WBB Game 10: ODU (1-8) vs W&M (8-1)
Last season with coach KB's best team, we lost at home to the Tribe of W&M. A team that we used to dominant. I would love to say that we will win tomorrow at the Kaplan The truth is, this is a pretty good team that is better than last year. I know some fans were talking about driving up to support the team. If you can, they could probably use it.
Tribe's Starting Five
#02 Bianca Boggs G 5'8" Jr 15.7 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2.3 apg, 2.1 spg, 1.2 bpg, 46.1 FG%, 40.7 3P%, 72.0 FT%, 26.6 mpg
#24 Abby Rendle C 6'4" Sr 12.4 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 1.2 apg, 4.9 bpg (!), 50.6, 68.8 FT%, 27.2 mpg
#30 Victoria Reynolds F 5'10" So 12.2 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 2.8 apg, 2.9 spg, 55.7 FG%, 55.6 3P%, 77.3 FT%, 31.2 mpg
#12 Jenna Green G 5'7" So 11.6 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 6.2 apg, 1.9 spg, 48.2 FG%, 47.4 3P%, 68.2 FT%, 36.7 mpg
#11 Nyla Pollard G 5'9" Fr 6.0 ppg, 1.8 rpg, 2.3 apg, 40.0 Fg%, 37.5 3P%, 85.7 FT%, 24.8 mpg
Off the Bench
#10 Nari Garner G 5'7" So 9.1 ppg, 1.2 rpg, 0.0 apg, 1.0 spg, 49.1 Fg%, 47.4 3P%, 83.3 FT%, 13.4 mpg
Pollard is a freshman from Princesse Anne High School who starts for the team. So Harper Birdsong (5'10" G) is from Nansemond-Suffolk high school.
This team shoots mostly from the floor. Their main three point shooter is Garner off the bench. But for the most part, they pretty much pound the ball inside. It starts with 6'4" Abbey Reynolds who is currently tied for first place in the nation in blocks per game. They like to pass the ball and like to try to steal on defense. It's a solid team with good fundamentals.

Yeah...the stats don't favor us. ODU needs to get off to a quick start for the team's confidence. To find there offense. I think that would help them.
For those that can't make the game, it might be viewed on Cox-Yurview in the Hampton Roads area. This game is part of a doubleheader. At 2pm the W&M men will play Milligan College. It's located in Elizabethton, Tennessee.
