Following the play-by-play feed online while flying. First half stats look incredible, is the defense playing as well as the stats make it seem?
Good for Noyes to have a nice bounce back!
What a great half. Inspiring basketball.
Section9, I’m disappointed that you’re not there.

Mike Walz with 8 first half points! And 3 blocks each for Quinn and Noyes. Also Jordan King continues to be incredible
I feared you would be disappointed …
First half: Successful throat-stomping.
This half: Choke them out.

This team is good. Curb stomp them out in the 2nd.
I feel if we shoot 80% from three while our opponent shots 20% the rest of the season we may win a few games.
On a serious note, think team is establishing serious team chemistry!
If Bigs can stay out of foul trouble, I think he’ll be a problem in A-10 play
We are playing serious defense this year. We are a deep team too. Fun to watch. Anyone can catch fire and tonight it was Bigelow. Wow.
From the stats it seems like 2nd half defense wasn’t as effective, but we couldn’t miss so it didn’t matter.
Really glad the guys got this win after the last two tough games.
This might be a q2 win at the end of the season.

That was fun! Will not shoot like that every game, but fun when we do!
Choke out successful. That was an impressive performance start to finish!
Bailey showed his versatility tonite playing at the 2 and 3
Incredible win. 40 minutes of great basketball.

There is a lot to like about this team. King and Quinn are playing like all-conference players season to date. Bigelow has also improved his shooting from last year and Dji is looking smooth, there are a number of other players stepping it up.
Best defense I have seen from Richmond in a very long time.

Boyden now has the right players to increase pressure
Under 10 turnovers for the 4th time in 5 games. Taking care of the ball plus improved defense will keep us in a lot of games this year, even on nights when we aren't shooting as well.
Alas - I underestimated how much another good night sleep on the Florida East coast would do the team ..
As a Spider fan, lots to be thankful for the last few days on the court and gridiron. Quite the performance tonight!
Safe travels to all. Enjoy the family. Don't eat too much....and lets keep rolling after the holiday!
Go Spiders

Go Spiders
Blindfold them, throw them down a well, toss a 20-lb dumbbell down after them, rappel down, carve out their hearts, bring them back up and feed them to a pack of wolves. Too much?
When SpiderK is happy, we all sleep well.
WOW! Another encouraging performance. Early going but 3rd in A10 at #88 Kenpom. This doesn't look like a 11th place team As most here know not a fan of Mooney the coach, but have to give him credit for whatever the hell he's doing with this squad. Again early on but have played 4th toughest OOC schedule for A10 teams.
A few other things that stood out to me from last night:
- Our three pointers were falling (we shot great - 64%) but we didn't force them (only 14 attempts, lowest number of the season so far). I really don't see us becoming a great 3 point shooting team, so I view last night as closer to the ideal for us than the 30+ attempts from the first game of the season.
- Harris provided some solid minutes. The first few games of the year he seemed like he'd sort of be the odd man out, but I think there is enough basketball skill there that he will make his mark at times this year.
- Roche's confidence is zero right now. He's made way too many 3's in his life to be missing like this. For us to have any kind of postseason aspirations this year I still think we will need him though so here's to hoping he breaks out of his funk. It's a long season so hopefully he keeps his head up and stays ready.
- Dji continues to show why he needs more time. With Hunt out we needed him in more of a playmaking role and he delivered big time (shades of Magic Johnson during part of the second half). I think even when Hunt comes back though Dji has made himself too valuable to not be consistently getting 25+ mpg.

Dji is getting his time. Needs to stay as 6th man...good energy off bench. doesn't matter who starts, its who finishes...plus he can win the A10 6th man and most improved player awards.
