If we're going to win an away game, this one is it. Favored by 7 at the moment and should be hungry.

One Tribe. One Family.

Last chance for a road win. Vegas still has faith, Tribe favored by a touchdown.

It's amazing with such a decent team that we have won only two road games all year, one of those on a 3 point prayer at the buzzer.

Go Tribe!

Merged the threads. For the record, I kept yours active and deleted mine.

Great minds...

One Tribe. One Family.

Key is to not let Delaware get a good early start. Their bad start at Kaplan led to an easy win. Let's hope our 3 point shooters are on early.

If we want to finish 4th or 5th, we almost have to win tonight. I think 8-10 is Friday night bound, so it would great to get that 9th win. Then, I think we need to do all we can to avoid Towson in the quarters. I guess it probably doesn't matter because playing COC on Saturday night would also be a tall order. I just think any team that has to play Towson will have a hard time being physically well enough to win 3 games in a row. I also know that if the Tribe plays its best, it can defeat any team in the league. I am just not sure we can do it 3 games in a row this year.

I don't think it makes any difference whether we come in 3rd or anywhere to 6th. We will need to win three games regardless and right now we've beaten every team except Towson and I think we'll beat them in our last regular season game. It is all going to come down to whether we want to play defense and run the offense. When we do those two things and everyone is healthy we blow teams out. When we do neither we get blown out. Simple as that.

I concur with these caveats. Can we defend? Will the other guys allow us to run our offense. I think we want to do both. The questions are; can we and will they?

Can we finally win another road game?

Delaware averages 64.5 points/game and shoots 41.9% from the field in CAA play. It will take effort to make them look like the Golden State Warriors.

We can, we can, I know we can. (It's a joke SB)

True, but if any team is capable of making that happen it is this years Tribe .

Not sanguine on this evening's chances. We've never played particularly well there and have suffered some depressing, even stunning defeats at Carpenter Arena. The place has the personality of a morgue. And this year's road performance record is beyond awful.

And I've found that Tony has become increasingly choleric as the season has gone on.

Sanguine and choleric in consecutive posts. I love this board.

The team defense has made me dyspeptic.

Nathan Knight getting the start tonight.

Delaware making about three changes in the starting lineup, including Pinkard, who was a one man wrecking crew in Williamsburg (21 points).

Sorta chaotic early.

BS charge call on Knight. Can they review the last play during the media timeout to see if their big guy was out of bounds when he jumped?
