Yale blew a 24-point second-half lead against Sacred Heart in Saturday’s season opener. As tough as the loss is, the challenge for the Bulldogs going forward from this is clear.
But Wait - There's More!
Quinnipiac follows formula to victory but has a concern on offense
Quinnipiac was supposed to win their opener at Hartford on Saturday in the Connecticut 6 Classic opener. They did that by a 65-61 margin, and they did it the way they will probably have to win much of this season.
Young Hartford tries to nagivate through growing pains
John Gallagher talked a lot on Saturday about building a program. There’s a good reason, since the third-year Hartford head coach is in the process of doing that with a young team and navigating through the inevitable growing pains they will have.
Confident Boston University tries to take tough opening loss in stride

Delaware Blue Hens 2012-13 Preview

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.
