Rhody starts off conference play by taking on Richmond at home. The Spiders come to Kingston with an A10 win under their belt already as they rolled St. Joes by 30+ at home. As we are all painfully aware, Rhody is coming off a brutal loss at Brown. Richmond coach Chris Mooney, who somehow returned for his 15th year at the helm, will have his Spiders ready to pull out an upset victory. Richmond has wins over Vandy, Wisconsin, & Boston College this season. They are led by guards Blake Francis & Jacob Gilyard. If they get going it may be a long day for the Rams. Hopefully we will see some more efficient shooting from Fatts, who is shooting 28% (10% from 3) over his last 3 games. I thought Dowtin’s shooting turned the corner after the Middle Tennessee game, but it fell back to earth with a 3 for 12 performance at Brown. Grant Golden vs Cyril should be a fun match-up. Hopefully Sunday’s game will be the same as the last year’s match-up as Rhody led wire to wire in Richmond.
