Game #27—Big Game! We travel to take on William & Mary (16-10, 11-4) for uncontested control of 1st place in the CAA. We beat the Tribe 58-43 earlier this season, but they now have the advantage of hosting us. They’ve played consistently well all season and have four players averaging in double figures. Coach Aura flew to Virginia to join the team for this game. The lead shifted 5 times in the early going of the first half, but our defense then began to stifle William & Mary, silencing the home crowd, and we gradually opened a 40-29 advantage at the break. We didn’t let up in the 2nd half and ground out a very satisfying 79-63 victory that catapulted us into the sole lead in conference play with 2 games to play. We outshot the Tribe 50% to 35% and controlled the boards 44-32 to offset our 18 turnovers compared to William & Mary’s 9. [20-7, 12-4]

SG Dominick Collins topped our scoring with 17 points. PG Jon Spann scored 14 and PF Kevin Holmes and SG Copley Dwiggins each scored 11 while C Donyell Porter had 11 rebounds.

Game #28—Returning home to face the Drexel Dragons (11-16, 6-10), we were lifeless in the first half, falling behind by as much as 9 points and trailing at the end of the half 31-28. Coach Haynes kicked butt during the half. While not playing great, the team improved its performance in the 2nd half and ever so slowly overtook the Dragons and then expanded the lead to finish with an unimpressive and sloppy 66-54 win. We made 20 turnovers and Drexel had 18 turnovers. But we outshot the Dragons 47% to 32%. [21-7, 13-4]

PG Jon Spann with 15 points and SG Dominick Collins with 12 points were our only players to score in double figures.

Game #29—We hit the road for our final game of the regular season against the Northeastern Huskies (14-14, 11-6). Both teams have 5 game win streaks on the line. The first half was fiercely fought with neither team being able to gain control. But when the half ended we trailed 46-42. Trailing 71-69, we went on a 10-0 run. Northeastern fought back to reduce our lead to 82-81 with 2 minutes to go. We led 84-83 with 28 seconds to go. Northeastern missed a shot and we got the rebound. The Huskies fouled Copley Dwiggins with 13 seconds on the clock. Dwiggins sunk both free throws to put us ahead by 3. We pressed and as time was running out, the Huskies 3 point shot banged off the front rim. We had escaped with an 86-83 victory to lock in 1st place in the Colonial Athletic Association. [22-7, 14-4]

C Donyell Porter scored 13 points and pulled down 8 boards. SG Dominick Collins and SF Freddie Jackson both scored 12, SF Mac MacCaffery dropped in 11 points, and both PF Kevin Holmes and SG Copley Dwiggins scored 10.

#11 seed Towson Tigers (25-7) vs #6 seed Mississippi Rebels (20-13): We’re back to the Big Dance for the 4th straight year and are, as usual, the underdog. We were keeping up with Ole Miss, but then they hit four straight 3’s putting us down by 13. Mississippi kept hitting shots and we didn’t (28% shooting in the first half), so we never recovered and trailed 47-26 at the half. Mississippi scored the first 7 points of the 2nd half. We just didn’t have it in us to make a serious comeback and got blown out by a final score of 85-64.
SG Dominick Collins had a big 2nd half to finish with 25 points and SF Mac MacCaffery scored 14.

Awards:

Dominick Collins was the CAA Player of the Year
Dominick Collins was selected to the CAA 1st Team All-Conference
Donyell Porter was selected to the CAA 1st Team All-Conference

Matt Barnes, 2nd Assistant Coach (Recruiting)

We had absolutely no money left in our recruiting budget so our efforts the past few months have been limited to making phone calls to recruits. Even so, in mid-April we landed our 3rd and final recruit…SF David LeClercq, a 6-8 HS senior from Leonardtown, MD. We’re looking at him to play mostly PF for us since he’s a good rebounder and a good inside scorer. Neither he nor our other two recruits this season (PG Glen Fox and SG Marcue Worrell) are standouts. While unlikely to become stars, I believe they can develop into solid players for us in the future.

[With the development of DDSCB2021, I decided to finish the season I’d already started using DDSCB2020 and then move on to DDSCB2021. I therefore flew through the 2024-2025 season…my apologies for imposing a no frills season on you. Kenyon Haynes didn’t really want a bunch of different people reporting about “his” team. Now that season is over. So this post closes out this dynasty report. But the Frederick Aura saga continues…he transitions to DDSCB2021 with a move into a new dynasty report (“SAME FEDORA-NEW CROWN?”).]
