6 Straight
Posted by TTHS on February 8th, 2007
That’s right, W&M basketball just beat JMU for the 6th straight time. And what a great win it was. In a virtual toss-up after being upset at home by UNCW, W&M came out firing, beating JMU by 15 in their gym.
I’m working without stats, but here are the keys for me:
Schneider-Finally broke out of his slump, scoring 11. The foul shooting still needs work, as he missed 3 of 4 down the strech, but I’ll take that kind of effort out of him every night. Most importantly, it seemed he was attacking the basketball, and make a couple shots inside the arc. Definitely a great time for him to do it, against ROY candidate Pierre Curtis.
D-D-D-DEFENSE!-Again, I have no stats, but it seemed like we really kept the Dukes to a low shooting percentage, and importantly kept Joe Posey tame from 3. The only bad thing I can say about the D was the fouling down low, but that may have been a referee thing.
Stein-Scored 17, including 2 big dunks. Alex Smith has really disappeared lately, so him stepping up has been key. It is spectacular that he is playing this well, and I am overjoyed that we have him for 2 more years.
Kisielius-Laimis got the start tonight, and while he didn’t have a very good game, I think that is a step foward. I really think we beat UNCW, who just lost to UD, if he is back to 100%
Towson lost-And we are now tied with them and NU for 6th place! Cheer as hard as you can against those 2 for the rest of the year.
Go Tribe!
