Team Stats:
Richmond averages 78.1 points per game (5th in the A10) while giving up 73.4 (11th in the A10).
The Spiders shoot 45.2% from the floor (8th in the A10) and 36.9% from 3 (2nd in the A10).
Opponents are shooting 43.6% from the field and 32.3% from 3.
They shoot 75.1% from the free throw line (4th in the A10).
The Spiders have been out rebounded opponents by 0.7 boards per game and average 10.3 turnovers per contest.
Stats: https://richmondspiders.com/documents/2025/11/6/Combined_Stats.pdf
Thoughts: The Spiders owned us during the CAA days when Dick Tarrant was the coach but those days are long gone. We’ve won 7 out of the last 8 against Richmond and hold a 16-8 advantage since the 2012-13 season. We are 5-5 at Richmond during that time.
They are 2nd in the league in 3 point percentage and have 215 makes on the year in comparison to our 118. Advantage Spiders. Mike Walz seems like he has been there forever, one of a long string of guys that seem to have had 20 year college careers. Do they have anyone that can really hurt us? Not on paper.
Go Mason!
