Notes
Hopefully the Wizards can gradually right the ship tonight. But we shall see what we shall see.
Also a shout out to the William and Mary men's basketball team, because they had a clutch shot to win their CAA tournament semifinal game vs. Hofstra:

The Tribe plays the the Northeastern Huskies ... at the same time as this game for the CAA Tournament title, as well as a berth in the NCAA Tournament. You can watch this game on NBCSN, when this game is on a commercial break of course. :)
For W&M fans, the Tribe unfortunately has been only one of five original Division I schools to have never made it into the NCAA Tournament. But in recent years, there have been some positive momentum. The Tribe has made the CAA Tournament Finals in four of the last eight years, and each of the last two. At some point, you'd think they finally will break that glass ceiling.
I'm not talking about this ... just because. Bullets Forever just happens to have multiple ties to this university based in ... Colonial Williamsburg:

Let's hope for a couple of wins -- a Wizards one and a Tribe one -- unless you graduated from Northeastern of course.
