Williams turned in another complete effort with 16 points, six rebounds, five assists, three steals and a block. He was an efficient 5-of-7 from the floor and 4-of-4 from the free throw line.

Junior forward Hason Ward scored eight of his 13 points in the second half as VCU (9-4, 2-0 A-10)pulled away. He also grabbed six rebounds.
