You Better Recongnize
Well folks it looks like the national spotlight is finally starting to fix itself on Wilmington. The new AP poll has UNCW in a tie with Buffaloe and Loyola MD for #46 in the nation. This puts us right behind ODU who is in a tie for #41 with Iowa State. They are #39 in the ESPN/Coaches Poll. Our next opponent is Wisconsin on Dec. 12th in Madison. They are #28 in the ESPN/Coaches Poll and #32 in the AP poll.

Also on collegeinsider.com is this little tidbit written by their columnist John Stansberry.
Seahawks flying high again
"Hey, is anyone out there paying attention to the fantastic start that UNC Wilmington has gotten off to? The Seahawks went out to Laramie and won the season opening Black Coaches Association Invitational, beating Butler, host Wyoming and Northwestern en route to the title. They currently stand at 7-1.Head coach Brad Brownell looks poised to raise UNCW back to the lofty status the program attained back in 2001-02, when then coach Jerry Wainwright directed that edition of the Seahawks into the second round of the NCAA's, where they fell to eventual Final Four participant Indiana.Keep an eye on point guard John Goldsberry, the steady senior with the ability to knock down the three if he gets a look. His line against Butler shows what he's capable of: 21 points, seven rebounds and eight assists. The Colonial is looking that much tougher with UNCW playing this well."
Also for you students out there I'm sure you received this email from Coach Brownell today:
Students –
Great job yesterday! You once again helped make Trask Coliseum the Toughest Place to Play in the CAA! Because of you, the VCU Rams left Trask with their 10th straight loss in the building. The energy and excitement you provided yesterday was incredible and certainly gave us a lift. Good luck with your exams and have a great holiday. I hope to see you back in Trask later this season for more big games.
Go Seahawks!
-Coach Brownell
And if you are looking for a new wallpaper for your computer check these out. The Trask one is my favorite.
Well I'll keep you posted of any more news on our boys during our off week. And maybe I'll post some sort of update about some other sports. Who knows.
