On CBS right now. They run the Princeton the way we hope to run it. Fun to watch.

Win or lose today, they are going to the NCAA tourney.

Thanks Call.....didn't know that. I will watch how they run it--------Was watching Duke, but not a game ...yet. NC will be back in the second to make it a game. Not a fan of NC though....

He was an Associate HC at Air Force before he came to Richmond...been there 5 years. Mooney played basketball at ?.....guess where?...Princeton. He has a well coached team and they play good help side defense.

there you go, that's the model. Not just in style of play, but Richmond shares a lot of similarities w/SMU as an institution. Glad to see them make it, I'm taking them in rd 1, no matter what

Yep. 2nd year in a row for them. Not bad for a small, academically-oriented private school in perhaps the richest part of a major metropolitan area.

Like Doh, Mooney got off to a rocky start at UR. First three years were: 13-17, 8-22, 16-15. And UR wasn't as bad, nor was their reputation as damaged, as SMU.

Now they have had three straight 20+ win seasons. Patience paid off for them.

It seems that way and to beat a good team like the Dayton Flyers with authority no less is a good building block for success. Their D was outstanding and could make life difficult for their first round draw. We should get a PonyFans NCAA Bracket with $$ to play...I'm in!

Yeah, well, oh well.

Richmond upset Vandy today.

Wonder how many people had Richmond vs. Morehead St. in the 2nd round?

Had that one on my bracket...Morehead over UL also.

I rode Richmond to the 16 in my family bracket. No such luck w/Morehead

Yeah, but you have connections with the Man upstairs, so your bracket is disallowed.
