Nathan Cayo: First points
- Thread starter Gallipoli
- Start date
Cayo and Burton were very active. Cayo on offense and Burton on defense. Burton needs some ally-oops thrown his way. Dude can sky!
Cayo might get an NBA tryout if he keeps this up.
Love Cayo, great job. No translation to the NBA, but he is a UR legend!!

It was a very impressive offensive performance. It would have to rank in the top of all UR offensive efforts of all time.
I remember that time we had six guys on the court against VCU. That was quite an offensive performance.
Cayo had a great game against Kentucky. They had no answer for Cayo.
None were as good as Cayo’s late dunk over two defenders...
That was glorious. I don't think I've ever seen a Spider do that against a ranked team, especially as a signature play at the end of a win. Over TWO dudes!
Kenny Wood against Syracuse in NCAA tournament jumped over a defender with a dunk
Nathan Cayo shooting 77.3% from 2. But only 91st in the NCAA?
Cayo just continues to impress and plays better year after year. Huge jump last year. And following that up by being better again this year. Struggled to get his shot off in the first half and just turned it up a notch in the second, just dominating and taking his time backing down guys in the post. Love his game and confidence.
Cayo had a different role last year. Here is a player who does everything his team needs of him.
Only 2 of the top 100 in 2FG% have taken over 20 attempts, Cayo and leading NPOY contender Luka Garza. Some in the top 100 are only 3 for 3... If Cayo keeps this up he will be in the top 5 by the end of the season, but it will be really tough to continue to shoot at this pace.
Cayo has always (okay, not his freshman year, but since then) been an efficient scorer...he's second in UR history in field goal percentage, up to 57.3% now. Kratzer is #1 at 57.8%.
For his efforts , Cayo was named Bluegrass Tournament MVP. Congratulations is in order!!
How could he NOT be? He was unstoppable and played a complete game defensively as well as offensively.
Glad he’s on our team.
Cayo named A-10 co-POW alongside Perkins.

Spiders play on courts that appear flat, until Nathan Cayo's downhill blitzes
Basketball courts on which the University of Richmond competes appear flat until Spider Nathan Cayo gains possession at the high post. Then the floors seem to tilt downhill for some
Perkins was incredible too and could have been solo POW, but I'm glad they honored both.
It is fitting that Cayo scored the first points of the season. He has really improved his game. He should have a lot of confidence to face what lies ahead.
Last year I was bragging to all my friends how Cayo went from being an 50% free throw shooter two years ago to 80% last year. This year so far 5-15. Really??? This kid needs a coach in his ear.
He is also 24-34 (70%) from the field.
He faced his toughest game last night. UNI was focused on stopping him and was double and triple teaming him on the baseline.
I’m sure they will watch the tape and come up with some ways for him to pass out of that kind of attention. Then teams will have to back off and he will start to get his chances around the basket again.
His quickness, ability to get to the basket off the dribble, and ability to finish around the rim has been a problem for a lot of 4 that we’ve played so far.
He just needs to stay patient and not pick up any cheap fouls out of frustration. We need him on the court.
