What to Know
The William & Mary Tribe will stay at home another game and welcome the Fairfield Stags at 1 p.m. ET Dec. 12 at Kaplan Arena. The Stags will be strutting in after a victory while William & Mary will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The Tribe were just a bucket short of a win this past Thursday and fell 54-53 to the Hampton Pirates.
Meanwhile, Fairfield strolled past the Holy Cross Crusaders with points to spare this past Wednesday, taking the game 74-59.
William & Mary is expected to lose this next one by 8.5. Now might not be the best time to take William & Mary against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past four consecutive games.
William & Mary is now 1-10 while the Stags sit at 6-3. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Tribe are 351st worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 17.4 on average. Fairfield has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 18th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 10.7 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
