After a 5 day Christmas break, VCU hit the hardwood again at the Siegel Center on Sunday. This time they would host the Flames of Liberty University. This game held no suprises as VCU would lead early and Liberty would never get close as the Rams picked up the win, 85-57.

Senior Melvin Johnson would lead all VCU scorers with 15 on the night, shooting 5-6 from the field and 4-5 from three point land. Junior JeQuan Lewis would follow close behind with 14 points, shooting 6-10 from the field.

Sophomore Justin Tillman would collect 11 boards on the night for the Rams in a very lopsided rebounding effort. VCU grabbed 37 boards compared to Liberty’s 23.
