OPINION: A love letter to Spider basketball

6 days ago | thecollegianur.com | Jimmy James

Editor's Note: The views and opinions expressed in this article do not reflect those of The Collegian. It’s hard to describe exactly how much University of Richmond basketball means to me. If you walked into my Gateway Village apartment room on campus, you’d definitely see it in the Grant Golden jersey hanging in my closet or the Matt Grace flag hanging on the wall above my bed. But to put it in words is a much more difficult task.

Trodding back down to the other end of the court, junior forward Maggie Doogan smiled. There were four and a half minutes to play in the fourth quarter, and a made 3-pointer had just brought her scoring total to 30 on the night. Surprisingly, Doogan missed four of her first five shots of the contest, but it didn’t take much longer after that for the University of Richmond women’s basketball team’s leading scorer to make her mark at historic Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, Calif.
