Oh yeah oh yeah …. Working to 6-0 and the biggest game at Robins this century - keep me honest …

yeah I tend to be into hyperbole at times .. crazy tense and exciting to be there yesterday and still can't believe I was able to get one row behind Spiders bench directly from Davidson less than 10 days ago. What a game and even the drive back this morning was easy.Not sure it would even be the biggest Dayton game this century. I remember one late 2010 season when we were really trying to solidy our at large resume in Moon's 1st NCAA year.
thanks for finding and sharing the link from their board. "Winston fan" self-described as a Spider fan has done some scouting for GW it would seem ..GW's weakness seems to be perimeter defense. Surprisingly, Richmond's scoring has been balanced this year. They will have a rough night if they don't guard King. This is from the GW message board:
One common denominator in all 4 of GW’s losses this year is uncommonly high numbers of threes made against us and/or career games for someone.
- UIC hit 13 threes and got then-career highs from both CJ Jones and Isaiah Rivers.
- South Carolina made a school record 18 threes.
- Fordham, usually a bad shooting team, made a school record 19 threes and got a career high from Antrell Charlton.
- UMASS shot it poorly in the first half when it was tied, but shot 6-10 from three in the second half and got a career night from Rashool Diggins.
Obviously that is a sign of our defenses lapses, but also shows opponents have to really execute to beat us. I fully expect Neal Quinn to hit a couple of threes (I know he’s never hit 2 in a game, but he hit one against us last year and he may be out there to pull Akingbola away from the rim). I know Richmond likes to keep teams on the perimeter so expect a lot of threes from GW - whether we are on will dictate whether it’s a close game or not.

The concern is we are looking past George Washington and are focusing on Dayton. I can’t imagine that Coach is letting that happen.thanks for finding and sharing the link from their board. "Winston fan" self-described as a Spider fan has done some scouting for GW it would seem ..
I can't imagine King, Hunt, or Bigs letting that get us down.The concern is we are looking past George Washington and are focusing on Dayton. I can’t imagine that Coach is letting that happen.
There two guards scored a lot but idk if its the same guys bc I haven't followed them at all this season. I do remember when Dji was in and locked in on D they didn't score much but Dji also wasn't playing at the level is he now or the mins. Someone on here said something to the contrary and I went back and rewatched so I def remember. We weren't great defensively up top but I think we have much better defenders this year than last. Lets take care of business Wed and keep this web spinning 😀🕷️🏀I feel like Bishop scored about 40 against us last year. They have Garrett Johnson, and Darren Buchanan too (former Spider targets). That is a very formidable trio right there. We really need to be locked in and motivated for this one.
Exactly - very odd .."For some reason, Richmond is on an 8 game winning streak. I am afraid they might be looking ahead to the Dayton game, but George Washington is too good."
My question is...is this really a UR fan? IF so, terrible and his statement doesn't even make sense. "For some reason, Richmond is on an 8 game winning streak" 🙄
Don't forget MaximusI feel like Bishop scored about 40 against us last year. They have Garrett Johnson, and Darren Buchanan too (former Spider targets). That is a very formidable trio right there. We really need to be locked in and motivated for this one.
Could that reason be that we have outscored our opponents in each of those games? 🤷🏼♂️"For some reason, Richmond is on an 8 game winning streak" 🙄
Our guys are taking the one game at a time approach. People on the sidelines view this as a trap game. We are not the same team as in the past! #Go Spiders🕷️🕷️🕸️🕸️Don't want to beat a dead horse here, but totally echo the other sentiments of this being a trap game with the potential big matchup with Dayton looming. I trust our veteran group to give this game our full attention, but I'll be surprised if GW doesn't come out hot and their guards give us all we can handle. Will be looking to Neal to stay out of foul trouble and give us 30 strong minutes to take some of the pressure off of King. I know Akingbola is a solid defensive Center but Neal should be able to take advantage of every matchup in the A10 besides when he goes against Holmes.

I may not being able to resist if Winston continues …someone send Winston a link to spiderfans. We need you on that wall Winston. It's not that expensive to post over here.
Don't Know - first time we have ever played "the Revolutionaries"
since they changed from "Colonials" ..............but they kept the George Washington mascot so not sure how to interpret that?
Looks like the Spider troll has moved to posting on other A10 boards - a new tactic."For some reason, Richmond is on an 8 game winning streak. I am afraid they might be looking ahead to the Dayton game, but George Washington is too good."

I don’t think Winston’s posts meet the grammatical requirements here at Spidernation. /ssomeone send Winston a link to spiderfans. We need you on that wall Winston. It's not that expensive to post over here.
If there was grammatical requirements for posting, I would have been banned a long time ago.Looks like the Spider troll has moved to posting on other A10 boards - a new tactic.

yeah read as well .. someone put a lot of time into the writeupThis is a pretty well-reasoned write-up about the game. They predict a UR win "Richmond 78, GW 68. 18% chance to win (KenPom). ESPN gives us a 10.5% chance to move to 4-2 in conference."

The write-up understates the contributions of Bailey, given his improved confidence and contribution. The Great One, Dick Tarrant, always noted that a player's confidence was vital to his success. Bailey has been the key in developing the team's chemistry. He is the linchpin in the Spiders' run. His efforts have been masterful. Bailey's take to the basket in the last score of the Duquesne game was awe-inspiring. We are fortunate to have his presence and experience on the court. He is a an even better person than he is a player.yeah read as well .. someone put a lot of time into the writeup

Richmond ranks 1st in defensive rebounding percentage in A10 conference play. Rebounding is a big strength of the defense. We are 67th in the country this year for defensive rebounding %, very solid.Rebounding is not a strength
That was impressive. Made me think of @flyder19 to a lesser degree.yeah read as well .. someone put a lot of time into the writeup
Pretty sure "Winston" is already posting here. Easy enough to match up writing styles. (And no, I'm not Winston.)
yeah I tried to register on their site earlier but said no more registrations allowed - Winston joined in 2020 it seemsI guess it's not super obvious to me. I'm disappointed in myself. I was lucky to get into U of R tho. I mean if he brought up Brian Dutcher & SDSU then yeah I would get it.
