VCU took care of business on Saturday, dispatching Fordham, 82-63, to stay on track in terms of its NCAA Tournament resume.

The Rams (22-7, 13-3 A-10, NET: 47) led by 15 at halftime, but a 13-0 Fordham run got the margin down to two, at 43-41, with 15:28 to go.

Barry Evans responded with a traditional three-point play on the ensuing possession to launch a 16-5 VCU run over the next four minutes that helped put the game in cruise control.

Jadrian Tracey led four VCU players in double figures with 15 points.
