Listening to Seth Greensburg tonight on espn Dayton massacre over SLU admitted A10 loading up the schedule for at large bids. Hughes gets 2 fouls early for breathing on Richmonds center. Bet the house on the Spiders. Dambrot should take a technical once the refs begin with their agendas per A10 in preparation of the A10 tourney. Paranoid yes. Hope I am wrong CLK

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

If Dayton plays like they did tonight, they will be a strong entree in the tourney. Surprisingly easy win. Getting hot at the right time?
Leaning toward VCU but rooting like crazy for our DUKES! Defense does win championships.
Let's take Richmond!

This VCU game is going to run long.

Showing some fight.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

Dukes we're looking for a foul call on the last-second shot of the half--TDM did get hammered on that shot.

Yes he did. Dukes like usual not getting any calls, but we knew that was going to be the case once again. Just hope they don't get royally screwed come A-10 tourney time. Not holding my breath though.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

Richmond shot 65% and only up 7. There's hope if they cool off some.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

Richmond cools off from 65% to 70%.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

Good to see Hughes back out there.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

I don't if it's me, but every time TDM misses a shot especially a three the opponent comes down and scores. All year as i've been watching. Go to HUGHES HUGHES HUGHES. Not rocket science at this point.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

Twice we don't come up with a loose ball and they nail a 3.

Acuff Needs To Get More Time

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

Refereeing was a complete JOKE.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

TDM is such a weak spot. I hope he doesn't come back.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

We call off our D and Richmond lobbies for an extra 3 points. Classy.

Amen to that. However, I expect the coach doesn't see it the same way. His shooting has now become awful & his defense is about the same. I vote for much more Acuff. At least there would be better defense & it would help for the future.

Nice to see Maceo going up & down the court. I am sorry he didn't connect on the late FTs. It probably wouldn't have changed the outcome if he did but, it would have been a confidence booster.

If the Dukes played with as much passion in the first 12 minutes as they did in the last 25, they win this game.

Hughes was great. PLEASE, please come back!

Yeah man what a classless act. Hope they play them again and Dambrot ingrains this in his players heads.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

The Dukes effort in the second half was impressive. Hustle, toughness and effort.

Yes I agree, but this team needs an extra chip on this shoulder given the bias reffing in this conference directed especially for them. I hope coach relays that to his players and the fact that clown Gilyard threw up at that three at the buzzer.

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

I wonder why Gilyard took that last shot.
Usually you dribble out the clock.
Trash talking on both sides?

Re: Game Thread - Richmond Spiders

Different positions but Hughes play now is reminding me of Aaron Jackson his senior year
