Manifest Destiny Pt. 2
The Seahawks with some heroics by Taylor Lay defeated the Tribe of William and Mary once again last night. Taylor didn't dominate the stat line but he put up 10 points and 3 boards. But he accomplished all of this in just 13 minutes of playing time, most of it coming in the last 10 minutes of the ball game. This gave UNCW a huge lift off the bench. Todd Hendley had another solid game scoring 15 points and pulling in 4 rebounds. Goldsberry pulled dropped in 14 points of his own. He also had 2 assists, 8 rebounds and 6 (count em) 6 steals. Temi Soyebo also had a strong game putting up 10 points and assisting on 6 field goals.
Taylor Lay's points were so important because of when they occured. William and Mary had just completed a 11-0 run to make a 14 point game a 3 point contest. He then came down and hit a 3. On the other side he had a huge steal to seal the game. As well as a couple of big rebounds. In addition he hit his FT's down the stretch as did Goldsberry. The Seahawks got a big lift at the beginning of the game thanks to Beckham Wyrick he only scored 2 points, but pulled in 10 boards 6 of them offensive.
Box Score
In other CAA news the night contest was won by VCU on a last second shot by BA Walker giving the Rams a 2 point win against the first place Drexel Dragons. In the noon game I witnessed Northeastern blow a 16 point lead in Norfolk against ODU. This was my first glimpse of Jose Juan Barea and he lived up to his billing with a double-double. And not just a slight DD, he had 32 points and 10 assists. But it wasn't enough as ODU protected their home court and came away with the win.
Here is video of the last second shot by BA Walker, if you are better with computers than I am you may be able to get it to play, i sure couldn't.
The current CAA standings are as follows:
UNCW, ODU, and GMU are in a 3 way tie for first at 4-1. Hofstra and Drexel follow in a 2 way tie for 4th as with 3-1 records. VCU and Northeastern are in a 2 way tie for 6th at 3-2. Towson follows in 8th place at 2-2.
The next game for UNCW is Thursday at 7:30 as we take Drexel in Philadelphia. Both teams will be playing for first place so it should be a good one. Tune in to 980 AM to see how it goes down.
