Can we keep Aaron around long enough so that he can coach his daughter? We need to convince her she wants to play ay Richmond.
Massive game against the Hawks on Thursday. I hope we continue to have a big crowd for that game. Should be a really good one.
I've watched so many men's games, I think I've forgotten what good well coached basketball looks like. The women are an outstanding watch on both ends of the floor.
I really enjoy watching them play. They do get sloppy at times but their ball
movement is best I have ever seen with a UR women’s team. Just look at 3 starters
returning next year and a few decent reserves. Hopefully some recruits or transfers will
fill in for Budnick and Hill and keep us at top of A10.

From Duquesne Coach
QUOTABLE
"This is one of the days when you go to the office and you learn a little about yourself, your team, and you get your teeth kicked in and that's what happened today," head coach Dan Burt said. "We certainly didn't play our best basketball by any stretch. I thought before the game that we had a really good game plan, and we were well prepared for it. We knew what they were going to do. They don't really deviate from what they do, and we couldn't stop them. I've been in the Atlantic 10 for 18 years as an assistant and as a head coach, and that's easily one of the three or four best teams that I have seen. They have positional size, they shoot the ball so beautifully, and they move the ball even more beautifully. That's a great basketball team that we played today with tremendous veteran experience. I will say kudos to our team for never quitting and playing with great effort until the end of the game. We won the fourth quarter with taking Meg out, who never comes out of the game, and them having starters in at the three-minute mark. So, I'll take that away that was a good sign, but obviously very disappointed. And we'll wash this off at midnight because we must prepare for UMass."

what's even stranger is playing them twice in the second half of the season...usually if your're playing a team twice the meetings are split...one in the first half and one in the second half of the regular season.
I believe Women's schedule is like the Men's...there's several opponents each team plays twice...we've played Dayton twice already...will play VCU again and St. Joseph's...
Big game Thursday night. Mason and the Hawks won't give us any breathing room!
Go Spiders!
4 of final 6 are at home, which is nice, but 2x against St. Joe's and then Davidson isn't bad and you can never consider VCU a gimme. Still plenty of tough games left, but fantastic to be rolling like this on a 10-game winning streak.
Agree that Thursday's game is absolutely huge. We already have the win over Mason in our sole meeting of the year, and would love to assure no worse than a split with St. Joe's and push the lead over them to 1.5 games with a win on Thursday.
Joe's has a really tough final 5 games with 2x against us, their second Mason game, and Rhode Island not the road who can be tough.
Mason also has a tricky tough finish with their second game against Joe's plus URI, Davidson, and Duquesne mixed in there.
So nobody is a position to just cruise the rest of the way...gotta keep the intensity up.

I don't know either, but that would have been my guess. One daughter was on bench wearing a Richmond jersey.
Can money from the Spider Collective be used to pay coaches? Have to assume Rousell's name will come up in the off-season coaching carousel, but can we entice him to stay with some big time money. My guess is he making 400K, maybe 500K and that is a just wild guess out of the air. But if you could increase that to 800K or more, that may give him some pause before leaving. No need for a 10 year deal, but just increase the money and maybe increase the money into the program and see if UR can become a top A10 team year in and year out and put together a streak of NCAA appearances.
