Record vs. the Rams: 0-2
Player to watch: With 137 assists in her first year, point guard Kyle DeHaven created dozens of scoring opportunities for the Tribe, but her 152 turnovers gave her opponents even more chances to get on the board.

7. George Mason

Record vs. the Rams: 3-0 with a 73-59 win in the CAA semifinals
Player to watch: The only thing more impressive than the 17 points per game Jen Derevjanik dropped in the regular season, is the 25-point clip in the CAA tournament. She stuck the Rams up for 40 points in a 73-59 win in the semifinals.

8. UNC-Wilmington
Last Season: 10-8 CAA, 15-13 Overall
Record vs. the Rams: 2-0

Record vs. the Rams: 0-2
Player to watch: Atlee High School grad Narissa Suber scored 25 points in the Dragons’ first exhibition game of the season. The freshman was 9 of 13 from the floor, knocking down seven three-pointers. Try not to confuse her with twin sister Anora Suber.

Record vs. the Rams: 0-2
Player to watch: Preseason All-CAA first-teamer Kacy O’Brien is one of the Tigers three returning starters to average double-digit points last season. Her 15 points and 6 rebounds a night highlighted Towson’s otherwise dismal season.
