Good morning, Spiders. Did you know that the men’s basketball team wore throwback jerseys in their game against Davidson? The red throwback uniforms were modeled after the team’s 1985-86 jerseys and are now being auctioned off through February 16, with all proceeds benefiting the Greg Beckwith Foundation. Greg’s wife Julie sat down with Richmond Athletics to explain the mission of the foundation and how it’s expanding on Greg’s legacy.
