In each of the last four contests, junior Omar Prewitt recorded 20-point games to lead the way for W&M. It marks the longest 20-point scoring streak of Prewitt's career. His 11 20-point games this season are tied for the CAA lead along with Northeastern's David Walker and Delaware's Kory Holden.

Welcome to the 80's
For the first time in 40 years, the Tribe scored 80 or more points in four straight games. In fact, the Green and Gold tallied at least 80 points in seven of its last nine contests. The last time W&M scored 80 or more points in four straight games came in 1976. The Tribe tallied 105 vs. Christopher Newport, 92 vs. Hampden-Sydney, 94 vs. The Citadel and 84 against Wake Forest, all at home, to start the 1976-77 campaign. W&M will attempt to score 80 points in a fifth-straight game against UNCW on Thursday. The Tribe last posted five straight 80-point games during the 1969-70 season. During the first five games of December in 1969, W&M scored 84 vs. N.C. State, 80 at West Virginia, 84 at Virginia Tech, 82 at Georgetown and 81 vs. Richmond.
 
Moving on Up
Sophomore guard David Cohn moved into the Tribe's single-season top 10 for assists with his five helpers at Towson. He ranks eighth in program lore, tied with Randy Bracey, with 119 assists on the year. Cohn is only four assists away from moving into the top five in W&M history. His assist total is the best for a Tribe player since David Schneider had 124 in 2008.  The Elmhurst, Ill., native ranks second in the CAA and 87th nationally at 4.8 assists per game, which is the third-best per game average in W&M annals. He has been even better at 5.6 per contest in league action, which also ranks second in the CAA. Along with his high number of assists, Cohn has not turned the ball over either, sporting the CAA's second-best assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.8, which also ranks 34th nationally. His assist-to-turnover ratio would establish a new program record.
