Tribal, I've lost the link to these updates. Can you post where you found it?

Tribe B-ball alum Chris Stratton posts them on twitter after each game ... his handle is @cstrat25

A loss to JMU has no impact on our seeding of 4/5. WE do need the win to go 10-8 and keep our streak of double digit wins in CAA grow to 6 years plus the momentum.

If however you are a dreamer, a loss to JMU is horrible for our NET so even if we win in the tourney and go the DANCE it will put us into the dreaded 16 seed and play in game at Dayton. A win at JMU plus 3 straight in the tournament gives us a NET that SHOULD make a 15 seed. The question is "Do you Believe in Miracles"?

With JMU and hopefully three conference games to go, it is possible that Pierce could reach 1000 this year. Would only need to average 15 points a game to do that -- and if we are winning those games then I would venture to say that Pierce would be scoring around 15 each game.

Nate is going to be Nate and I think dominate the CAA tourney ... I think JP will be a big factor and have flashes of brilliance in Charleston, Chase is going to help set the tone defensively and on offense as well, but I think our biggest X factor is Matt Milon ... If Matt can catch fire for 3 games in a row, or maybe even just 2 of 3 games, we will be incredibly hard to beat honestly with how we are playing overall right now ... we are a very different team in the games where he is on.

I just have a weird (in a good way) feeling about the team this year and how things are lining up ... Go Tribe!

This year's team doesn't feel like the break through tournament team. Too many warts- free throw shooting, turnovers, offensive disappearances.

However, years where I was extra confident heading into the tourney championship didn't work out, so why not? The play has steadily improved on the season and we know the talent is there. This is probably the best W&M defensive team in a decade. Defense wins championships, right? If we can string together some solid shooting games and keep the TOs manageable, we should be in any contest.

I'd say whether you got a 15 or 16 depends on if some conference tournaments are won by their best team. For example, South Dakota State in 100th would be seeded above you even if you win out, while the next best NET in the Summit League is Omaha in 173rd. The Big West has UC Irvine 89th and the next best is UC Santa Barbara in 160th. In addition, winning the CAA Tournament could get your NET in the top half. You're 197th, and the median spot is 177th.

He has 376 points, 223 rebounds, 102 assists, and 57 turnovers. He has a chance to have at least 400 points, at least 200 rebounds, at least 100 assists, and 75 or fewer turnovers, which no CAA player has done in the last 11 complete seasons.

UMBC allowed us to practice in their new facility leading up to our game. Very cool gesture.

I didn't know they had a new facility. I was just at the UMBC RAC last weekend for an event for my kids. I commented on how crappy it was and about on par with a high school gym. I need to check it out.

It's called the Event Center. Opened in 2017.

A lot of great stats on this thread. I’ll add a few more from our outstanding Junior class. In terms of classmates, Nate and Justin should end up #1 in W&M history in both scoring and rebounding, and either #1 or #2 in assists with 3600+ points, 1700+ rebounds and 500-600 assists. Add in Matt and this trio will score 4600-4800 points! Could be Nate 2000+, Justin 1500+, Matt 1000+. That’s incredible to have 3 classmates hit the 1000 point mark!

Also, Nate/Justin should pass Prewitt/Dixon in classmates scoring. And in 2016-2017 they were all teammates! Wow! Good to be a Tribe fan!!!

Just watched the highlights on Tribeathletics.com...would have loved to have seen the grin on Paul's face after his fake-out of the defender and made three-pointer (at the 0:40 mark). JP's long bounce pass to Nate is also a thing of beauty.

Projecting the NET seed is based on current seed and the POTENTIAL remaining opponents NET seed. If you assume the best case scenario that all team wins out, then you have 3 conferences that have a lock on a #16 seed since NO TEAM has a NET over 210 in the conference. These are the MEAC, NEC, and SWAC. Two other conferences are on the fence with the MAAC and Southland since the best MAAC NET is 203 and the best Southland NET are 166 and 167. Our NET is 196 before the JMU game. Since we play better teams in our remaining games we can lock up a 15th Seed by winning the next four games but a loss to JMU puts us on the fence. Of course other conference upsets of lower NET teams winning helps this out.

As stated earlier, I cannot even comprehend the need for a NET seeding discussion until March 13th. I still hate myself for thinking it 5 years ago. But, at least the recent play has been encouraging to all of us.
