points and hit the go-ahead layup with 3:59 left to help the Rams hold off St.
Johns 75-69 on Thursday night in Battle 4 Atlantis consolation bracket.JeQuan
Lewis added 15 points for the Rams (4-1), who had lost 71-63 to No. 20 Baylor in
Wednesdays tournament opener. VCU led by eight late in the first half and was
tied with about 8 minutes left in that one.Wed been preparing for that for a
while -- we put a ton into that game, Wade said. It was a little bit of a
gut-punch when we had the lead in the second half and couldnt close it out. So
Im really proud of the way our guys responded.Williams, a junior from Richmond,
Virginia, came into the tournament averaging 7.3 points but hit 8 of 15 shots
and 6 of 7 free throws to go with six assists with one turnover in 34 minutes.We
all came together as a team and was like, `The most energized team is going to
win, Williams said.Williams drive gave VCU a 67-65 lead, then Lewis had a
driving score of his own. Lewis and Mo Alie-Cox went 4 for 4 at the foul line in
the last 13 seconds to help seal the win on a night when both teams blew
double-digit leads -- St. Johns by 13 in the first half, VCU by 11 with about 14
minutes left.Shamorie Ponds scored 18 points to lead the Red Storm (2-3), who
made their first eight shots in the game but shot just 28 percent (8 of 29)
after halftime. The Red Storm had lost to No. 24 Michigan State in its Atlantis
opener after leading early in the second half of that one.I think we played a
good game but didnt finish it off, Red Storm coach Chris Mullin said. We
probably played 25-30 good minutes last game, probably about 30 tonight. Weve
got to get it to 40 minutes.BIG PICTUREVCU: The Rams can at least feel good that
they came up with the key plays in the final 4 minutes of a tie game, a good
sign for a team that couldnt quite figure out how to stay in front of No. 20
Baylor in its Atlantis opener Wednesday.St. Johns: Other than that game-opening
burst, the Red Storm struggled with their shooting again. They shot just 31
percent against No. 24 Michigan State then followed that by finishing at 41
percent Thursday.Weve basically played our fifth game together, so some of that
takes time, Mullin said. Weve just got to keep working at it and break through
it. ... Weve got to keep working and understand we are getting better, were
getting closer.TIP-INSVCU: Alie-Cox scored 15 points... VCU shot 42 percent and
had just nine turnovers. ... The Rams scored 14 points off turnovers. ... Justin
Tillman had 13 rebounds.St. Johns: Redshirt freshman guard Marcus LoVett came in
averaging 23.3 points but finished with 10 on 4-for-13 shooting. ... Bashir
Ahmed scored 13 points. ... St. Johns finished with a 40-36 rebounding
advantage. ... Kassoum Yakwe had six blocked shots.UP NEXTVCU: The Rams will
