he averaged 11.4 points, 5.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals, and 1.3 three-pointers per contest. Baldwin can get after it on both sides of the ball and should be in for another strong season with VCU.

Josh Banks - Participates in scrimmage Banks (ankle) participated in VCU's team scrimmage Saturday, per Wayne Epps Jr. of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Impact Banks averaged 1.6 points on 32.1 shooting during VCU's 2021-22 season. Though healthy again, he is expected to continue being a backup wing that will not play much even if teammates Jayden Nunn or KeShawn Curry are out.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen DeLoach - Active during scrimmage DeLoach (ankle) participated in VCU's team scrimmage Saturday, per Wayne Epps Jr. of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Impact DeLoach averaged 4.1 points and 3.7 rebounds during the 2021-22 NCAA season. He will be competing against transfer Brandon Johns to be VCU's starting power forward. During the team scrimmage Saturday, DeLoach logged 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds across 22 minutes.

Jarren McAllister - Tears ACL again McAllister suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, Wayne Epps Jr. of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.
Impact It's a tough situation for the redshirt junior guard, who has now suffered three ACL tears in his college career. It's also the second time McAllister has needed the surgery on his right knee. McAllister missed the entire 2021 season with a left ACL tear, and hasn't seen the court since 2019. No timetable was offered for a potential return to action, but it's safe to assume we won't see the guard on the court for VCU anytime soon, if at all this upcoming season.
