| Brandon Britt was excited. |
I was really impressed the Tribe's resolve last night. After Tony Shaver called for The Greatest Time Out in Coaching History 51 seconds into the second half, the Wrens boatraced Charleston, 42-17. They were inexorable, shooting (there it is again) 56% from the floor and actually outrebounding the Cougars after the break. Omar Prewitt only made one shot, but it was huge, as he banked in a three-pointer late in the shot clock to give W&M a 61-57 and stop a 4-0 Charleston mini-run. Terry Tarpey was huge on the glass, finishing with 8 boards. Brandon Britt and Marcus Thornton each scored 16 points to pace the winners, as part of a total team effort.
Prewitt's fellow frosh, Daniel Dixon, played 21 critical minutes, making a pair of tough triples and providing significant defensive energy as the Tribe held Charleston to 25.8% shooting (and 0-10 from deep) in the second half. Dixon's athleticism on both ends may well play a big role. He played a total of 21 minutes in W&M's two losses to Towson. I bet we see more of him today.
Simple game, friends. Make some shots.

Also, Muppets, as 'Movin' Right Along' seems a good theme for a basketball team in a tournament:

Joakim Noah with 20/12/7/5 in a Bulls win over the Heat. Beast. Gonna be first team All-NBA center this season.
tribe game is on nbcsn at 5. get some.
towson only favored by 2.5. interesting line. like yesterday, not predicting this one. tribe can win if the shoot well, can get smoked if they don't.
It seems I'm getting the CAA tourney on NBCSN today. Guess I'll watch the Pantless Griffins.
Didn't see Rob's comment and actually went looking on the guide for the game. Could've just checked GTB. Who knew Rob could be useful?
don't get accustomed to it
tribe going for its 20th win of the season today. outside shot at one of the minor postseason tourneys if they don't go dancing. which they will, so it's a moot point.
After reading so much about this W&M team it's kind of odd to actually watch them play.
patchy start for the tribe on both ends.
You guys finally got me (sorta invested) in this team. Is this Dave Sims doing play-by-play?
Not a fan of whitey in the long-sleeve shirt. Is he an SAE?
TR, that's my boy Sheldon. He is a donk.
Omar Prewitt is white? Lke, really, really a white?
So white he messes up my grammar.
Headline of the day: RAPPER JA RULE LEAVES WIFE FOR MAN HE MET IN JAIL!
When does Tamir Goodman usually get subbed in?
This is kinda cool watching the Tribe on HDTV vs. my computer. I could get used to this high quality production.
Rob or Teej should yell "Gheorghe" loudly. We'll hear it.
since i'm in my living room, i doubt you'd hear it.
we'll be there tomorrow night when the tribe plays in the final, though
Amazing that we play such a patient half-court offense, yet don't have one player who averages 3 assists per game.
I mean, they're using a telestrator. For a TRIBE game. To show how one of our players scores. Amazing.
Tremendous head of hair on Marcus Damas.
i didn't love that last sequence. gotta get a better shot than that.
V v nervous. Had to resort to a halftime run to 7-11 for calming juice
Marcus, I love you
First time anyone described anything having to do with W&M basketball as a "high quality production."
Very tense.
THIS GAME!!!
What the f is going on?
Oh my god
Go Tribe
Tob & Teej--you should be in the crowd high-fiving the team...
Or, Rob..
Yesssssssssssssss
that game. holy shit.
So who's going to B'more for the game?
the teej and i are there. i think cliffy's going, too.
i want a teej/squirrel "moving right along" video.
there will be muppetry tomorrow. oh yes, there will.
w&m shot 55.1% for the game, 50% from three. we might be onto something with our analysis.
They might need to shoot 60 percent to win tomorrow night.
And a pre-midnight "hello Gheorghies" to you all
