† 2022 A10 Tournament winner As of March 5, 2022; Rankings from AP Poll |
The 2021–22 Richmond Spiders men's basketball team represents the University of Richmond during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They are led by 17th-year head coach Chris Mooney and play their home games at the Robins Center as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference.
On December 5, 2021, senior guard Jacob Gilyard set the new all-time NCAA Division I career steals record, securing his 386th steal to surpass Providence's John Linehan (385), whose record had stood since 2002.[1]
Previous season[]
In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Spiders finished the 2020–21 season 14–9, 6–5 in A-10 play to finish in eighth place. They lost to Duquesne in the second round of the A-10 Tournament.[2] The Spiders received an at-large bid to the National Invitation Tournament, where they defeated Toledo in the first round[3] before losing to Mississippi State.[4]

Returning players[]
With the NCAA granting student-athletes an extra year of eligibility due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, three scholarship Spiders who would have otherwise exhausted their eligibility elected to return for the 2021–22 season: Jacob Gilyard, Nathan Cayo, and Grant Golden. Nick Sherod also elected to return despite having already spent five years in the Richmond program, including missing the entire 2020–21 season and all but six games of the 2018–19 season due to injuries.[5]
