Who's Playing

William & Mary @ UMBC

Current Records: William & Mary 4-7; UMBC 8-4

What to Know

The UMBC Retrievers will look to defend their home court Sunday against the William & Mary Tribe at 1 p.m. ET. The Retrievers should still be riding high after a victory, while William & Mary will be looking to get back in the win column.

Things were close when UMBC and the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds clashed last Tuesday, but UMBC ultimately edged out the opposition 72-69.

Meanwhile, the matchup between William & Mary and the Norfolk State Spartans two weeks ago was not particularly close, with William & Mary falling 67-53.

UMBC is the favorite in this one, with an expected 8-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread last Tuesday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

The Retrievers' win brought them up to 8-4 while the Tribe's loss pulled them down to 4-7. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: UMBC enters the game with only 11 turnovers per game on average, good for 31st best in college basketball. Less enviably, William & Mary is 48th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.7 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against William & Mary.
