Let's be clear, I want to be better, I want to win the CAA and see TU in the NCAAs every year (or every couple of years). However, this is college basketball and only so many teams win each season. This is PS seventh season (although first two should not count, first season was complete re-build and second season we were screwed due to PK). We're not talking about Tony Shaver who's been at W&M 15+ seasons with essentially the same success rate. Based on the program that Skerry took over, which was awful since the early 1990s, I'm totally willing to give him a few more years before I think it's time for a change.

I was at Towson from 95-99 and worked with the team during the Jaskulski years (Who appears to be a HC again http://www.stritchwolves.com/news/2015/6/26/GEN_0626154020.aspx?path=general). For the first time since I graduated the team has finally not been an embarrassment. I realize Skerry has yet to get to the CAA championship game or NCAAs, but with a little more time I believe that will come. Besides, once he gets the team to the NCAAs, I'm sure some bigger school might come sniffing around. I had higher expectations for this season, but am at least happy we are generally competitive each season in the CAA.

I agree. Pitt beat Delaware St by 6 pts. UMBC beat Delaware St by 21 pts. Also, it appears one of Pitt's best players and big men, Ryan Luther, will likely miss the game. Ryan Luther was so far averaging 12.7 pts and 10.1 rebs per game. Losing to Pitt would be a bad loss, just like when we lost to BC last season.

Looks like the folks (or one guy) from W&M consider SECU to be the best arena in the conference. https://wmsportsblog.com/2017/12/19/the-definitive-list-caa-basketball-stadiums-ranked/

Need to be more patient with the freshmen (Prophete). Let's not forget that this time last year Zane was not doing much and I think he's turned out pretty well in his sophomore season.

http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/mens-basketball/top-144-previews Looks like College Sports Madness does not have us as one of the top 144 teams, but it has Hofstra at 133 (#3 in the CAA) and Elon at 115 (#2 in the CAA) and I would assume C of C in the top 50. (Thus far they are only up to 51).
