Richmond women’s basketball chose to remember the past before focusing on the future Friday afternoon.
Richmond was blown out by James Madison 55-20 Saturday at the Robins Stadium. The Spiders committed five egregious turnovers, as two interceptions were returned for touchdowns by the Dukes and two fumbles near the end zone ended promising Spider drives. Richmond's playoff hopes took a devastating blow with this loss, and although the chances of earning a spot are not nil, they are slim. James Madison, which will face Elon next weekend, has put itself in a great position for a playoff spot with this win.
Richmond lost to the James Madison Dukes 55-20. The Spiders were outplayed in all phases of the game, and five turnovers were the main reason for the loss.

The Richmond Spiders handled business for their rowdy crowd Friday night, as they defeated the Radford Highlanders 64-46 to begin the season. The Spiders were noticeably anxious in the first half, but settled in offensively in the second half to create an insurmountable lead over Radford. The defense was particularly solid, holding Radford under 30 percent shooting in the game.
Anthony dribbles the clock out and finalizes the Spider win. The story of this game was, as expected, Kendall Anthony, who led the Spiders with 18 points and came alive in the second half when it mattered most. The negative for Richmond, though, was its deficit on the offensive boards, as the team had 12 fewer offensive rebounds than Radford did. The Spiders had solid play from reserve T.J. Cline in his first game as a Spider, and Alonzo Nelson-Ododa proved to be a defensive force with four blocks and two steals.

Nancy Lieberman was working for ESPN during the National Basketball Association playoffs when she brought her son T.J. Cline to a game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks. Before she went to the green room to prepare for the television coverage, she left T.J. sitting on the sideline with the specific instruction to “just stay here” while she went to work. Minutes later, Lieberman looked over the shoulder of fellow Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame member Charles Barkley to see little T.J. doing the exact opposite of staying put. Cline had joined the lay-up lines with the San Antonio Spurs.
