The Smallest Demographic in College Sports

Because I know 8-10 people care about this, your William and Mary Tribe faces a season-defining stretch of games beginning this weekend against Georgia State. By all rights, the Green and Gold really should win 5 of their next 6. I'm fairly certain that sentence has never been written in connection with W&M hoops. Here's the schedule:

Georgia State
@ VCU
JMU
UNC-Wilmington
@ JMU
@UNC-Wilmington

After that stretch, the Tribe closes with back-to-back games against Drexel and a home finale against ODU. If Tony Shaver's boys play to their potential, an 8-10 conference record (15-13 overall) is a reasonable expectation.

Of course, this being William and Mary basketball we're discussing, I expect to close the season on a 14-game losing streak.

  3. Meanwhile in Terp Town, things are looking bleak. Currently 2-4 in the ACC with some bad losses, they probably need to go at least 7-3 down the stretch and make some noise in the ACC tourney to get into the big'un. That 7-3 might need to include wins over Duke and UNC.

    Uh, good luck with all that, Gary.
