Location: Siegel Center.
Updated Records: VCU 12-4, 2-1 in A-10. Fordham 8-8, 0-3 in A-10.
In a nutshell: Following the halftime break VCU went on an 8-to-0 run that established a nine-point working margin. That run boosted the homestanding Rams to what ended up being a 49-point avalanche in the second half. That scoring outburst followed what had been a lackluster first half performance that had led to a mere one-point advantage (24-to-23) for the homestanding Rams.
Missing from this victorious scenario at the Siegel Center were spectators. Due to what was an ongoing running water shutdown ordeal in the City of Richmond, this Atlantic 10 Conference game was played without a crowd of witnesses in the stands.
