We beat Richmond 64-58 on January 8 at EBA. We were down by 4 at the half but outscored the Spiders 36-26 in the second half to earn the win. Brayden O’Connor (16), Woody Newton (15), and Darius Maddox (10) paced us.
Their leading scorer and best player Delonnie Hunt broke his left foot in the January 8 game at EBA and he has not played since. He was expected to miss 8 weeks. An early March return has been predicted by some.
Dusan Neskovic and Apostolos Roumoglou scored in double figures for Richmond.
