Right The Ship

The Battling Bishops will look to bounce back on Saturday, trying to upend a four game losing streak. During the stretch, NCWU has faced two top-25 Division III programs and DI UNC Greensboro.

Getting Stops

In order to have a big Saturday inside Everett Gymnasium, the Bishops will have to take Coach Thompson's D-Up saying to heart. Wesleyan must stop the Eagles' phenomenal transition offense and turn misses into run-out layups at the other end of the floor.

The Opponent

Always a well-balanced and coached team, the Eagles will come into Rocky Mount barely falling to #7 Randolph-Macon 58-55 Thursday night. Leading the charge on offense for Mary Washington is graduate guard Zack Blue, who averages close to fifteen points per contest.
