Looks like one of the better lines on the board today. William & Mary much improved over last year and Purdue being over valued given their more known name. Game should be single digits.

love the TribeComment -
I like the play, being a WM grad
I don't think Purdue can score enough points to be a 12 point favorite against WM.
I also like the UNDER 128 in the game. Both teams run relatively slow-tempo offenses and defend the 3-pointer very well (something WM does a lot of). Both teams are also coming off relatively long rests so I expect both teams to be rusty on offense to start the game.
Hopefully you (& the Tribe) win

2011. Was there the 2 years they almost won the CAA championship...Originally posted by BiffTFinancialComment -
nice. remember watching those CAA tourney games and rooting hard. my brother played for Shaver at Hampden-Sydney before he moved on to W&M. solid coach.Originally posted by WMtribe17Comment -
O cool. I was at the CAA tourney the year (2007) when they won the 1st 3 games on last second shots before losing to Mason in the final. Pretty crazy run they had then.Originally posted by BiffTFinancial
Yeah, Shaver is a good coach for the usual lack of athleticism he has. However, I think this is the most athletic team he has had at W&M and the weakest the CAA has been in a long time with VCU now gone.
Hopefully, this is the year they get to the NCAA tourney...Comment -
At least the +6.5 WM 1H bet will cash for me. The UNDER sure as hell won't...
Both teams look dreadful on D and the tempo is a little faster than I wanted it to be unfortunately.Comment -
W&M with lead at half. 2nd half on them too?Comment -
i dream of the day the Tribe makes the tourney. gonna have to happen soon before expansion renders it relatively meaningless for long-waiting Tribe fans (Northwestern in similar boat). they played great 1H vs Purdue, hope that they keep it up. Britt, Thornton and Gallaird all had outstanding 1Hs (collective 33 points on 12-14 shooting with 6 assists, 2 steals vs 3 TOs). go Tribe!Originally posted by WMtribe17Comment -
yeah, thought about your under with the pace. sorry about that man.Originally posted by WMtribe17
Tribe outrebounded Boilers by 3 in the 1H. talk about something i thought i'd never type...Comment -
sitting tight with my game +11 but BOL if you play Tribe 2H. will certainly be rooting for them.Originally posted by TheeArchBishopComment -
I know I am late on this, but I wouldn't have touched it. W&M has looked better in executing their offense than Purdue, but they don't have that clutch factor to play well in the last 5 minutes (usually missed FTs/careless turnovers)Originally posted by TheeArchBishopComment -
I am surprised also because Purdue has a very good rebounding margin on the year. However, with the amount of 3 pointers shot between the 2 teams, it comes down to which hustles more to the long reboundsOriginally posted by BiffTFinancialComment -
Same story, different game... W&M never plays well in the last 5 minutes...Comment -
well they covered. I was finally right on a call ffsComment -

I would probably take WM to cover against Vandy also, especially 1st half. WM has played well against the big 6 conference teams in the 1st half before screwing up in the last 10 minutes of the game. I have watched Vandy play and they are really bad this yearComment
