Welcome Spider fans. Welcome to another year of Richmond sports. Welcome to the realm of A-10 titles and Sweet 16s, with some pretty great players on some damn great teams. It's where the legends are made and where all the players get paid. (Nah, just kidding).
• Though this may not be as timely as before, the University of Connecticut women's basketball team made history in late December 2010.
