Call Them Butter

Because the Tribe is on a roll(weak).
That is 4 straight conference wins, and another close one. This team just does not lose. It is finally fun to watch Tribe basketball.
Towson visits the Hall on Saturday, and the Tribe needs to take care of business. The Tigers are 6-9 on the year, but absolutely terrible on the road at 1-6 plus 0-2 in the conference. Pomeroy is predicting they win 10 games this year, and says they only have a 17% chance of winning at the Kap.
Junior Hairston, a C of C transfer has been the Tigers top scorer on the season with 13.9 points per game. He is averaging a double-double with 11.9 boards per, and has 28 blocks along with a shooting percentage at 50. He can do pretty much everything, and looks like a guy Laimis should guard.
Rodney Spruill is their second best scorer with 12.3 points per game, however he will not be playing tomorrow due to academic issues. This may be the nail in the Tigers coffin, as they aren’t great scorers as it is.
If the Tribe has a lock in conference play this year, Towson is it. They are without one of their top players, playing at the Hall, against a surging Tribe team. The game will be close, but I don’t see Towson winning. At all.
