William & Mary at UNC-Wilmington (-6.5) - 4:00pm - Game #539-540
Key game for the Seahawks as they are one game back from 2nd place W&M in the CAA standings and get a chance to avenge a close loss to the Tribe 11 days ago. UNCW has won six of their last eight games with both losses coming during a three game road stretch, the first at W&M where they had a shot to win in the final seconds, and at Delaware they led for nearly the entire game but blew a 9 point lead late and lost on a last second three. Four senior starters and the emergence of freshman PG Tomko (13.8ppg last 5) will continue to make this team a threat down the stretch. William & Mary has been a surprise in the league this year but have been fortunate with five wins by three points or less. Tonight will be their first back to back conference road game situation of the season. Leading scorer and second leading assist man Laimis Kisielius is suffering from turf toe and missed the second half Saturday after laboring through a 1 for 6 effort in 18 minutes. He has not practiced since before last game and head coach Shaver was quoted Tuesday saying, "It might be an injury where we have to put him down and rest him for a while." To make things worse a flu bug has made rounds with the Tribe over the past week. Trask Coliseum has always been one of the best home court advantages in the CAA and UNCW's recent success has it buzzing again. Finishing in the top four of the league standings means a first round bye in the conference tournament which is another reason to expect a senior laden Wilmington team to give a focused effort tonight. Give the points.

Play: UNC-Wilimington -6.5  1.0 UNIT  |  WIN 77-64
