I Thought the 3rd Time was the Charm
The Monarchs of ODU sure don't like me or Brad Brownell too much. Last night they handed the Seahawks their 3rd straight loss dropping them to 9-5 (2-1). UNCW is in the midst of a 3 game road trip and the first 2 have gone poorly. This game was certainly a tale of 2 halves as ODU shot 29% in the first half and 55% in the second half. And it didn't help that they hit all 7 of their 3's in the 2nd half to hand the Seahawks a 5 point loss. For the game we outshot the Monarchs shooting 40% to their 38%. But once again a descrepency in the FT stat line as ODU shot 24 to our 9. So they shot 15 more FT's and won by 5. I will say no more. Check out the Box Score.
While you are there you may notice that TJ Carter tied his career high point total by dropping in 19 points. He previously set this career high in our 3 point loss to Wisconsin in Madison. So TJ please stop making your career high. It seems to be costing us games. Mitch Laue had another solid game putting in 12 points, 3 assists, 2 boards and a steal. John Goldsberry broke out of his shooting slump putting in 4-8 for 10 points. He also tallied 5 assists, 4 rebounds and a steal. The Monarchs were led by Brian Henderson who put in 17 points. Alex Loughton tallied a double-double scoring 10 and pulling in 11 boards.
UNCW now travels to Newark, Delaware to take on the Blue Hens of Delaware. The game will be played at 7:30 on 980 AM in Wilmington. The Blue Hens are not a very good team this year with the exception of workhorse Harding Nana who is averaging 19.8 ppg and 11.9 rpg. If Delaware were not 4-7 you would probably be hearing more about him.
In the latest CAA standings Drexel sits alone at the top of the league at 2-0. They are followed by UNCW, Northeastern, VCU, GMU, and ODU who are in a 5 way tie for 2nd place at 2-1. Hofstra and Towson follow in a tie for 7th.
In other CAA news several teams remain in the top 100 RPI even with the latest struggles:
36 ODU
59 GMU
65 Drexel
70 UNCW
73 Hofstra
81 VCU
Also if you happen to live in North Carolina or if you get CSN-MA you can watch the VCU vs. GMU matchup on Thursday night at 7:00. Thats Channel 47 for those of you in Wilmington.
And a reminder UNCW Seahawks vs. Delaware Blue Hens in the battle of the fictional birds at 7:30 on 980 AM in Wilmington.
