ODU vs. VCU

[Raymond]

This is from the newspaper that covers ODU locally:

Saturday's game mirrored the one played three weeks earlier in Richmond -- back-and-forth, emotional and physical. Each team had a starter foul out -- Vasylius with 3:50 remaining; VCU's Jesse Pellot-Rosa two minutes earlier. The Rams shot a season-low 33.3 percent from the field, including 5-of-16 from the 3-point arc in the second half.

The Monarchs also did a good job of adjusting to Vasylius being in and out of the lineup. He picked up his fourth foul with 12:57 remaining when, after being hacked by Wil Fameni, Vasylius was called for a technical. Vasylius said he "didn't say a word;" Taylor said the explanation he got was that there was some "bumping" going on after the whistle.

Limited to 22 minutes, Vasylius still exceeded his per-game averages with 16 points and 10 rebounds. His workmanlike afternoon can best be summed up by the nasty gash between his eyebrows that required him to sit a few minutes for treatment in the first half.

Heated rivalry game between the top 2 teams in the CAA. There were only 45 fouls called. Hopefully this was one of them:
