NORFOLK, Va. (AP) JeQuan Lewis scored nine straight points to put Virginia Commonwealth in the lead with under five minutes to play and the Rams held on to beat Old Dominion, 67-64 on Saturday night.

Trailing by four, 55-51, Lewis drilled a 3-pointer and drew the foul. He converted the free throw to tie the game at 55-55.
