I bought a bundle of vouchers at the start of the season, $50 for 14 vouchers.

 

[bullfrog91]

Vcu website or box office..anyone have a better tip?

 

[urfan1]

If you want to have fun watching Richmond basketball, watch the women destroy VCU today! Guaranteed enjoyable viewing

VCU giving the Spiders all they can handle so far, all tied up at 28 midway through the second.

Spiders shooting well overall, but not doing much from outside. VCU is hitting some threes and racking up the offensive rebounds. Spiders getting some steals to offset and taking care of the ball themselves, but need to clean up the defensive glass and get the deep ball going more.

 

[Ferrum Spider]

It’s so nice to show up at costco arena and talk smack and knowing your squad isn’t going to be blown out. As a rivalry game should be.

 

[SFspidur]

Nice stretch there, Spiders with good ball movement and cutting to get three straight buckets while forcing a shot violation and a travel late in the shot clock at the other end. VCU takes a timeout with the Spiders up 34–28.

 

[spiderstudent17]

Spiders up 35-34 at half.

 

[SFspidur]

8 threes for VCU in the first half, which is why the Spiders are only up 1 despite shooting 60%.

 

[Ferrum Spider]

Spiders will win by 10.

 

[SFspidur]

Turnovers starting to even out...Spiders need to make better decisions with the ball. 43–41 UR midway through the third.

 

[SpiderLaw]

Too close for comfort - VCU playing with no fear and nothing to lose

Overcommitting on defense and leading to easy layups we’ll be fine. I wish our mens team would play this hard when overmatched, but we should cruise here. Maggie is carving them up.

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders opened up a 9-point lead but missed a few threes that would have pushed it to double digits. 50–43 through three quarters. Doogan has 25.

Doogan is a beast today. Love her game.

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders finally get that double-digit lead...59–49 with under 6 to play. Timeout VCU.

 

[SFspidur]

VCU can't find a bucket...9–0 Spider run over the past 4 minutes pushes the lead to 15 with 2:27 to play.

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders win, 68–55! Doogan finishes with 33.

1-seed and at least a share of the regular-season championship secured. Mason and Joe's tipping off at 4pm, and if Mason loses we clinch the outright title.

[urfan1]

Spiders will win by 10.

you sold us short we win by 13. BTW the announcers said that evens the rivalry 47 all, that's the way a rivalry should be (unless we dominate).

 

[Section 204and5]

In more premature good news St. Joe's leads Mason by 11 at the half.
