Odds on this one getting played?
Richmond is currently 10 - 6 on the season and 1 - 2 in A10 play. They are 7 - 1 at home, 2 -2 away, and 1 - 3 at neutral sites.
History: Including tournament play GMU is 8-6 against the Spiders as a member of the A10.
Wins: NC Central, Georgia St., Hofstra, Wofford, Northern Iowa, Toledo, NC State, ODU, Bucknell, Mass,
Losses: Utah St., Drake, Maryland, Miss St., St. Joe’s, St. Louis,
Canceled/Postponed: Fordham
Schedule: https://richmondspiders.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule
Roster: https://richmondspiders.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster
Stats: https://richmondspiders.com/documents/2021/11/12/Combined_Team_Stats.pdf
Richmond is led by 6’7” Tyler Burton (18.2 ppg & 7.6 reb), 6’10” Grant Golden (15.4 ppg & 6.3 reb), and 5’9” Jacob Gilyard (10.5 ppg & 6.5 assists). 6’7” Nathan Cayo (8.0 ppg) has statrted all 16 games for the Spiders. 6’4” Nick Sherod (7.0 ppg) and 6’0” Isaiah Wilson (4.2 ppg) have both served as the fifth starter this year. 6’9” Matt Grace and 6’6” Connor Crabtree both average double minutes off the bench.
Richmond averages 73.8 points per game while giving up 70.8. The Spiders shoot 45.3% from the floor and 34.9% from 3. Opponents are shooting 44.4% from the field and 35.1% from 3. The Spiders shoot 68.6% from the free throw line. The Spiders are currently out being rebounded by their opponents to the tune of 3.6 boards per game.
The game is on ESPN+.
My prediction: A road game against the AARP Spiders should prove to be interesting. I swear it seems like Golden, Gilyard, et all were around when Bill Russell played for the Celtics. Given our long layoff I don’t see us pulling this one out. Great test for Oduro in the post. AARP 75 - GMU 69.
On a personal note I will be out of action for a week or two (I hope) beginning Monday the 10th. Someone else will need to take on the job of posting the GW game thread and any others that may be rescheduled in the meantime. I hope to be back in time for Dayton on the 22nd.
