RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The 75th annual Capital City Classic tips off Saturday afternoon as the Richmond Spiders’ men’s basketball team hosts town rival VCU at the Robins Center.
Dating back to 1976, the Rams own the all-time series advantage 48-26 over Richmond, although the Spiders swept last year’s regular-season series 2-0 and have won three of the last four matchups.
VCU (12-5, 4-0 A-10) enters Saturday’s showdown red-hot of late, having won seven games in a row. After a sluggish start to conference play, Richmond (10-6, 2-2 A-10) has been lighting up the scoreboard recently winning each of their last two contests by double digits while averaging 88 points per game.
Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.
