2013 CAA Awards: How one person voted
As the CAA gets ready to hand out awards, here is a look at how I voted. The biggest award was a tough call, while two other big awards were easy calls to make.
2012-13 Big Sky Conference Preview
In 2012-13, a couple of consistent powerhouses should remain contenders, including one who lost an NBA lottery pick. In addition, teams with new head coaches are headed for rebuilding years.
Delaware Blue Hens 2012-13 Preview
This is the season Monte Ross has been building towards since taking over. The Blue Hens have a lot going for them, from two of the best players in the conference to one who was perhaps the hottest freshman at the end of last season to a deeper bench.
Drexel Dragons 2012-13 Preview
There’s every reason to pick Drexel to win the CAA. The Dragons will have the conference’s best backcourt, best defense, a veteran cast and plenty of good candidates to take Samme Givens’ place up front as their only departure from last season’s team.
George Mason Patriots 2012-13 Preview
George Mason might have as much talent as anyone in the CAA. The reason they aren’t picked higher is that there are a couple of questions about this team as of now that could be answered affirmatively, and as such it’s not hard to imagine them contending for the top spot this season.
Georgia State Panthers 2012-13 Preview
