Price Leads La Salle Past No. 20 VCU In 2OTs
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Jordan Price scored 34 points, including 12 in the second overtime, and grabbed 17 rebounds and La Salle beat No. 20 VCU 74-69 on Wednesday night.
Price, who also had five assists, hit a 3-pointer with 29 seconds left in regulation that forced overtime. The Explorers (14-10, 6-5 Atlantic 10) also got 12 points each from Jerrell Wright and Cleon Roberts in winning for the fourth time in five games.
JeQuan Lewis scored a career-high 26 points, including 14 of his team's 15 points in the two overtimes, for the Rams (18-6, 8-3).
VCU played again without scoring leader Treveon Graham because of a high left ankle sprain and struggled offensively.
Melvin Johnson added 13 points for the Rams, but VCU shot just 30 percent.
