Jan. 3, 2007

This was the second time Richmond led at the half in a ACC arena this season. Richmond led until the 10 minute mark against Wake Forest on Dec. 22.

Richmond tied a season-high for 3-point field goals with 11. It marked the eighth time in 13 games that the Spiders have made at least seven 3-pointes. The Spiders have made at least five 3-pointers in all but two games.

The Spiders shot 45.5 percent from the field (20-of-44). It was Richmond's 10th time in 13 games shooting over 40 percent and the eighth time shooting over 45 percent.

The Spiders have had two of their best rebounding efforts of the season against the two most athletic and physical teams they have played. Richmond out-rebounded Wake Forest by four (27-23) on Dec. 22 and was only out-rebounded 28-24 against Virginia Tech.

Richmond had just 12 turnovers, giving them 12 or less turnovers in each of the last three games. The Spiders have had 12 or less turnovers six times in 13 games.

The loss to Virginia Tech snapped a two-game winning streak against the Hokies, but the two teams had not met since Nov. 29, 1991. The Spiders had won the last meeting in Blacksburg on Feb. 4, 1991.

Virginia Tech has won 14-straight non-conference home games and are a perfect 7-0 at home this season.
