Richmond Spiders

Postby XinAlbany » Sat Feb 09, 2008 10:27 am

The spiders are arguably the most surprising team in the A10 this year. They are currently 5-3 in conference play and have a very favorable schedule. What are the chances they run the table and finish second in the conference (Behind X of course).

Their remaining schedule looks like this:

Feb 10 St. Louis
Feb 16 @Duquesne
Feb 20 Charlotte
Feb 23 @G. Washington
Feb 27 @St. Bonaventure
Mar 1 Massachusetts
Mar 5 Fordham
Mar 8 @Xavier

Richmond will lose at least 3 more conference games and are no threat to us. End of story.

So far, UR, has beaten #14 UD and #80 Temple at home, and #88 Charlotte on the road.

IF they keep playing like this, the only games out of their reach (on paper) would be against #21 Umass and #15 Xavier. However, they could just as easily also lose to SLU, Duquesne and Charlotte, and possibly Fordham.

The crystal ball is very unclear as to UR's final record.

Duquesne will drill them but I can see them going 10-6 with only 3 more losses which is a great step for the spiders.
