This Rhody team currently does not deserve a preview, but I will begrudgingly write up a small one. Richmond is an anomaly within the A10 as 3 of their top 4 scorers are forwards. Tyler Burton & Grant Golden are both averaging 15+ while their 4th leading scorer Nathan Cayo is averaging almost 9 per contest. Jacob Gilyard, who seems like he is a 10th year senior, is averaging 12 points & an impressive 6.2 assists per game. He is the straw that stirs the drink for the Spiders. Speaking of straws, the free throw & 3-point shooting for Rhody is the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. If we did a straw poll on this site about Cox’s future with this team, it wouldn’t look good for him. His loss to GW was the last straw. Rhody will be favored by about 1 since they are at home. Rhody will falter because of their shooting as I predict a Richmond win, 74-70. Go Rhody!!
