It seems only fitting to get these released the day after The Oscars. There’s some commentary and reasoning sprinkled in as well. And as mentioned last week, we’re staying away from All Defensive team. It’s way too subjective. Player of the Year Charles Jenkins, Hofstra: Do I actually need to detail the reasons? First Team, [...]

I had just returned from a Sunday stroll in the park with my family. It was a beautiful day, and as much as I like college basketball I enjoy getting out into nature even more. So it was with a full heart and more-than-half-full glass of life that I returned home and checked my email. [...]

Here’s the set up for next week’s CAA tournament. We’re going to assume Mason beats Georgia State. (The Patriots are up 31-26 at the half.) If the Panthers come back to win, switch the 8 and 9 next to GSU and The Dubmen. Otherwise, here we are: NOON FRIDAY UNCW (8) vs. Ga State (9). [...]

Let’s assume the “people you think will win” actually do so tomorrow. That’s VCU over JMU, Hofstra over Delaware, ODU over William & Mary, Northeastern over UNCW, Mason over Georgia State, and Drexel over Towson. That would yield a field of: Mason ODU Hofstra VCU Drexel JMU Delaware UNCW Ga State NU W&M Towson We’d [...]

Here we go: STANDINGS (1) Mason 15-2 ODU 13-4 Hofstra 13-4 VCU 12-5 Drexel 10-7 JMU 9-8 Delaware 8-9 UNCW 7-10 Ga State 6-11 (10) NU 5-12 (11) W&M 4-13 (12) Towson 0-17 *** We know that Mason is the #1 seed, NU is the #10 seed, W&M is the #11 seed, and Towson is [...]

Haven’t checked the ghoogles, the twitters, or any other news source yet this morning, but I had to get this off my chest. So much more coming, including Tiebreaker Saturday, previews of tourney coverage, and whatever else I can figure out. This time seven days from now, a scoreboard operator is making sure all the [...]

You know what’s funny? Our passion for the CAA. What you are about to read is a tiebreaker analysis. However it’s about half done, because it hit me that I should probably wait until the outcome of tonight games. That would be, you know, smarter. Anyway, enjoy my excitidity, the combination of excitement and stupidity. [...]

So far to go in these next couple of days. We’ll probably go multiple short posts since there’s a ton of information to parse, but I’m still required to pay my mortgage. Keep checking back. *** You do realize that next Friday at this time, some of you will be filing into the Richmond Coliseum–and [...]

Four games on the docket, highlighted by VCU visiting Philadelphia to take on Drexel. Some will remember in the first matchup, Bruiser Flint picked up a pair of technical fouls in the game’s waning seconds. The flub handed VCU a victory in a game it trailed throughout. The 52-48 game was January 5–a lifetime ago [...]

You probably don’t know Matt Holt, but there’s a darn good chance you’ve seen him, read him, or felt a downstream impact of his work. Holt is a graduating senior at Northeastern and one of the team’s basketball managers. Coaches depend on their managers as unsung heroes, for everything from laundry to pens to running [...]
