Thought I’d get this thread started. Vegas giving a ton of respect for our spiders with UCLA only as 14.5 point favorites as the #1 team in the country playing at home against us. Let’s shock the world on Sunday!

Feels like that's definitely the strategy. Let them score all the 2s they want as long as we're getting 3s and they're not.
UCLA was always pretty good when it was simply recruiting its own players. Now that its stripping other West Coast teams for parts, getting players from Stanford, Washington State, Oregon State and others, it's become a great team.
We have a better coach. Watching her for years in the old Pac-12, Close never distinguished herself but she sure likes to stomp around and gesticulate.

Rotate Camden and Dewey on Betts, keep Maggie out of foul trouble , and take it inside to challenge Betts and find open 3s from all.
However the decks are stacked, we go out with heads held high.
I don't know if it bothers anyone else....but I have not seen 1 tweet from the Men's Basketball account congratulating, retweeting, encouraging, etc. Nothing. I don't expect much there but something come on. u have more followers promote your other bball program. Just odd. Especially since the Lady Spiders have been very supportive of mens team. Roussell was even up in Buffalo in 2022, I spoke to him.
My personal interaction with a former member of the staff is that they are very insular and hesitant to give praise at the expense of weaking their own position. Just a terribly fake good guy vibe.
Go ladies. What a team. I watched fUcla a few times this year. Do think we have a punchers chance to shock the world!!
Yes, Roussell was in Buffalo. I remember speaking with him, too. He's such a great guy.
Didn't some of the men's team come out for the women's A10 tourny games?
The ucla coach was a good, interesting listen.
Ucla not too happy w their round 1 play. Our girls sound ready & know teams have to prepare for the Spiders too.
“If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight.”
Let’s go Spiders. Let’s shock the nation.

GK doing the athletic department's work for them. If I were you, I'd ask for a PT paycheck at least!
Well said - just a sign of mediocre social media more then intent I think but still crummy - glad hey posted today
Lol weird timing huh. Who says they don’t read the board. Of course they do.
RollSpides Mani Benton now Richmond Bball. Lot of material for no credit.
I agree that the UCLA coach was an interesting listen. She is definitely going to have her team ready. Good luck ladies hope the OOC games have helped prepare you but this one is on the P5 home court so it is going to be loud.
I’ll be checking in tomorrow morning. 10 pm start is too late for me like some others have mentioned.
Go Spiders!
What are the chances that the coaches and top players will be targeted by larger schools, after the season is over? Is there that much pull and that much money in women's basketball?
What a class act from all, Aaron is great. Loved his shout out to the AD and President and spouses. How about Mrs. Hallock putting off surgery to be at the game! Don't tell me sports are not important to the Hallocks.
yes, at P-5 schools. I just hope what they have and the lore of a Richmond degree keeps them here.
South Carolina is only going to beat 9-seed Indiana by 9 or 10. Gives me a good feeling about our game tonight.
man the year the men make the national championship game nobody gonna see it
Kareem is not walking through those doors.
Well maybe as a spectator.
And Betts is a modern day Kareem in the Women's game.

Heard Betts interviewed yesterday. She has a rather deep voice.
Yes and in fact deeper than mine. My wife asked who the man was, they were interviewing.
Well I feel there is something not quite right in Denmark. After all we are playing in CA.
Apparently, she has been a very tall girl her whole life.
The blessing and curse of UCLA's Lauren Betts' 6-7 height
Lauren Betts was called an alien, a giraffe. Now she's ready to dominate -- not for the bullies, for herself -- as UCLA goes for its first NCAA title.
