Nathan Knight and the Pips 2019 Tour

We're about 10 days away from the tip of William & Mary's 2019-20 men's basketball season. At the end of the 2019 CAA Tournament, most observers tapped the Tribe as one of the top two teams headed into this year. W&M stood its best chance in a long time to make that elusive appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

We know what happened next. And no, we're not over it, and we won't be any time soon. Hell, Marls won't even return the school's calls wondering why he's giving all of his hard-won money to St. John's

Regardless of how we feel, though, life goes on. While I will long remain a critic of the current W&M athletic administration (just wait until I get a chance to post a review of the new strategic plan), I can't in good conscience take my feelings out on the kids that wear the green and gold.

Those kids and their new coach, Dane Fischer, play at High Point a week from Tuesday. At some point, we'll offer a half-assed preview of the season, one in which we'll be lucky to win ten games. For now, though, we've dropped into this space to form a posse to attend the Tribe's second game.

On Friday, November 8, W&M comes to D.C. to face American University at Bender Arena. The Teej and I have visited Bender to see the Eagles play in a Patriot League playoff game. It's a tiny little bandbox, but it's fun. Holler at me in the comments if you'd like to go see Nathan Knight (who finds his name on multiple lists of the nation's top players) and what passes for a supporting cast get after it. Counting on you, in particular, Teej.
