Richmond defeats Old Dominion
The Richmond Spiders defeated the Monarchs of Old Dominion University 62-59 tonight in Norfolk, VA. The Spiders were led by Grant Golden who had a great game down low, as well as at the FT line. Oh yeah, he hit the
game winning 3-point shot by the way. He scored 19 leading Richmond, and hit 4 from the charity stripe in the Richmond victory. Early perimeter shooting woes for Richmond led ODU hang around longer than they needed to. The Spiders didn’t hit a 3 until Nick Sherod hit with 4:56 left in the 1st half.
Spiders Move to 10-1
Richmond went 15-19 from the FT line, which is a huge reason for their win tonight. The Spiders had much better energy in the 2nd half, and seemed to get their legs underneath them. ODU did a good job of limiting Richmond’s looks from 3-point range, so going inside and drawing fouls turned out to be the gameplan. It wasn’t pretty, but good...
