The Spiders have relied on T.J. Cline and ShawnDre’ Jones all season, and it was no different coming down the stretch in a tight game with the Golden Grizzlies.
Oakland turned a five-point half time deficit into a seven-point lead with just under eight minutes left in the game. From there, Cline and Jones dominated in their final game in the Robins Center. Jones (17 points, 3 assists) hit a slew of jumpers in the final few minutes while Cline (25 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists) sealed it at the free throw line.
Martez Walker (25 points) converted a four-point play with under 30 seconds left to bring Oakland within one point. But Cline, the A-10 Player of the Year, hit three free throws from that point ice the game.
The Spiders advance to the quarterfinals to play TCU in Forth Worth. The only Big 12 team Richmond played this season was Texas Tech on Dec. 17, where the Spiders took a seven-point loss at home. TCU beat Iowa on Sunday to reach this point.
Richmond advanced as far as the quarterfinals in the 2014-15 NIT before falling to Miami, and missing a chance to play in Madison Square Garden.
Oakland ends the season at 25-9, its most wins since 2010-2011 and first time its had single-digit losses since 2009-10. Greg Kampe will returns Walker and forward Jalen Hayes (18 points, 9 rebounds) next season, who should make the Golden Grizzlies a contender yet again in the Horizon League.
