Let's keep it rollin', ladies! Great victories to start the A10 over 2 one loss teams!!
Umass Game: Wed 1/10 Morning Game
- Thread starter mr.spider
- Start date
UMass was very good last year, but their coach left for Pitt after the season. Graduated a bunch and quite a few others left even though they promoted from within, so they only have a handful of holdovers from last year's squad.
Maybe to bring in a ton of RVA students like they did for a few years for Men’s games - went to a couple and kind of cool
Except for the high pitch Elementary school squealing that came with it!
I'm a WBB season ticket holder and got this email from the athletic department a couple of days ago:
Next Wednesday's basketball game against the Minutewomen of UMass at 11:00am will serve as Education Day. We are going to have more than 1,200 students (kindergarten to 8th grade) in attendance and we are designating sections for them in the Robins Center to ensure that each school is staying together.
While we understand seating is general admission, this will be the only game that we assign seats, but we didn't forget about you! As a season ticket holder, we wanted to make sure you had some of the best seats in the house! So for this game, we ask that you please sit in the risers and courtside seats located in sections 16-18. Please reference this image to see the season ticket holder area highlighted in yellow.
We would also like to note that it may get very loud in the arena. Should you have any further questions about this event, please do not hesitate to contact us at athleticsmarketing@richmond.edu.

Yeah, pretty common in the women's game due partly to the much lower demand for tickets most places. Spiders played one of these games at Elon last season, think they played one at GW the year before too.
Yeah, it makes sense with the low demand for tickets. It's a good outing for the kids and adds a little exposure.
"...it may get very loud in the arena." 🤣
Who's going to a basketball game expecting total silence??

It's a different kind of loud. It's a bunch of voices that haven't changed yet, and way too much energy to let out. I can't make it because of work, but if you go, consider earplugs.
Forgot that we also played one of these games already this season, at Gardner–Webb. They had over 2K in attendance for their education day game where the Spiders rolled to victory.
So the team should be ready for the experience, although the kids should be cheering for the right team this time.
Edit: The season opener at Duke was also an education day!

If the Spiders could cut down on the bad turnovers, they'd be running away with this. Still, starting to build a lead.

Spiders have a history of travels and turnovers in general. It's been improving over the course of Roussell's tenure, but sloppiness still rears its head once in a while. I guarantee it's a point of emphasis for him in the locker room right now.
Spiders win, 79–65, but they sure had to work for it.
Really tough schedule to begin league play. Go Spiders! Keep it rollin'
Spiders slipped three spots to 53 in the NET.
Couple of big moves in the neighborhood after Mason absolutely destroyed Davidson yesterday. Patriots snuck ahead of us by moving from 68 to 52, while the Wildcats fell behind us in going from 45 to 59.
