What to Know
We've got another exciting Coastal Athletic matchup on schedule as the William & Mary Tribe and the Stony Brook Seawolves are set to tip at 1:00 p.m. ET on February 24th at Island Federal Arena. William & Mary has now lost seven straight, and the team is hunting for their first win since January 27.
Last Thursday, the Tribe lost to the Seahawks at home by a decisive 81-65 margin.
Meanwhile, winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to post 14 more assists than your opponent, a fact Stony Brook proved on Thursday. They took down the Aggies 80-64. The win was just what Stony Brook needed coming off of a 84-61 loss in their prior contest.
Tyler Stephenson-Moore was the offensive standout of the match as he scored 28 points along with two steals. As a matter of fact, that's the most points he has scored all season. The team also got some help courtesy of Keenan Fitzmorris, who scored nine points along with eight rebounds and two blocks.
The Tribe's defeat was their seventh straight at home, which dropped their record down to 8-20. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 61.6 points per game. As for the Seawolves, their win bumped their record up to 15-13.
William & Mary will be fighting an uphill battle on Saturday as the experts have pegged them as the eight-point underdog. This contest will be their tenth straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 6-3 against the spread).
William & Mary came up short against the Seawolves in their previous matchup back in January, falling 63-59. Can William & Mary avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
