Dec. 27, 2005

This was the first men's collegiate or professional sporting event in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina.

Richmond's streak of holding its opponents to under 60 points was snapped at 10 games, as Tulane scored 64 points on the Spiders Tuesday night. The streak of 10 games was the longest since the 1946-47 Spiders held 14-straight opponents to under 60 points.

Richmond is still only allowing 52.1 points per game, which is tops in the nation.

Tulane's 34 points before the half were the most given up by Richmond in first half this season.

Richmond tied a season-high with nine 3-pointers. It is the third time the Spiders have hit nine treys in a game this year.

Junior Gaston Moliva took over seventh on the Richmond all-time list for career blocks when he swatted a shot in the first half. Moliva has 85 career blocks, now one ahead of John Newman (1982-86). Steve Kratzer (1984-88) is sixth on the all-time list with 91 blocks and Eric Poole (1994-98) is fifth with 92.
