Remember playing hookie along with my brother from 6th grade that first day. One of our older brothers took us to all three games. It was a blast. Got Nixon's autograph after the Penn State game. He had the flu. He was sitting next to his girlfriend. Who would have thunk they haven't been back since, Also, remember high fiving all the guys down at the court after the Nova game.

Let this be the night we finally drove old Dixie down by breaking the Richmond jinx.

C'mon, Dukes, you can do this.

LET'S GO DUQUESNE!

Not the kinda start you would hope for.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders (A-10 Tourney)

Williams needs a break, 2 walks, a terrible pass and missed 3 shots.. Hey Lewis is heating up.

Kind of like the game here, UR came out hot.  Maybe that long hair will act a fool again.

Need to pick up the D and protect the ball.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders (A-10 Tourney)

Team defense stinks right now and has the second half of the season. Can't guard the three. Hope we don't get blown out by an 11-19 team. You'd think the Dukes would step it up after losing 20 out of 21 to these guys.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders (A-10 Tourney)

Come on guys you can do it. Take them out!

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders (A-10 Tourney)

just able to see live stats, seems like UR isnt missing 3s.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders (A-10 Tourney)

Got to get Williams off the court. He's a turnover machine right now.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders (A-10 Tourney)

First half shooting was ridiculous. Hope they can go cold in the 2nd.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders (A-10 Tourney)

Coach not gonna like the pace of this game as he always says we don't have the firepower to win a high scoring game. Everytime we get close Richmond makes a run. Williams really struggling.

It's called lack of adjustments on defense. This team can't play man to man.

I don't understand when Chaz Brown and a guard switch on defense! It turns into an easy layup or a foul or a pass to the perimeter and an open look from 3! Mind boggling
