You know I have no Spider apparel at all! I think I got mad at Mooney one day and chucked it all a couple of years ago, and boycotted buying new stuff until Mooney was gone. This year gave me no reason to buy anything new until last weekend. I have a scarf and a knit cap but that’s it.

Go Spiders anyway.
 
Let's see who the unsung hero is today. In these games, we always need someone to step up - last time its was Francis Cedric Martel. Today - will it be Goose or Nick?
 
Just glad to be back in the tournament tbh. I was in 8th grade the last time Richmond was in. Having tech playing as one of the hottest teams in the country is fun too. Just hope I don’t go 0-2 in the first round.

Iowa has the best player on the court. In the ncaa Tournament that means a lot. At any rate, safe travels and no injuries. I won’t wish you luck.
Auburn had the best player in 1984 and we neutralized Charles Barkley in the first half then held on and won. I’m sure Barkley remembers the Spiders! Actually, MJ was the best player that year, but Barkley was a force for Auburn.

We make our own luck. Go Spiders catch them in the Webb!
 
These iowa fans will never hear the end of it from me if we somehow win today.
 
We can score. You should hope you make a lot of 3’s. That seems to be your predominant scoring option. Hot streaks always come to an end, and it most often happens when there is the most pressure. Your team is just about due to launch a dud.
We can make a lot of 3s but we don't necessarily have to if Keegan is playing, as he scores a lot in the post. How much will Richmond double him? That will be interesting to see ... I'm guessing they will try it a lot and it opens up the 3s even more.

"Your team is just about due to launch a dud" - We'll see buddy, we'll see. It is about the only way you guys are going to win IMO, but it certainly has happened to higher seeds in the past and it will keep happening in the future. It makes the tournament what it is (and the Spiders are the original giant killer ;-) ).

I was slightly disappointed to see Richmond vs Iowa as I watched the A10 championship for a while before the Iowa game. I like your team. Gilyard is great and I have a soft spot for people my height! .... I like Murphy of Va Tech too. I love the Princeton back door offense. Anyway, here's to a good game and may the best team win. Take care!
 
Iowa like most teams today rely on the 3 pretty heavily and we are no different. If we are cold, I see it being a tight game.

Your best bet is to slow the game down and play great D/hope Iowa misses a lot of shots.

They won't be around to hear it in that case.
I have a one post rule for opposing boards after iowa plays. I’ll congratulate you on a win or thank your fans for a good game and then I’m out. I guess my business with your fans are done then. I just don’t have any real interest in interacting much with opposing fans after the game.

I truly think Iowa has a 7/10 chance in winning the game. ESPN has it over 8/10. Iowa fans recognize there’s a real chance Richmond wins the game. That’s what makes this so fun.

BTW, IF THERE ARE ANY TROLLING IOWA STATE FANS ON HERE, I KNOW MY ONE POST RULE DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU. That’s because you support a loser team.
 
Only two things come from Iowa, and damn if I know what they are.
I'm not sure people are allowed to make that joke 40 years later...

I'm not sure I can even say "Cobs and Knobs"? "Hogs, Clogs, and Slogs"?
 
I think the reality is we only have a real chance if Burton shows up today. He’s played dreadful in a few of our big games this year — let’s hope he learned from these experiences and knows we need him to win.

If Burton scores 20+, I think we have a real chance today.

My revised prediction is Spiders 76, Iowa 72.

Lets go Spiders!

I just heard that Colorado St hasn’t attempted a free throw all game with 17 mins to go against Michigan. The wolverines have shot 10+ free throw attempts already.

Let’s hope the big school ref bias is absent in our game today.

Burton wants to play Providence I would think. He'll be full throttle. Like you, I just hope he's making shots.
