2025–26 Spider men's basketball schedule

[*23*]

I see they are playing UC Irvine. Seems like, other than the travel distance, that would be a mutually beneficial opponent for Richmond. I have seen in the past that Curtis Blair officiated a practice of ours, so obviously some type of relationship with moon. And Curtis was HS teammates with Irvine coach. But alas, I know it is asking way too much to use connections and think outside the box scheduling.

Took a peak at Furman board, looks like our "small" lineup could be put to the "tall" test right away. One predicted starting lineup up for Furman goes 6'4, 6'7, 6'7, 6'11, 6'11.

Really wish we would value above the rim basketball more.

97 - You do realize that there are a bunch of us old farts who are still on this board and are very much alive. And not all of us wear red sweater vests.

Hooray for the old timers. I definitely wouldn’t have guessed there have been 55 games between the 2 opponents, but since the last game was 49 years ago I shouldn’t be surprised. Also, would have lost a bet on which team has won more games and it really isn’t particularly close.

I guess the Spiders just made it in under the half century expiration date for an official rivalry.
