Last season, the Spiders finished the year with a 24-7 record overall and 14-4 in the Atlantic 10, good for second in the conference behind only Dayton.

Led by head coach Chris Mooney, who has been at Richmond since the 2005-06 season, last played in the NCAA Tournament in 2011 when the Spiders made it to the Sweet 16, their deepest run since 1988.
