110 • WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
UR Tradition
Editor’s Note: The following story of
University of Richmond basketball is a brief look
at a very proud past. While space allows for the
recognition of only a few players, hundreds of
student-athletes have contributed to the building
of the Richmond program. The memories they
made will never be forgotten
The Making Of A
Legend
The year is 1913, and Frank Dobson takes the
helm of the first-ever Richmond basketball
squad. It would have been impossible for
him to envision the magnificent growth
which was to come.
A young coach named Mac Pitt follows
Dobson. In only his second year, his team
finishes 20-0, the first and only time a
Richmond team has gone undeafted. Year
after year, Mac Pitt produces winning teams,
but, more importantly, he touches countless
lives. In the history of Richmond athletics,
his legend still lives.
Richmond Basketball
Will Never Be The Same
It’s not long before the Spiders’ new home is
filled with excitement. Bob McCurdy
dazzles opponents and fans alike with his
uncanny shooting ability on his way to
becoming the nation’s leading scorer (32.9
ppg) in 1975...
The dazzle and daring of McCurdy is
followed by the yeoman-like work of an
over-achiever named Kevin Eastman ... the
graceful play of a big man named Jeff Butler
... and the bruising power of a young
Richmonder named Michael Perry. The
1980s have begun, and what a decade awaits
1982
The First Game, The
First Giant Killed
The first game of his first season as head
coach of the Richmond Spiders, Dick Tarrant
leads his team to an upset win over
nationally-ranked Wake Forest at the Robins
Center. A giant has been killed and, though
no one realizes it, it is a sign of things to
come. A visit to the NIT, the Spiders’ first
appearance ever in postseason play, comes
at year’s end, and Richmond posts an 18-11
record—the best for a Richmond squad in 25
years.
Many Stars Take
Center Stage
The unenviable task of following that legend
comes to Lester Hooker, and he proves most
capable of such an undertaking. With
Hooker at the helm, the Spiders post backto-back 20-win seasons, a mark that would
stand for 34 years. Under his leadership,
such talents as Warren Mills and Walter
Lysaght thrill growing numbers of Spider
fans and the squad is driven to the forefront
of college hoops.
In the early 1960s, coach Lewis Mills has a
star named Johnny Moates who quickly
becomes recognized as one of the best of his
time, and in the early 1970s, fans marvel at
the abilities of forward Aron Stewart, the
1973 Southern Conference Player of the Year.
There’s No Place Like
Home
And these fans are soon thrilled by the
opening of the Robins Center on December
2, 1972. Through the generosity and
philanthropy of the E. Claiborne Robins
family and because of the vision of E.
Claiborne Robins, Jr., the face of Richmond
basketball changes forever.

Giant-Killers Again
In his first season as head coach at Richmond, John Beilein leads the
Spiders to a remarkable 23-8 season and a first-round upset of South
Carolina in the NCAA Tournament. In the process the Spiders
become the first team to record wins in the tournament as No. 12,
No. 13, No. 14 and No. 15 seed. Southeastern Conference power
South Carolina is the latest giant to fall as the No. 14-seed Spiders
upend No. 3-seed South Carolina, 62-61. It marks the fourth time in
six tries Richmond reaches the second round improving its NCAA
record to a remarkable 6-6.
The Spiders capture their fifth
conference championship as Jarod Stevenson earns conference
player-of-the-year honors leading the league in scoring with more
than 19 points per game. The Spiders finish the season with 23 wins,
the second most in school history, and make their 10th postseason
appearance since 1982.

Richmond’s run ended in a game many thought the Spiders could have won, a 75-67 loss to Indiana. With the
loss, Richmond ended its season at 22-10.
Trailing by as many as 10 points in the first half, the Spiders sliced the lead to just two at intermission, 36-34. Three
times in the second half they held two-point leads, and they trailed by just four, 61-57, with three minutes
remaining in regulation. But Richmond would get no closer, as IU scored its last 14 points from the foul line.
John Newman led three Spiders in double figures with 25 and John Davis ripped down 10 rebounds to lead
Richmond to an 89-65 rout of Rider at Philadelphia’s historic Palestra.
Freshman Steve Alford led the Hoosiers with 22 points, including shooting 10-for-10 from the free-throw line.
Kelvin Johnson led all scorers with 27 points and John Newman added 20 for the Spiders.
Richmond led 40-27 at the half by holding Rider to just 39.1 percent shooting. For the game, Rider connected on
only 38 percent of its shots, while the Spiders found the bottom of the net 60 percent of the time. Kelvin Johnson
finished with 22 points and Bill Flye added 19 points for the Spiders.

