ANDREW’S FREE GEORGE WASHINGTON VS RICHMOND PREDICTION

I’ll stick with the Spiders. This should be a pretty fun matchup regardless, though. Richmond barely escaped a scrappy Davidson team in their last outing, shooting 40 percent from the field with a 43-38 rebounding edge. The scoring hasn’t quite been there for the Spiders lately; they’ve been below 70 points in five of the last six games but they’re still getting it done on defense.

As for George Washington, they’re scoring well overall this year with 67 or more points in all 18 games. Richmond is going to have to slow down the pace here and keep the defense stout in order to cover, but I think they’ll get it done. The Revolutionaries will likely make things interesting however.
