RICHMOND, Va. — SpiderTV will produce a regional broadcast of 10 Spider Basketball games during the 2025-26 season, Richmond Athletics announced Thursday, with five of those games airing on MASN, four on Monumental Sports Network, and one on WTVR CBS 6.
Voice of the Spiders Bob Black will provide play-by-play coverage of the men's basketball team for a 43rd straight season in 2025-26. He will be paired with former Spiders captain Scott Ungerer, who is back for a second season after making his full-time debut on SpiderTV in 2024-25.
The duo will anchor nine regional men's basketball broadcasts from the Robins Center during the season, beginning with UR's matchup vs East Carolina on November 8 (MASN) and continuing with Richmond's meetings with in-state rivals William & Mary on November 11 (MASN) and VMI on November 19 (MASN).
The Monumental Sports Network will be home to SpiderTV's broadcast of Richmond's Atlantic 10 opener vs George Washington on December 31 and its matchups with La Salle (January 14), Rhode Island (January 21), and George Mason (February 10).
Richmond Athletics will partner with WTVR CBS 6 to broadcast its February 21 meeting with St. Bonaventure to the greater Richmond region.

For the third straight season, a SpiderTV broadcast of a Richmond women's basketball home game will also air on regional television. UR's February 7 game vs George Mason will be available on MASN2.
