Men's Basketball Post-Game Notes

Feb. 12, 2006

The Spiders have lost four-straight games and dropped below .500 for the second time this season at 11-12. Richmond was 5-6 after a loss to Tulane on Dec. 27.

After allowing just two teams to score over 60 points through the first 19 games of the season, Richmond has given up over 60 points in the last four contests.

Richmond allowed 71 points, just the second time this season a team has reached 70 points on the Spiders, but the second time in the last three games. No. 8 ranked George Washington scored 80 points on Feb.5.

The Spiders dropped to 1-7 on the road and 2-8 outside of the Robins Center.

St. Bonaventure shot 55.6 percent from the field (25-for-45), the best a team has shot against Richmond this season. The Bonnies scored 40 points in the paint.

This was the first official loss to St. Bonaventure for the Spiders. The Bonnies did defeat Richmond 61-55 in 2003, but the game was later declared a forfeit due to St. Bonaventure using an ineligible player. The Spiders lead the series 5-1 and the two teams will meet again on March 4 in the Robins Center.

Senior Kevin Steenberge blocked three shots Sunday, moving him into sole possession of second on Richmond's all-time list for career blocks with 137. He has 54 blocks this season, which ranks fifth on the school's single-season list, two behind Jeff Pehl (1979-83). Steenberge would need 46 blocks to tie Richmond's all-time shot blocking leader Tim Faulconer (1998-02), who had 183.

Steenberge just missed a double-double with 17 points and nine rebounds. It was Steenberge's 11th game in double figures this season and the 34th double-figure game of his career.

Steenberge, who is ninth on Richmond's all-time list for career field goal percentage, made seven of 10 shots from the field. He is shooting 52.9 percent from the field for his career.

Senior Jermaine Bucknor was held scoreless in the first half, but scored 18 points in the second half.

Richmond made eight 3-pointers in the game, the 17th time this season the Spiders have made at least six treys.

Junior Gaston Moliva dished out a career-high four assists.

Senior Jermaine Bucknor and sophomore Oumar Sylla each tied a career high with three steals.

The Spiders are still 9-0 when scoring 58 points in a game.
