Spiders cruise past Spartans, 75-60, for seventh win

By Will Offit | December 10, 2011

After losing to the University of Virginia Cavaliers, 69-56, the Spiders had a chance Saturday to redeem themselves in front of their home crowd, playing the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and they did just that, winning 75-60. While the Spiders led throughout the majority of the game and won every statistical category, they struggled early during the first half. The Spartans employed a full-court press and kept the game close, forcing five Richmond turnovers in the first nine minutes. "We weren't being very aggressive early on when the press was put on us," Spiders coach Michael Shafer said.

By David Weissman | December 9, 2011

Richmond point guard Cedrick Lindsay's near-perfect night shooting wasn't enough to overcome his team's turnover and foul issues.

By Andrew Prezioso | November 22, 2011
