For the first time in program history, men’s basketball beat Richmond 56-53 last night. Richmond was an NCAA Tournament team last season.
The Shockers lost to Alcorn State at home last week. Prior to the Richmond game, head coach Isaac Brown said he thought his team had more energy in practice.
“I thought everybody in practice had more energy,” Brown said. “They were talking, they gave more effort. And that’s what you got to do in a game. You can’t just do it in practice.”
That effort from practice translated onto the court for the Shockers.
