Richmond wins South Padre Island Invitational title
SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas -- No matter what else happens this season, the University of Richmond can claim a basketball championship.
The Spiders beat Missouri 59-52 last night in the final of the South Padre Island Invitational, overcoming foul trouble and the Tigers' constant defensive pressure. This victory mirrored UR's 63-62 win over Mississippi State in Friday's semifinals. Richmond gained a lead, withstood an opponent's comeback, and finished strong behind the ball-handling of junior guard Kevin Anderson, who was named tournament MVP.
Spiders' guard David Gonzalvez and forward Ryan Butler were also named to the all-tournament team.
