VCU defeats Richmond in A-10 semifinals

With 46 seconds standing between VCU and its fifth consecutive trip to the Atlantic 10 tournament championship, Justin Tillman’s dunk, giving the Rams a nine-point lead over Richmond in overtime, reverberated throughout PPG Paints Arena.

Senior guard Jequan Lewis added three free throws as VCU took down Richmond, 87-77, in the semifinals Saturday.

As VCU fans usually preaching “havoc” fell quiet, Lewis hit a 3-pointer from the corner to tie the game at 71 with 25 seconds to play in regulation, forcing overtime.
