I posted some stuff about this a couple of weeks ago, but I saw Richmond when they played (and lost) at Davidson. They are clearly not the same team that they have been the past couple of seasons. During their warmups before the game, every single player was shooting three-point shots during standard layup line drill. I figured they'd come out and fog up as many threes as they could, but they really didn't take that many during the game.
They also appeared to be pretty guard-dominant. Their best two players/scorers were guards, one of which is a little waterbug type point guard. I think he had about 17 points, most of which came on little floaters in the lane. The refs also sent him to the line a fair amount, as even the slightest contact would send him sprawling around.
None of their bigs made much of an impression--they've got some athletic players, but Davidson owned the glass for the most part. In fact, Davidson was pretty clearly the better team and controlled the game as such. Any normal Wake Forest team would thump a team like this Richmond group without much trouble, but as we know, things are far from normal in the basketball program right now.
