no Nevada or Utah St?

Nevada is in the WAC and Utah St. is in the MWC I believe, neither of which is regarded a mid-major conference by the Mid-Major Top 25. They are regarded as similar to the A-10 in that regard.

 

[VCUFTW]

thats confusing how they grade mid-majors, but thanks for the explanation DB

You've got Butler, Gonzaga, and teams from the Valley in the "mid-major" poll...but not WAC or MWC... riiiiight

I'de like to see at least 6 CAA teams in that thing early on...

VCU
ODU
NU
GMU
Hofstra
and JMU

This COULD be a heck of a year for the CAA...A 2 bid-er if there ever was one

not if they keep shooting 7% from 3 point land, they won't.

 

[ramnation]

ODU went 1-15 from 3, 55% from the free throw line and CAA Preseason Co-Player of the Year Gerald Lee (aka Mr. Softee) scored 8 points on 3-8 shooting in 20 minutes as ODU beat Barton College 91-62 in their exhibition tonight. They allowed Barton to shoot 9-20 from 3 for 45%.

They've been bricklayers for quite some time now.

The only way that will happen is if the CAA teams pick up some key wins out of the conference. I'm afraid when conference play starts, the CAA teams are going to beat up on each other due to the depth of the league and in the long run that will hurt the CAA's chances of landing two in the NCAA.

 

[Mercury]

As long as we get in I don't care what happens with the rest of the CAA

 

[VRam]

We will win the whole thing again this year. I don't have any doubt.
