The Spiders prepare to rematch rival VCU

By Jack Nicholson | March 5, 2014

The University of Richmond men's basketball team will face Virginia Commonwealth University Thursday night at the Robins Center, but Richmond's team looks a lot different than than it did when it fell to the Rams, 81-70, at VCU in February. When asked how Richmond's team had changed in the past month, Richmond head coach Chris Mooney said, laughing, "Well, I mean, we don't have Cedrick [Lindsay] and, we don't have Derrick [Williams]." Richmond learned in two consecutive days following the loss at VCU that it would lose senior starters Williams and Lindsay for the remainder of the season.

Terry Allen delivers in men's basketball game versus La Salle

By Jack Nicholson | February 25, 2014

University of Richmond head coach Chris Mooney said he had wanted to see Terry Allen play more aggressively following Richmond's loss to George Washington last Tuesday. "I think he just needs to go out with fire, play aggressively and really attack the game," Mooney said of the sophomore forward following Richmond's 73-65 loss to George Washington. Apparently, Allen listened. Allen was one of the most aggressive players on the floor in Richmond's 62-49 win over La Salle University, scoring a career-high 23 points on 9-16 shooting and grabbing nine rebounds. La Salle head coach John Giannini called Allen's combination of athleticism and skill unusual. "There's not many guys like that," Giannini said.
