Team Stats:
Richmond averages 73.6 points per game while giving up 66.1.
The Spiders shoot 46.8% from the floor and 37.0% from 3.
Opponents are shooting 39.9% from the field and 31.1% from 3.
They shoot 73.7% from the free throw line.
The Spiders are being out rebounded by their opponents by 4.0 boards per game and average just 8.5 turnovers per game.
Thoughts: The Spiders are loaded with experience, balance, and talent. They’re 2nd in the league in shooting percentage and 1st in opponent field goal percentage. The Spiders also lead the A10 in turnover margin and assist/turnover ratio.
Given recent events it will be interesting to see how the team responds. I have had this down a loss from the beginning. It would be nice to get this one and finish at 9-9.
