VCU beats Dayton 68-56 to win A-10 championship, NCAA bid

NEW YORK (AP) As VCU prepared to cut down the nets at Barclays Center, its band - The Peppas - broke into a rocking rendition of Jay-Z's “Empire State of Mind.”

For all the Rams' success in the Atlantic 10 in recent years, they have had few opportunities to party in Brooklyn.

This time, with a conference championship and an NCAA Tournament bid on the line, VCU earned a chance to celebrate.
