VCU beat the bejeezus out of Dayton on Friday night at the Siegel Center, getting a 99-73 win that pushed the Rams up five spots in the NET.

VCU (18-6, 9-2 A-10, NET: 47) got 26 points from Jadrian Tracey (9-of-12 FG, 6-of-9 3FG).

Dayton (15-9, 6-5 A-10, NET: 95) has lost five of its last six – four of those losses coming on the road.

Nobody significant is injured – just a rough patch.

This one was never close – VCU led 50-27 at the half, and led by as many as 35 in the second half.
