That's quite the interesting line. I expect it to get closer and/or we become dogs the closer it gets to game time.
Agreed.

RE: William & Mary
The only reason that it went to UNCW favored by 4 is because Tribal bet on UNCW. He did that knowing that the line was wrong and is going to get all of his buddies to bet on the Tribe to pick up money for him. I know his game now.
In all seriousness, that's a pretty lofty line to be favored by when going against a quality team. A team that knows how to play well in CAA play. UNCW is still in a growing pains faze but the betters believe. Regardless of the outcome, the Hawks need to continue to improve their collective floor play especially defensively if they want to really become a good ball club. Yes, they can score and have shooters/drivers but the defense, especially the help D, has to be WAY better. It's a process and they are getting better slowly but surely. This is going to take some time. And, it's better that way because we want something that will work longer term. To me, that line isn't quite right. It's a toss up at best. The Tribe has proven over time with their system to be very good.

RE: William & Mary
You guys are good. The rest of the country would know it if you had played a real nonconference schedule. Anyone betting would be laying the points after watching the Tribe in the 2nd half Thursday night. Both teams have shown the ability for poor halves this season. Let's hope we see the good version of both teams today. Today will also test the Saturday road fatigue factor. Most road teams not only lost last Saturday, they were not competitive. Jmu at Hofstra will be interesting too. It is a bigger game for UNCW than for us today. We are beat up and already achieved a split of the Southern swing. A win today would be a bonus. We are appropriately underdogs.

The close proximity of Charleston and Wilmington should lessen the "Saturday fatigue" on the Tribe. It's going to be a tough 40 min battle from both sides. Looking forward to it.

I can't believe the line is moving in this way. Clearly someone somewhere knows something we don't or is completely ignorant of the caa. I choose the ignorance explanation.

I am hoping for an aggressive contest that has both fan bases ticked. Right now you all seem to have formed a fan alliance. How dare you be above the fray.

This is what happens when not one of your hundreds of posters comes to visit us on our board with any regularity. :)

We're going with that 4-Guard lineup I loved against Elon. Nice.