For the second time in as many seasons, Indiana ended Richmond’s season in a postseason tournament. This time,
the Hoosiers used a balanced scoring attack and a stifling defense to thwart any Richmond hopes of another
tourney upset, routing the Spiders 75-53 in Indiana.
Seven-foot center Uwe Blab led all players with 17 points, three blocked shots and 13 rebounds. Kelvin Johnson
led Richmond with 15 points and John Newman added 13.

For the third time in two years, Georgia Tech was the victim of a Spider upset bite. But on this occasion, UR was
rewarded with its first-ever berth in the Sweet 16.
25-28 53

Led by Peter Woolfolk’s 27 points and nine rebounds, the Spiders knocked off the Yellow Jackets 59-55. Woolfolk,
in perhaps his best game ever, went 11 of 21 from the floor. Scott Stapleton was Richmond’s next-leading scorer —
with eight points.

NCAA First Round
@ Syracuse, N.Y.
Saint Joseph’s rallied from two points down at halftime to squeak out a one-point victory over
Richmond. John Newman’s 25 points and Greg Beckwith’s 12 assists weren’t enough to stop the Hawks.
The Spiders were stymied by poor shooting (42 percent) and foul troubles, as Saint Joseph’s converted more than
Dennis Scott and Brian Oliver — both future NBA players — led Tech with 15 points apiece. As a team, though,
the Jackets couldn’t solve the UR pressure defense, as their 5-of-22 performance from behind the three-point arc
would attest.

Alaa Abdelnaby proved too big and Phil Henderson too quick as Duke routed Richmond 81-46 en route to an
appearance in the Final Four.
Richmond, which ended its season at 22-10, was never really in contention. Besieged by turnovers and untimely
poor shooting, the Spiders suffered their worst postseason loss in school history. The numbers tell it all: Ken
Atkinson, 5 for 14; Scott Stapleton, 5 for 13; Curtis Blair, 3 for 13.
It would not be Richmond’s year in the NCAAs, but the Spiders were destined to return to better days in
postseason play.

For the second consecutive postseason game, Richmond squared off against Temple, only this time on the Spiders’
home court. Only this time, Mark Macon was held in check. Only this time, Ken Atkinson exploded. Only this
time, Richmond won.
Behind Atkinson’s 6-of-9 three-point shooting (24 total points), the Spiders avenged the previous loss with Temple
with a 70-56 win. Eric English poured in 16 and freshman Curtis Blair added nine.
Temple shot just 33 percent from the field, with Macon having a particularly tough night. He connected on just
five of 18 shots, but still led the Owls with 13 points.

In one of the greatest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament, Richmond became the first No. 15 seed to
knock off a No. 2, stunning seventh-ranked Syracuse 73-69. The Spiders never trailed.
Stacey Poole poured in 16 points and Richmond shot a dismal 29 percent from the field, as the
Spiders dropped a 66-52 decision to the Florida Gators.
Richmond was in control throughout, clicking on all offensive cylinders and confusing the Orangemen with the
match-up zone. Curtis Blair led a balanced attack with 18 points and the man CBS called “Super Sub” — Terry
Connolly — scored 14. Connolly added team-highs of seven rebounds and one blocked shot. He also dished out
five assists.
Richmond grabbed 15 offensive boards, but the put-backs just weren’t falling. Curtis Blair led the team in scoring
with 15 points, but on 4-of-12 shooting. Kenny Wood had even a tougher time, connecting on just 3 of 13 shots.
With the Spiders up by one with 21 seconds remaining, freshman guard Eugene Burroughs stepped to the freethrow line and calmly drained two shots to seal the victory for Richmond.
Florida
Billy Owens led all scorers with 22 points.

