Panthers Fall on the Road Again, Lose at W&M 69-65
The hits just keep on coming. The Tribe entered the game with the 2nd worst record in the CAA. We followed our pattern, get down by double digits, fight back making it a close game before falling. The Panthers wrap up their regular season road record at 2-12. As the great Lefty Driesell once said, "Good teams win on the road."
The Panthers were in foul trouble all night and the Tribe shot 37 free throws to 9 for the Panthers. Those are the staggering stats that lead to defeat. Javonte Maynor was a bright spot hitting 7 threes on the night and finishing with his first ever 20+ point performance.
Next: Senior Night vs. George Mason on Saturday at 6pm at the Sports Arena. Seniors Dante Curry and Marques Johnson will be honored before the game.

What Could Have Been: Lefty's son Chuck could be coaching Panthers
Good write up by Carroll Rogers talking about our former coach and his family in the AJC.
One nugget that struck me:
Chuck learned about his father’s “I must” from inside the huddle. The third of Driesell’s four children, and only son, was a fixture on the bench “since he could sit up,” Lefty said. He went from ball boy to player at Maryland to nine-year assistant coach to Driesell at James Madison. The only reason he didn’t follow his dad to Georgia State was because of a nepotism rule.
As many of you long time Panther fans know, when Lefty woke up on New Year's Day 2003 and told his wife, I'm done with coaching. The reins were immediately passed to his top assistant Michael Perry (which caused a rift on the coaching staff and possibly within the team) who had 16 years of coaching experience at Virginia Union, Richmond and 5 years on Lefty's bench. I'm not 100% sure that Lefty would have handed it to his son but it's very possible that things may have changed slightly.
