10* Tourney Takedown
(NCAAB) Richmond vs. Providence,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -110.00 Richmond (Away)
Result: Loss
Tyler Burton is the right guy for the Spiders to take over here - he has been playing well all season with 16pts and 8 boards /game. Richmond is great on the block out, they take up space, and they also find ways to grab offensive rebounds, even vs teams that box out well. They just have to make sure to pass the ball - and not stand still when Burton dribbles the ball. Providence will be facing a tough Richmond team that doesn't make a lot of mistakes, and Richmond will be able to make it difficult for the Friars to take it to the rim with results. Richmond has totally turned a corner on the defensive end, holding elite offenses Iowa and Davidson to under 0.95 points per possession. Experience and a great point guard is often a recipe for success in March as Richmond is currently showing, and the surging Spiders have enough to beat a Providence team here on Saturday evening.