Once again, Temple prevented Richmond from advancing in the NCAA Tournament, this time stopping the
Spiders by a 77-64 score. Mark Macon atoned for his poor performance in the 1989 NIT with 20 points.
Jarod Stevenson scored 24 points, including a pair of free throws down the stretch, as 14th seeded Richmond
handed third seed South Carolina its second straight first-round loss in the NCAA Tournament, 62-61, in the East
Region at Washington D.C.
The game may have turned out differently if Kenny Wood had remained in the game. Midway through the second
half, and with the Spiders charging, Wood was poked in the eye by an Owl and could not return to action.
Richmond never recovered and lost by 13.
The Spiders held the Gamecocks scoreless for the final 76 seconds to secure the victory. After a drive by South
Carolina’s B.J. McKie and subsequent tap-in attempt were off the mark at the buzzer, the Spiders gathered at
midcourt to celebrate yet another upset.
Chris Fleming led all scorers with 25 points, including hitting 7 of 10 three-point attempts. Terry Connolly closed
out his college career with 12 points and Curtis Blair added 10.
Richmond’s Marseilles Brown had five three-pointers in the first half to offset 16 points by McKie, who made six
of his first seven shots. The Spiders led by five at halftime and by as much as nine points in the second half.
Richmond committed just six turnovers in the game.
Richmond ended its season at 22-10, despite starting out 5-6.

NIT Opening Round
@ Richmond, Va.
Spiders 74
Wagner 67 OT
It took 45 minutes but the University of Richmond advanced to the first round of the National Invitation
Tournament with a 74-67 overtime opening-round win against the pesky Wagner Seahawks in the Robins Center.
Junior Johnathan Collins recorded a double-double (13 points, 11 rebounds) and three other Richmond starters
scored in double figures to lead the Spiders. A Tony Dobbins high-flying tip-in with just 38 seconds remaining sent
the game into overtime Wagner regained the lead one final time at the 1:51 mark (67-66), but the Spiders answered
with two Mike Skrocki free throws to take a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

NIT Quarterfinals
@ Richmond, Va.
Syracuse 62
Spiders 46
Playing its seventh game in 14 days, the Spiders came up short against nemesis Syracuse in the NIT quarterfinals,
62-42 in front of a sold-out Robins Center crowd. Richmond struggled from behind the arc, shooting 6-of-30.
Trailing by 10 at the half, the Spiders opened the second half on an 11-4 run, getting 3-pointers from Reggie Brown
and Mike Skrocki to pull within three 936-330, but Syracuse went inside to stretch the lead and put the game away.
Brown led Richmond with 14 points while Skrocki added 12.
It was the third meeting between the two teams. In the team’s first meeting in 1991, Richmond became the first
No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

NIT Second Round
@ Minneapolis, Minn.
Spiders 67
Minnesota 66
2003 • NIT
Led by sophomore Mike Skrocki’s career-high 28 points, Richmond advanced to the NIT’s Third Round with a 6766 win against Minnesota in Williams Arena. Skrocki hit 9-of-15 shots, including 5-of-8 from three-point range, to
account for his career high. Junior Reggie Brown and sophomore Tony Dobbins also scored in double figures, both
pouring in 10.
Consecutive layps by Rick Rickert and Dusty Rychart brought the Golden Gophers within three, 60-57, with 1:24
to play in the contest. The hero of the night for the Spiders, Skrocki, calmly nailed two free throws with 52 seconds
to play and open a five-point lead, 62-57. Minnesota responded with a bucket to close the gap to 62-59. Richmond
brought the ball back down the court where Jeff Myers was fouled. He, too, converted his free throws to put the
Spiders back on top 64-59 with 22 seconds to play. After a Kevin Burleson layup, the Spiders’ Reggie Brown
stepped to the line and made two free throws to extend the lead to 66-61. Rychart responded with a three-pointer
with 9.2 seconds to play and cut the advantage to 66-64. After being fouled immediately, Skrocki stepped to the
line needing to make one to increase the lead to three points. He made his second shot and then Minnesota’s
Kerwin Fleming curiously drove the length of the court and layed it in with just 1.2 seconds to play that cut the
lead to one, 67-66. Richmond inbounded the ball the length of the court and the final buzzer sounded.
