Richmond, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - No. 15 VCU started the game with an 18-0 run and overwhelmed Maryland-Eastern Shore in a 106-66 win on Thursday night.

Unlike Tuesday's win over Toledo that saw them trailing at halftime, the Rams (3-0) avoided a slow start thanks to their Havoc defense. They forced four turnovers and made their first seven shots on their way to an 18-0 lead 3:40 into the game.

The Hawks later cut the lead to 12 but were never able to get within single digits. The Rams ended the half on a 23-4 run to make it 61-30 at the break.

The Rams did not shoot quite as well in the second half, but continued to expand their lead to the final 40-point margin. Terry Larrier led them with 21 points in just 20 minutes on 7-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-7 on 3-pointers. Treveon Graham added 17 points in 15 minutes.

The bulk of the scoring by Maryland-Eastern Shore (1-3) came from just three players. Devon Walker led the Hawks with 21 points on 7-of-11 3-point shooting, Devin Martin added 20 including 11 from the free-throw line, and Michael Myers chipped in 14.
