Richmond Stuns Kansas

Tony Dobbins’ fadeaway jump shot with one second left gave Richmond a 69-68 victory over No. 12 Kansas on Thursday night, ending the Jayhawks’ 52-game home winning streak against unranked opponents.

“I wouldn’t have shot it if I didn’t think it was going to go in,” Dobbins said. “I let it go, and it felt great. I didn’t shy away from it.”

Mike Skrocki scored 23 points to lead the Spiders (10-8), who became the first unranked team to win at Kansas since Nebraska on Feb. 10, 1999.

“I thought our kids handled the pressure very well,” Richmond Coach Jerry Wainwright said. “A building cannot make a shot for you.”

With Kansas (11-3) holding a 68-67 lead and the shot clock running out, Aaron Miles attempted a three-point shot that Dobbins knocked away. Miles got the ball back, but there wasn’t time to shoot again and Richmond got the ball back on a shot-clock violation.

Dobbins dribbled into the lane on the ensuing possession, spun and made the game-winning shot. Kansas had time for one inbounds pass, but the Jayhawks’ Wayne Simien was called for a pushing foul and Richmond ran out the clock.
