🔼 Dug Deep. The men’s basketball team went toe-to-toe with Loyola Chicago last night, and the Spiders came out on top! Critical three-pointers down the stretch led the Spiders to a 58-56 win. Richmond shot 10-22 from three-point range to improve to 2-0 in A10 play. Jordan King was huge in critical moments, making back-to-back three’s when the Spiders needed it the most. After his shots, Dji Bailey made a three-pointer for himself to push the Spiders to a 55-51 lead. They’ll be back in action on Saturday when they host George Mason.

Spiders In Greece. A group of Richmond student-athletes are in Greece exploring religious traditions, history, and culture.
