The Va. Commonwealth Rams completely stymied the USC Trojans in the final of the First Four matchups, as VCU used their amazing defense to totally shut down USC. VCU's zone completely mystified USC, as they could barely find any baskets down the stretch and were totally suffocated in the second half. VCU also got almost everyone for USC into foul trouble, as Nikola Vucevic, Marcus Simmons and Jio Fontan all left the game with five fouls.
VCU now moves onto the second round to take on a Georgetown Hoyas team they feel they matchup with real well. Here is the schedule for the next two days of college basketball.
Round of 64: March 17 (Thursday). All times are Pacific Time. Games with a (*) are approximate start times dependent on the finish of the previous game on the network.
