I'm gonna predict UNCW defeats ODU. ;)

Heaven only knows what might happen in Norfolk should that somehow happen. :lol:

mass suicide by eating too much ice cream and cake :?: :!:
 
I'm gonna guess that it's nothing like our boards would be if we lose Saturday or Sunday.
 
Towson up by 22 at the half. Maybe they will give someone a run for their money tomorrow. ;)
 
also gotta remember that UNCW doesn't play that much defense but I am just as surprised how much they lead by.

I wouldn't count on it. But wouldn't it be nice :D
 
to be honest, I'm not looking past Towson as much as I did before they played today. They made a run last year and the way they played today showed they have the potential to make another one this year except UNCW doesn't really play defense but still its going to be tough to beat a team three times in one season.

We didn't blow them out like I expected when they came to Norfolk so tomorrow could be tough one for us. Only thing we have going for us is that hopefully today will wear them down and our players will be rested tomorrow and we actually play defense.
 
Final: 91-74. Towson came into this game going 5-5 over their last 10 games. They played a dissimated and deflated UNCW team. They took inside on UNCW and shoot extremely well from both the foul line and 3 point range.

Towson may once again be a spoiler, but they will have a tall (no pun intend) order with ODU. If ODU packs in their zone and TU gets hot on the outside, it could be a closer game than expected. If TU shoots poorly and ODU scoops up all the rebounds like they normally do, then ODU wins by double digits easily. Should be a fun game to watch depending on which TU team shows up.
