The sun set here in Richmond at 4:56 pm, which means winter’s coming and Spider basketball is fully underway. Three games in, we now have a small sample size to break down, analyze and pick apart (until January hits and everything I’m writing is completely wrong, but hey, we’ll get there when we get there). With that in mind, I want to explore four topics I think fans should follow as the season goes on.
1) Offense
To say the offense has been spectacular thus far is an absolute understatement. Richmond’s 94.3 ppg is SIXTH in the nation as the team is yet to dip below 90 points in a game. The distanced three-point line doesn’t seem to have hurt the Spiders so far, who are shooting 42.5 3FG%. Nick Sherod’s stroke looks as good as it’s ever been, shooting 52.6 3FG% on 9.3 attempts per game. His seven three pointers against Cal State-Northridge (on nine attempts) are tied for the 2nd most in a game in program history. Even though CSUN is #238 in the country...
