American Idle

I guess it pays to take the week off for exams. The Seahawks keep on going up in the rankings without doing anything. The latest RPI ratings have UNCW at #16. And the latest Sagarin ratings at USA Today have us at #26, one spot in front of Wisconsin who stand at #27. So it looks like Wisconsin are the one's who will need to pull an upset (wink wink) over a powerhouse UNCW team.

After some conference games last night we are now in a tie for first place in the CAA with Northeastern who improved to 2-0 in league play with a dominant 89-67 win over Towson. The stat line looked pretty good for Northeastern especially from star senior Jose Juan Barea. This guy nearly posted a triple-double on the Tigers putting up 27 points 11 assists and 7 rebounds. Northeastern is 6-1 overall along with ODU. That puts them a 1/2 game behind us overall as the Seahawks stand at 7-1.

ODU picked up their first conference win last night over GMU with a 3 by Drew Williamson as time ran out giving ODU the 54-53 win. It has been an exciting start to the CAA season and hopefully ODU won't be able to pull off any magic like that against us.

Here are the current CAA standings.

UNCW remains idle until Monday night when we travel to Madison to face off against the Wisconsin Badgers. Here is the link to the live stats for the game. Other than that you will have to depend on the AM 980 broadcast of the game, unless you plan on traveling to Madison which is highly recommended.

Talk to you soon.
