W&M News and Notes
- Tuesday will be the Tribe's final of four games in the 2018 Gotham Classic, which is in its sixth season. The Tribe competes in a multi-team exempt (MTE) event for the first time since the 2011-12 season. W&M's last exempt event was the 2011 2K Sports Classic, when the Tribe traveled to St. John's and played Lehigh, Eastern Kentucky and Liberty in Lynchburg, Va.
 
- The Tribe is 23-16 all-time against the Big South, including a 17-9 mark under head coach Tony Shaver. W&M is 10-3 against Big South teams over the last six years. The Tribe downed High Point, 79-69, earlier this season and travels to Big South newcomer Hampton on Dec. 8.
