Gavin leads VCU over No. 17 Oklahoma

Former Marist rookie of the year Jay Gavin led his new team to a win over nationally-ranked Oklahoma.
Gavin sparked VCU's offense with 20 points on 6-of-8 shooting. VCU beat Oklahoma, 82-69.
Gavin has emerged as a Rams' starter, playing alongside renowned forward Larry Sanders.
Gavin chose to transfer when Matt Brady left the program for James Madison. VCU had initially recruited Gavin before he chose to attend Marist.
VCU is a CAA power and many think the team is destined for the NCAA Tournament. The Rams are now 2-1, having lost their last game to Western Michigan.
It will be interesting to see how Gavin continues to develop in his young career.
