Second Half

:21 - After not getting in during last week's win over James Madison, Jason Aycock got in for the final 21 seconds of this one, to see his third action of the season. Final 77-64 UNCW.

3:03 - 71-57 UNCW
Another Dominique Lacy sighting. Clear path to basket + Lacy with ball = Lacy trying to tear the rim off. A nice tomahawk throwdown, jumping over a W&M player who had been knocked down just under the basket.

3:54 - 68-55 UNCW
Daniel Fountain got open a couple of times, much to the dismay of the Tribe coaching staff. Fountain has 21.

6:30 - 61-50 UNCW
Danny Sumner just took one to the basket and drew a block on Chad Tomko, his fourth personal. Awfully close call from my view, two feet from Tony Shaver (and his great moustache).

The last few minutes have been the ugliest stretch of the game with a lot of physical contact. Neither coach has been particularly happy with their team's execution.

11:35 - 58-43 UNCW
Daniel Fountain traded 3-pointers with W&M's Peter Stein, who just picked up his fourth foul. Losing your primary post defender would seem big for most teams, but I'd imagine the Tribe will just throw another big out there that can take (and make) 3's. Their offense really is a thing of beauty.

13:17 - 55-40 UNCW
Benny Moss urged his team to pick up the pace and they did just that. Dominique Lacy made a 3-pointer, a nice save that led to a Daniel Fountain layup and a drive to the basket which ended with a layup rimming out. Lacy has been showing signs of becoming a great player and just proved again why he could be so deadly. If his he can knock down jumpers consistently, he's going to be one of the toughest matchups in the CAA for the next few years.

15:50 - 45-37 UNCW
The Seahawks started the second half the same way they started the first -- pounding the ball into the post. W&M elected not to double Vlad Kuljanin on either of his two post touches and both ended with baskets for the big man. He also put back an offensive board and now has 8 points and 14 rebounds.
