Richmond Spiders
Richmond got its shot against Dayton on Saturday but could not pull the upset at home, instead losing 87–79.
The Spiders played without leading scorer Blake Francis, who is out for six weeks, for the fourth consecutive game. It was just their first loss since Francis went down, though.

Jacob Gilyard was on fire early and finished with twenty-seven points in all forty minutes. The nation’s steals leader finished with four assists and three swipes on the defensive end in defeat.
Both Richmond’s conference losses this season have come at home, albeit against top competition in Saint Louis and Dayton. It has won all three of its road games against Rhode Island (the Rams’ only loss in conference play), Davidson and George Mason.
If it can find a way to win this game across town at VCU, it will be in excellent position with a long stretch of winnable games coming up and Francis hopefully no more than a month away from returning.
Francis’ return will go a long way in determining 1) whether Richmond gets into the NCAA Tournament and 2) whether it will be a threat to make a run.
Chris Mooney is an excellent coach and the Spiders have a little bit of everything with Francis healthy and on the floor. This could be a sneaky second weekend team at full strength.
VCU Rams
Dayton is undefeated at 7–0 in the Atlantic 10; Rhode Island is 6–1; then Duquesne, Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth come in tied at 5–2.
By Sports-Reference’s Simple Rating System (SRS), the Rams are the best of those three and even better than Rhode Island. VCU is second only to Dayton by the SRS in the conference.
It has won three games in a row by double-digits over St. Bonaventure, which is in the top half of the conference standings, and at St. Joe’s and La Salle.
The two losses came in consecutive games vs Rhode Island and at Dayton. The Rams go to Rhode Island in the game after this one and host Dayton in the middle of February.
In the non-conference, VCU lost at Wichita State and a pair of neutral-site games on consecutive days to Purdue and Tennessee by three points each.
The defense has forced over 100 more turnovers than the offense has committed and VCU’s shooting numbers are about as impressive as they’ve been over the years. It shoots nearly thirty-five percent from three this season and is well within the top third of Division I.
