Career Coaching Legacy of Logan Martinez (CH2K8)

The VCU Rams were able to rebound Sunday afternoon after a terrible second half performance on Friday against Providence to beat the Rider Broncs. After scoring 23 points in the second half against the Friars, the Rams came out scorching, racking up a scintillating 51 first half points against Rider.

VCU freshman C Ka'Ron Floyd was the star of the game after essentially not showing up against Providence. He scored 20 points and racked up 12 rebounds while also blocking two shots. Given his youth, Martinez will have to be patient with Floyd this year because he has already shown the tendency to play outstanding for stretches while disappearing during others.

The Ram offense was nearly as effective in the second half - they looked as if they were going through the motions, but that can be expected given the large lead that was built up. PG Denver Thomasson had a good floor game, scoring 7 points and dishing out 11 assists.

Rider's offense could never get it going, as they shot 36% from the field and only hit 5/24 from beyond the arc. The defense did perform much better in the second half, but the outcome of the game was never truly in doubt.

VCU takes home third place in the Old Spice Classic and though the team is disappointed it didn't win the tournament, they can be encouraged by the fact that they were able to bounce back nicely after a tough loss in their last game.

Congrats on 3rd place and nice bounce back win after that tough loss to Providence.
