Atlantic 10 Announces 2022-23 Men's Basketball Opponents
06/27/2022 | Men's Basketball
RICHMOND, Va. – The Atlantic 10 conference announced pairings for the 2022-23 men's basketball season Monday. The Richmond Spiders, defending A-10 champions, will play an 18-game conference schedule that includes home-and-home series against four opponents this upcoming season: George Mason, George Washington, St. Bonaventure, and VCU.
The Spiders will also host Duquesne, Fordham, Loyola Chicago, Rhode Island, and Saint Louis at the Robins Center while playing road games at Davidson, Dayton, La Salle, Massachusetts, and Saint Joseph's in conference play.
With the addition of Loyola Chicago to the conference, Richmond's four home-and-home series are one fewer than the Spiders played last season. UR's two regular-season games against intracity rival VCU comprise the Richmond Area Honda Dealers Capital City Classic. VCU beat Richmond twice in the regular season last year, but the Spiders eliminated VCU from the Atlantic 10 Championship with a 75-64 win in the A-10 Quarterfinals.
2022-23 will be the eighth time in the last nine seasons Richmond plays a home-and-home series against George Mason, a stretch broken only by the COVID-shortened 2020-21 season. UR split its two games against Mason last season, defeating the Patriots 62-59 at the Robins Center and losing 87-84 in overtime at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Va.
Richmond will play a home-and-home series vs St. Bonaventure for the second straight year after not meeting the Bonnies in a two-game regular-season series since 2014-15 prior to last season. The teams split their two meetings in 2021-22, with the home team winning each game.
The Spiders will resume their traditional home-and-home series with George Washington for the first time since 2019-20. UR played a home-and-home series vs GW for six straight seasons from 2015 to 2020. Last year, Richmond defeated GW on the road, winning 84-71 at the Smith Center.
Dates and times for all 2022-23 Richmond Spiders games will be announced at a later date.
Richmond returns 12 players from last year's A-10 championship team, which went on to defeat Big Ten champion Iowa in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. That includes senior Tyler Burton, the Spiders leading scorer and rebounder and an All-Conference selection last season. 2022-23 will be Chris Mooney's 18th year at Richmond, making him the third-longest tenured coach in Atlantic 10 history.
