We defeated Richmond at their place 87-79 last season after being up by 20 pts. at one time in the second half. Obi was being taunted before the game during warmups by the bare chested baseball team behind the basket. He just used it as motivation scoring 24 points including four dunks, one of which was the windmill dunk that Mikesell imitated in the background! By the way, the same guys who were exclaiming "Obi sucks" before the game were the same ones who asked for his autograph after the game!
I got off on a tangent but the main question I have is I don't even remember Nathan Cayo playing in last years game and he is a Senior this season. He is really long and athletic for 6'7" and played really well against Kentucky! We better be prepared when we host the Spiders on Feb. 5th as they are the real deal this year. The announcers suggested that the backcourt of Gilyard and Francis is the best in college basketball but I'll take Crutcher and Chatman over them!
