PHILADELPHIA — All senior point guard Kevin Anderson could do was watch.

He came to Richmond in 2005 and was 37-54 through his first three seasons before his patience in his Princeton-based system paid off with back-to-back 20-win seasons the past two years and a trip to the NCAA Tournament last year. With his team squarely on the bubble for another tournament berth this year, Mooney's latest project that has tested his patience is starting to exceed even his expectations.

Instead, this year's team has exceeded even Richmond coach Chris Mooney's expectations.
