If we win tomorrow night it looks like Miami will be coming our way. Let's take care of business and win another game. Let's go Spiders!
Miami Coming To town
- Thread starter spiderpreacher
- Start date
Also, didn't we establish that posters looking ahead doesn't matter. Its not like we have to prepare for ASU. But very excited to potentially see Miami
Very difficult to sell out postseason games, because they were not on anyone's calendar until a few days earlier. I'd be very happy if we get 6,000 fans there tomorrow night with the same energy as the crowd the other night. If we win, it would be great to see 5,000 + there for the weeknight game vs. Miami.
8legger, the 'operative' word, is 'should'. You may well be right, but if there are real basketball fans in the Richmond area, I'd have thought they would want to see these games. Of course, it's easier now, to stay home and watch it on TV, which didn't use to be the case. It's rare that we have these kinds of OOC games at RC. 5k or 6k enthusiastic fans would be good, sellouts would be better
Hurricanes played Saturday at noon in Miami.They have us on for Tuesday night.A little tight for us given more down time for Miami.They will be at RC tomorrow afternoon working out.
I'd be ok if Rhody won here bit think we want Stanford if we prefer the 7pm slot on Tuesday to the 9pm slot. Stanford would host Vandy if they win (West coast).
Haven't seen them play much this year, but they are interesting. Played a lot of good teams and did very well overall, especially on the road. A few very curious results, like getting blown out at home by Eastern Kentucky. They play a couple small guards too, both 5-11, but their top scorer is a 6-5 guard similar to some of the guys we saw from ASU tonight.
They don't really rebound (only 33 per game, just half a rebound more than their opponents). They have a 7-footer who averages 10 rpg, but they have no one else who averages even 5 a game, which is kind of shocking to me.
One of those small guards, Angel Rodriguez, was their second leading scorer this year but didn't play vs. Alabama because of an injured wrist. Reading on Twitter, it sounds like he is questionable at best to play vs. us because he hasn't picked up a ball in two days.
I did catch half their game the other day, and Rodriguez's replacement, Manu Lecomte, seemed pretty skilled.
I'd say if there's no Rodriguez and we keep the big guy from dominating us, we have a chance to crash the boards a little and win this one with second-chance points. But it will be a pretty big test for us. Looking forward to it.

One more win and we can make it back to New York. Let's take care of business on Tuesday night against Miami. Let's Go Spiders! Keep on winning!
Looks like we have sold roughly 5,500 tickets for tomorrow night already. Hopefully we'll get a near sellout in there. If it has the intensity of last night's crowd, it will make a huge difference. Buy more tickets!
8Legger, hopefully that means 5500 or more seats filled. No matter what, everyone's voices must be ready to be LOUD!!!!!!!!
I just hope it's the type of crowd that sneaks a roadie into its pocket before leaving the house. Let's leave the scrabble and knitting needles home again.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Great game yesterday; back this morning in time to work a few hours today. Can't wait to drive down again tomorrow afternoon. Let's get crazy and support our Spiders! Doggone it! If the Ulla can drive from outside of Baltimore to every game, you locals can surely come out and support our boys in their last home game! Let's hear it for "One Richmond"!
Miami has played 2 NIT games at home(attendance)
NC Central-1,500
Alabama-1,900
They will be a bit surprised by the decibel readings tomorrow night.

Looks like we sold another 600 tickets or so tonight. About 6100 have been sold. Some more movement tomorrow and a nice walk-up crowd, and we will be close to a sellout.
