A skeptic might need a high-powered microscope to detect any flaws these days with Virginia Commonwealth University basketball.

“Havoc’s” cup runneth over.

The Rams are ranked 15th nationally (as of Nov. 17), already have routed a big-name foe in Tennessee and are eyeing more ESPN national exposure in Brooklyn, N.Y.

As part of the Legends Classic, VCU will play Villanova Monday, Nov. 24, at the Barclays Center in New York and will take on either Michigan or Oregon on Tuesday, Nov. 25.

The Rams have never met Villanova or Oregon. VCU lost to Michigan in the 2013 NCAAs.

VCU’s long-range future also is glowing.

During the early signing period, coach Shaka Smart got signatures from blue-chippers Kenny Williams at Henrico County’s L.C. Bird High, Tevin Mack of Dreher High in Columbia, S.C., and Jordan Murphy of Brennan High in San Antonio, Texas.

Williams rejected an offer from the University of North Carolina to become a VCU Ram. Mack’s offers were from the likes of Connecticut, South Carolina, Clemson and Georgia.

The Rams opened the season with a convincing 85-69 win over Tennessee on Friday, Nov. 14, in the Veterans Classic in Annapolis, Md. VCU led 48-30 at halftime.

Junior guard Melvin Johnson drained five 3-pointers and had 23 points to go with three steals and two assists.

Senior Treveon Graham added 15 points and a career-best 14 rebounds.

Graham is one of 50 players named to the Wooden Watch List. The Wooden award goes to the NCAA’s top player.

In Annapolis, the Rams’ touted freshman Terry Larrier scored 11 in his college debut.

As a Legends Classic tune-up, the Rams face Maryland-Eastern Shore 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, before what will be the 51st consecutive Siegel Center sell-out.

The first-year UMES coach is Bobby Collins, succeeding Frankie Allen (42-139 in six seasons). Collins formerly coached at Hampton and Winston-Salem State universities.

While UMES (formerly Maryland State) has struggled of late, it does have a claim to fame as the first HBCU to be nationally ranked in Division I, and the first earning an invitation to the National Invitational Tournament.

In 1974 under coach John Bates, the Hawks were invited to the NIT at Madison Square Garden, where they defeated Manhattan and lost to Jacksonville.

Finishing the 1974 season 27-2 and as MEAC champs, UMES was ranked as high as 19th by the Associated Press.
