RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Jason Nelson scored 11 points and VCU never trailed after the opening minutes in a 49-47 victory against No. 18 Dayton on Friday night.
The Rams (16-8, 8-3 Atlantic 10) won for the eighth time in their last nine games, despite not scoring for the final six minutes. They held on by holding Dayton scoreless over the last 3:03.
The Flyers (19-4, 9-2) fell to 0-2 in Virginia, having lost 69-64 at Richmond on Jan. 27.
DaRon Holmes II got a clean look at a potential tying jumper for Dayton, but missed in the final seconds. Nate Santos led the Flyers with 19 points and Holmes scored 12.
NEVADA 70, NO. 24 SAN DIEGO STATE 66
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Kenan Blackshear scored eight of his 22 points in overtime and Nevada beat San Diego State.
Tre Coleman made two key steals and the tiebreaking basket in the extra period as the Wolf Pack defeated AP Top 25 teams in back-to-back games for the first time. Nevada (19-5, 6-4 Mountain West) won 77-63 at No. 22 Utah State on Tuesday.
Coleman’s short jumper with 12 seconds left gave Nevada a 68-66 lead. Blackshear added two free throws in the final second after SDSU’s Darrion Trammell missed a 3-point attempt.
Jarod Lucas had 15 points and Nick Davidson added 14 for the Wolf Pack, who led the entire game until the 3:47 mark of the second half. San Diego State (18-6, 7-4) maintained a narrow lead down the stretch in regulation, but Davidson picked up a loose-ball offensive rebound and laid it in to tie it at 60 with 5.3 seconds to play.
Jaedon LeDee had 20 points, seven rebounds and seven turnovers for the Aztecs.
