RICHMOND, Va. -- The Richmond Spiders men's basketball team received 13 votes in the Preseason Associated Press Top 25 Men's Basketball Poll, which was released Monday. Richmond's 13 votes were the 34th most among all Division I teams. 2021 is the third year Richmond has been represented in the Preseason AP Top 25, joining 2020 (40 votes) and 2010 (17 votes).Â
The only other Atlantic 10 team represented in the poll is St. Bonaventure, at number 23. Richmond will face the Bonnies on February 4 at the Robins Center and March 4 in Olean, N.Y. Both games will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2 and tip at 7 PM. Other Richmond opponents to appear in the poll are Maryland, ranked 21st, and Drake, which received four votes.
