CHICAGO -- Brandon Rozzell led four players in double figures and VCU made 12 3-pointers to stun Georgetown with a 74-56 win that showed any remaining doubters the Rams do, indeed, belong in the NCAA tournament.

Rozzell tied his career high with six 3-pointers and finished with 26 points, while Joey Rodriguez had 17 points and seven assists. Bradford Burgess and Jamie Skeen added 12 each.

It is the first time the 11th-seeded Rams (25-11) have won more than one game in the NCAA tournament, and they'll now play third-seeded Purdue on Sunday in the Southwest regional.

"Anytime people disrespect you, especially on national TV, it kind of hurts you," Rodriguez said. "We had an opportunity to come out here and prove people wrong and hopefully we can keep it going."

Not even the return of point guard Chris Wright could help the sixth-seeded Hoyas, who were handed their worst loss in the NCAA tournament since a 24-point drubbing by top-seeded UMass in the 1996 East regional final. Wright, who broke his left hand Feb. 23 in the second half against Cincinnati, had six points on 3-of-13 shooting and just three assists.

As if that wasn't bad enough, Wright got knocked in the head with less than 6 minutes to play and briefly had to take a seat on the bench while he popped his contact lens back in.

"They've been doing that all year, making shots," Wright said. "We're not taking nothing away from them, they played better than us and they deserved to win."

The Rams skidded into the tournament with five losses in their previous eight games.
