The Curse of the Maniac Part I (of many)

We finally got someone this year. The dreaded hex, unavoidable once MM.com starts to glam onto a mid-major darling, they are nearly guaranteed to get knocked down a peg.

Tonight's victim, our beloved Tribe of William & Mary took their first bad loss of the year, getting beat 62-61 by North Carolina Wilmington. The Tribe gave up a tip-in with 3.4 seconds to play to fall to 10-3 (2-1).

The Seahawks were fresh off a 34-point pasting by other MM.com fave, VCU.

Speaking of VCU, they fell to 1-2 in conference tonight, losing to Northeastern.

The CAA is a good league, but they are in danger of falling prey to classic Missouri Valley-eqsue cannibalism, where so many good teams mixed in with lesser teams who know each other well and always play tough at home. This of course leads to the worst thing for a mid-major seeking multiple bids to the Big Dance; parity.

UP NEXT:
Wednesday: W&M @ Deleware; VCU @ Drexel; Georgia St @ UNC-W
