Womens- @ VCU Sunday 2/23 1:30 PM ESPN+
- Thread starter Section9.RowD
- Start date
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.

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.
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.
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.

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).
In more premature good news St. Joe's leads Mason by 11 at the half.
Loved the cheering when coach came in. How can you not love this team?
Lady Spiders are outright regular season Champions.
St Joes 83 George Mason 69 final

Congrats and incredibly well deserved! Spiders back-to-back regular season championship is first since Dayton did (actually 3 years a row) 2020-2022.
If Spiders win A10 tournament, will be first time since Xavier 2010 & 2011 to have back-to-back regular season and tournament championships.

I remember when some were critical of what they thought was a "legacy" hire by Hardt, that clearly there were better options than Roussell but Hardt was too lazy to look and didn't do his homework.
It's worked out well, I think.

Maggie was absolutely spectacular again today. Total superstar. Clear A-10 POY.
Roussell COY... Sweeney most improved..... and Ullstrom First team. Katie and Addie are tremendous and obviously don't deserve to be left out of any conversation..... and thrilled that Jimenez looks like she can play through whatever injury she's clearly carrying. Whatever happens in the St Joes game.... can't wait to watch them in both tournaments moving forward. Congrats to the staff and players.
It's an absolute pleasure to watch them play every single game knowing how hard they compete and that there's a clear plan against every opponent.

I decided to take a look at the thread concerning Roussell's hire based on Wood's comments. His memory is spot on. The thread contains a video from right after Roussell's hire that I enjoyed watching again.
Never watched that before as I will admit I didn’t pay any attention to Women’s hoops until a couple of years ago. One thing that is obvious is Roussell always had a plan and he has delivered. Hopefully UR can keep him around for awhile longer.
Congrats to the Lady Spiders and the coaching staff for a stepping stone achievement. Hoping to see even greater ones next month.
Go Spiders!
5 years ago, if someone would have said our women's program would be staring down 2 straight A-10 championships and NCAA bids they would have been laughed at. This was a program stuck in neutral, no one attended the games except families, little investment. Just a fantastic job by Roussell.
And to think, we give Mooney probably triple the salary of Roussel, almost all of our NIL $$$, I'm sure all of his assistances are paid way more as well and it just gets sucks into his big pit of mediocrity.

The best part is that next year we might be even better! Doogan, Ullstrom, and Sweeney returning as starters and you know a couple bench/freshman/transfer players are going to step up too.
Roussell isn’t just doing a great job building a team, but building a program with sustained excellence. He and the staff deserve a significant pay raise. I also hope that us opting in the NCAA house settlement means we will also provide NIL support to the women’s team.
