...based on record.
And this year our best wins are against Oklahoma and Nevada....instead of Iona and Western Kentucky.
I keep wishing we hadn't lost to Western Michigan, and people keep telling me we needed that loss.
Home games against Rhode Island and Richmond are going to be very tough. Lots of a chances to boost our resume in the next two weeks.
Great stuff. As good as we were during the AG/E Maynor years we never got off to a killer start. I never like to lose, but sometimes you go on a run after a loss like that. Kinda like what happened after the loss to Nevada last year. The focus and intensity from there out was through the roof. This was a tough test as will Rhode Island and Richmond. William and Mary won't be the early season CAA gimmie that it has been over the past few years either. Hopefully we keep rolling and stay undefeated through the next 3 games (in the state of Virginia).
A few other things I am liking so far . . .
We came into the Nevada game ranked 5th in the nation in 3 point percentage allowed at 19.1%. Tonight Nevada shot 7.1% from behind the arch.
After 120 mins of play in the Stu we have only trailed for 1 possession.
We are 49-5 at the Stu since the start of the 2006-07 season.
Bradford, Joey, Jay, Ed (tie), and Larry (tie) have all lead the team in scoring so far this year.
T finally got his cast off.
Only 3 more games without Jamie Skeen, and we don't exactly suck right now.
Only 2 of our first 12 games are outside of the state of Virginia. That is a good opportunity for the team to find it's way without Eric and build some momentum before conference play starts.
