The Rams and the Spiders are both struggling a bit early this season. UR is at 4-4 and VCU is at 3-3. Hopefully for all us of basketball fans this is the time to work the kinks out. Anyone have any thoughts on what is going wrong so far?

Spiders pull off a last second win!

The Richmond Spiders Men’s Basketball team evened their record to 2-2 last night in some heroics by freshman Justin Harper who hit a big 3 pointer with 1:15 left to play in overtime to give Richmond the lead over East Carolina. The Spiders held on to win the game 67-65. Read more here.

Update: The Ravens won their game against the Lehigh Valley (PA) Steelers 34-7. They now travel up to PA next Saturday(the 17th) to play the Conshohocken (PA) Steelers for the EFA Northern Regional Championship. As a former Baltimore resident it does my heart good to get to see a Ravens team beat up a Steelers team after last week.

Spiders put up a fight against Memphis

It should be an exciting year for local college basketball if the last couple days are any indication. Our UR boys fought for a tough win against Maine and then looked pretty impressive against #3 Memphis for most of last night. They were leading the game with 13 minutes to play before fab freshman Derrick Rose led Memphis on a run to take the lead and put this game away. The Spiders were led by David Gonzalvez who had 25 points and shot 4-of-7 from 3 point land. Click here for more.

College basketball starts!

UR actually plays the first Division I college basketball game of the regular season tomorrow afternoon against Maine as part of the 2k Sports College Hoops Classic benefitting Coaches vs. Cancer in Memphis, TN. If the Spiders win tomorrow then they play the winner of the UT-Martin/Memphis game. That could lead to us playing #3 Memphis on Tuesday night(on ESPNU if you have it). It could be a very good indication of how good we’ll be this year.

For those who are want a local game you can go see then come out to the Seigel Center tomorrow(Monday) night where VCU will play local(and DII powerhouse) Virginia Union in it’s final exhibition game.
