Game 31, 2022-23: Richmond, A-10 Semis (3/4)

[MikeUMA]

UM has advanced, will face the winner of Fordham/Richmond.

This season, UM went
2-0 vs Fordham, by 9 in NY bit just 1 in Amherst
1-0 vs Richmond, by 4 in Amherst
Won't be easy versus either one tomorrow.

[Berkman]

Richmond beat Fordham so we play Richmond at 11 on CBS SPORTS. That is CH 315 on Spectrum here in NC.

[bottom line]

A win is a win, but UM played very poorly today. Richmond is a tall team, and the Minutewomen only beat them by 4 at Mullins.

[stevemaz]

take control early. I think if they win today and lose tomorrow they will sneak into a play in game.

[LS71]

Step on that damn Spider! Don’t let them think they can win.

[Berkman]

Game time. Lets get a quick start.

[Berkman]

Great start and we lead 17 - 9 after 1 period.

[TruBluMaroon]

Lousy start to Q2 - no urgency by TV to call a TO and now down by 1….

[Berkman]

We lead at the half 32 - 30. Refs not making many foul calls.

[Berkman]

Looking real good as we lead 55 - 42 after 3 periods.

[TruBluMaroon]

Despite poor coaching by TV…can’t take advantage of things going their way. Fouling to stop the clock and already shooting 2 FT….Doing what they can to let Richmond back in the game.

[LS71]

On a roll and in control!

[Berkman]

Final score is 80 - 60. I talked to a friend of mine this morning and he said that the team that won the regular season championship has lost in the tournament finals 6 years in a row so we will have to get with it tomorrow.

[Sheck]

Regardless of what happens tomorrow three straight championship game appearances is quite a feat.

Rhody is down 41-24 at the half to St. Louis in the other semifinal. SLU seems like a team you don't want to play right now. Might be the best sub .500 team in the country.

[Old Cage]

SLU wins. Rhody came all the way back but no cigar.
