  • Richmond Men's Hoops Meltdown, A-10 Problems & The Women’s Tournament Defeat
    Mar 9 2026

    Tom and Porter break down a brutal weekend for Richmond basketball.

    The men jump out to a 38–8 lead against Duquesne… and still lose, raising tough questions about turnovers, rebounding, and the direction of the program.

    The guys also respond to listener feedback about Coach Mooney, NIL spending in the Atlantic 10, and whether the conference needs bold ideas to survive in the new college basketball landscape.

    Then they dive into the A-10 Women’s Tournament heartbreak. Richmond falls to George Mason despite a fantastic season, but the Spiders still sit #37 in the NET and the top mid-major in the country.
