Historical Context

The William & Mary and UNCW women's basketball programs have a long history of competition as conference rivals. Both schools were founding members of the CAA's predecessor, the ECAC South, in 1985. They have played annually since UNCW joined the conference for the 1984-85 season. The all-time series favors William & Mary. Entering the 2023-24 season, the Tribe held a significant lead in the win column against the Seahawks. Recent seasons have seen competitive games. In the 2022-23 season, the teams split their two regular-season meetings, with each winning on their home court. The last meeting prior to the current season was on February 19, 2023, a 67-59 victory for UNCW in Wilmington. This historical parity in recent years adds uncertainty to the prediction market for their March 1 matchup. The game is part of the final stretch of the CAA regular season, which concludes on March 10, 2024, before the conference tournament.
