Rodriguez scores 28 as Rams avoid Tiger trap
It was the classic trap game setup, the Rams headed to Towson, MD with just a days rest after a huge road win against rival Old Dominion, looking to avoid the letdown heading into a thursday night ESPNU tip against a Hofstra team battling for first themselves.
The Towson Tigers (4-15, 0-9) almost caught VCU (16-5, 8-1) in their trap, but senior Joey Rodriguez consistently bailed the Rams out, hitting big shot after big shot en route to a season high 28 points in VCU’s 80-76 win.
Towson shot a red hot first half, and after constant lead changes, got the game within a point as Dre Conner hit 1-of-2 free throws with 1:55 left to play.
After both teams traded misses, Rodriguez was able to get in the lane for his 28th point of the night, extending the Ram lead to 3 with just 35 seconds to play.
