The Will to Win

Great game today in the CAA. The Tribe of William & Mary reeled off their tenth straight win today in thrilling fashion. They took their first lead of the ballgame 48-47 on a three point play with 13 seconds left. Hofstra came down and got off a contested three point attempt with three seconds remaining that missed. The Pride grabbed the offensive rebound and appeared to have drawn contact on the put back attempt, but the referees ruled it came after the final buzzer sounded.

The refs pronounced the game over and retreated to the locker room, all the while pursuited by Hofstra coach Tom Pecora. Alas, the game was over and the Tribe move to 2-0 in the CAA, while Hofstra falls to 1-1.

It might not be as glamorous as their win three nights ago at Maryland, but it is a big road conference win for a team not accustomed to the spotlight. The probably won't be ranked on Monday, but should get enough votes to be within shouting distance.

Elsewhere in the conference, George Mason showed a pulse, thrashing red-hot Old Dominion 71-55. This is one of five potential multi-bid conferences outside the BCS worth watching this season.
