Southern swing on the road
Tonight's game in Charleston is a mid season test. Are we really a good team? I visited that fair city in October. I got the impression that they took their game seriously. It's a 3.5 hour ride to Wilmington and 4.5 hours to Williamsburg. This time will pass faster with two wins. One and one bare minimum.

No Barry, no Bourne...Cougs with a short bench tonight. Hopefully can wear this team down in the second half and get a big road win against a Top 75 RPI team.

RE: Southern swing on the road
The last two games in Charleston have been pretty brutal. I have taken friends to each of them. They always leave with that "pity that fool who thinks W&M is improving" look in their eye.

Winning tonight would means overcoming a hurdle our last two 20-win teams were unable to overcome. I am certainly not taking that for granted.

RE: Southern swing on the road
Tough to win two road games in a row...we need to keep the team concept shown against Northeastern
and keep the pressure on.

C of C will be out for a "must" home revenge win while UNC-Wilmington employs a full-time press that will
need our full attention to win.

Our bench will have a lot to say in these two games.

The historian in me fears a sweep (not in favor of the good guys), and will sign up now for a split.

I think it'd be tempting for us to run an up tempo press and simply tire out the Cougars and their short bench. But we have to remember that we play an up tempo team on Saturday and can't come into Trask already out of breath.

I like our chances on this swing. There were a few games where our offense seemed to hit a lull, but we seem to be on the way out of that right now. People are settling into the offense, coming back from injury, and hitting their stride.

Agreed, Cohn, Tarpey and Sheldon have all raised their offensive game in the past week or two. Whitman back from injury and turned in one of his best efforts ever. I'm bullish...

Here's hoping we can catch those southern boyz with their pants down. Figuratively speaking of course. We can spread some Virginia cheer over the Queen City in palmetto land. It's fun there but they lay it on pretty thick.

As crazy as this sounds, I also think that with Marcus having graduated, every player that we have on the floor, by necessity, has to be totally engaged in every offensive possession, because there is no Marcus available to bail out a bad possession. Good offensive players who have to be engaged 100% of the time lead to fewer empty possessions.

Latest word on Barry he is having surgery tomorrow and probably out for the season. Probably be seeing a walk on guard on the floor for us a few minutes every game the rest of the season. Leaves us with 4 healthy ship guards

The Tribe will need to get some quality minutes from Oliver Tort during this swing south. Depth as pointed out and if he can do the job then it could go along way in saving legs.

RE: Southern swing on the road
Anyone having trouble getting the video feed to load? I'm on the road so not sure if the feed just hasn't started yet, or if this is a crappy internet connection here.

Edit: Just realized it's a 7:30 tip. User error...
