JMU vs Northeastern for the bid

JMU vs Northeastern for the bid

I follow this league pretty closely given Drexel is my 2nd favorite team behind Minnesota. I actually think UNCW and William & Mary are the two best teams in the league. But W&M has been playing like crap down the stretch. I'd say any of the top 6 winning it wouldn't surprise me. If I had to guess who'd win it, I'd pick UNCW.

I would love to see a 5 win Drexel team take it home though. lol

Hofstra hasn't been bad, they beat Florida State and St. Bonaventure and only lost to South Carolina by 10, there's some hope with them.

James Madison didn't play too badly against West Virginia early this year.

UNC Wilmington had Georgetown on the ropes

Bill and Mary have some good potential, they beat NC State, lost by only 3 on the road to Dayton, and didn't do too badly of a job against Virginia either.

Northeastern is definitely an interesting prospect, they took down Miami of Florida earlier this year on the road, which is pretty amazing when you consider how many great teams have been unable to do that this year, Northeastern had a horrible mid-season stretch where they lost 8 of 9 games

This league has a potential upset maker here, a lot of these teams have some good performances against top competition

still I miss the days when this was a multi bid league

The CAA was decimated by realignment. ODU, Mason and VCU made this league great, for mid-major standards.

I agree, it's also disappointing that George Mason and Old Dominion have dropped off lately, both those programs used to be good every year

CAA starts today in B-More. Let's go Dragons!

 

[ericd7633]

Drexel wins 57-56 as Elon misses a jumper at the buzzer!! Dragons move on to play Hofstra. Pumped I get to watch them on TV tomorrow at noon!

 

[ericd7633]

This William & Mary/Hofstra game has been really, really good.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

This is a good one too

This is a good one too

Going back and forth with this one and the MAAC title. Really good shit.

I think that was the right call. You agree?

I must have missed it, I've been primarily watching the MAC with two As

 

[bksballer89]

Hofstra down 2

UNCW are dancing

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Looks like UNC-Wilmington is going to win

Four schools from NC are now going to the big dance in Wilmington, Asheville, Carolina and Duke.

Might we see another UNC-W/Maryland match up in the Big Dance? The stars may be aligned to make that happen. I can see UNC-W being a 13 and MD being 4.
