Looking forward to watching this game. This game will tell a decent amount about where we are as a team so far. I am really looking forward to watching Evan Maxwell against D1 players for the first time this year. Trust me when I say this, William and Mary is not a joke team this year. Living in Raleigh has its advantages and hearing the State people say how they were shocked little ole william and mary came in and gut checked the pack.

Hoping we improve as much between game 2 and 3 as we did between game 1 and game 2.

Sounds like we better play some serious perimeter defense against these guys. No. 1 son saw the State game and said the Tribe shot lights out.

W&Ms win over NC state was certainly impressive, but let´s not confuse this years Wolfpack with the team that went to the Sweet Sixteen in March. They are minus 3 of their top 4 scorers and a couple of valuable role players.
Great test for our guys against the Tribe. In keeping with the theme of realistic expectations, I´ll be pleased if we compete for 40 minutes and show some areas of improvement.

How does one keep their job after only 156 wins in 13 years? Looks like that Job-like patience is finally going to pay off this year for them.

Evan Maxwell is a straight baller! This is the kind of big man LU has needed for a LONG time!!! Hope he continues his solid play.

We're getting a ton of open looks and drives to the basket. I actually think we win this once W+M cools down, because they sure look like they could care less about defense.

How is this for evidence of a Ritchie McKay coached team, 1 TURNOVER for the whole first half. WOW! I just love that our guys are scrappy, patient and passionate. This is such a great thing to see for our program. Looking forward to the second half. The one adjustment I would like to see and i think this adjustment could help us win is getting Evan more touches.

And the ONE TURNEVER wasn´t even a ball handling error. It was an illegal screen by Homesley.

Did not expect to tune in at halftime to see us winning. Finally able to settle in and watch in the 2nd half.

This season so far is total affirmation that McKay was and still is the real deal. Night and day difference. What other sports can he coach??
