UNC-W again

Scroll down if you want the old one.
This game is absolutely huge. If the Tribe pulls this out, a bye in the CAA tourny is pretty much a lock and they will have a 2.5 game lead on Wilmington. Since the Tribe beat them at the Hall, UNC-W has beaten JMU at the Trask and dropped a 1 point game at Delaware. Their RPI is 4th in the CAA at 163.
This game will be tough for the Tribe. Leading-scorer Laimis Kisielius is doubtful with turf toe. UNCW has lost all of 2 games at home this year, vs. UNCG and VCU. The Tribe will need to play a much better game than their 4-point win in Williamsburg to pull this game out, as UNCW has one of - if not the - best homecourts in the CAA. Now I just everything that is stacked against them, but since when does that matter? After going 2-6 in non-conference play, they are in 3rd place, and I’m predicting they shock everybody again tonight. Tribe by 3.
