Heading to Hofstra, Must Mean Snow
Each of the Tribe's last three trips to Hempstead has been altered due to snow. In 2014, W&M spent five hours in the Philadelphia International Airport after its connecting flight to New York was cancelled. They bused the rest of the way adding four more hours to the trip. Last season, the Tribe's flight from Norfolk to New York was cancelled right after boarding with John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York shut down due to snow. W&M bused to Long Island, arriving around 3 a.m., on Sunday morning for a 4 p.m. tip. This year, the Tribe pro-actively decided to bus to New York, leaving at 9 a.m., on Friday. Its original flight was later cancelled, and the game was pushed back a day due to Winter Storm Jonas.
 
20-Assist Games
In three of its last four games, the Tribe has dished out 20 assists, including its highest total since 1995. The Green and Gold tallied 21 assists in a win over Northeastern on Jan. 9, before recording 20 at UNCW on Jan. 16. In its most recent victory against Elon, W&M dished out 27 assists on its 36 made field goals, marking the fifth most assists in school history. It was the program's highest assist total since tallying a school-record 33 in a 1995 victory over George Mason. The Tribe is 4-1 this season and 17-1 over the six seasons when dishing out 20 or more assists in a game.

Sophomore Connor Burchfield has made a name for himself as a long-range bomber. A key piece off the Tribe bench, the 6-4 guard is shooting a remarkable 59.5 percent (25-of-42) with an effective field goal percentage of 84.6 percent and a true shooting percentage of 85.7 percent, according to KenPom.com. For the second time this season, Burchfield led the Tribe in scoring, erupting for 20 points on 6-of-7 from 3-point range in the win over Elon on Jan. 21. Earlier this season at Howard on Nov. 28, Burchfield tied W&M school records going a perfect 7-of-7 from the floor and 5-of-5 from 3-point range on the way to a career-high 19 points.
