Short-handed Akron routed by No. 5 seed VCU 88-42

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Akron knew it would be short-handed in the NCAA tournament, playing without suspended point guard Alex Abreu.

The Zips had no idea, though, just how hindered they would be against VCU because of bouts with the flu and one player's bad back.

The Rams set an NCAA tournament record that stood for about an hour, throttling Akron 88-42 on Thursday night for the largest victory by a team seeded third or lower in the NCAA tournament.
