Richmond vs. Temple

Dominick Stewart scored 29 points in Richmond's 100-77 season-opening win over UNC Asheville on Monday, and the Spiders settled it in one half, leading 56-27 at the break. Richmond assisted on 17 of its 21 first-half field goals and made eight of 15 threes. It finished with 28 assists, its most since 2015. Those numbers came from a roster with 10 newcomers, the most in any of Chris Mooney's 22 seasons, and only six players back. Sophomore Aiden Argabright is the returning anchor, a preseason All-Atlantic 10 selection who had seven assists and five steals in the opener. Richmond also turned 13 UNC Asheville turnovers into 16 points in the first half. Temple is 1-0 after a 68-56 win over Central Connecticut State that was built on a 17-0 start. Jordan Marsh scored 16 in his Owls debut. Temple scored 36 in the first half and 32 in the second. Richmond scored 56 in its first half alone. With a lineup full of transfers already sharing the ball this well, I like Richmond on the spread tonight.
