The Panthers enter their final season in the CAA in a similar situation to Old Dominion, and not just because they’re leaving. Like the Monarchs, they don’t have much returning and thus have a lot unknown.
But Wait - There's More!
Hofstra Pride 2012-13 Preview
Hofstra is another team with a lot of newcomers to integrate, but the added challenge for the Pride is in the transfers that are among the newcomers. There is enough talent to make a big leap, but there are questions as well.
James Madison Dukes 2012-13 Preview
Last year was one to forget for the Dukes, who may have given new meaning to the phrase “injury-riddled.” Matt Brady will get at least one more year to get this team going, and he comes back with a veteran team, a term not being used lightly as they have five fifth-year seniors.
Northeastern Huskies 2012-13 Preview
The Huskies are a sleeper contender this season, especially after a couple of players transferred this off-season. What they return is an underrated and experienced backcourt that could drive this team a long way.
Old Dominion Monarchs 2012-13 Preview
In the Monarchs’ last go-round in the CAA, there is a big newness factor as seven of their 12 players have never checked into a college game and the all-important point guard spot is likely wide open.
Towson Tigers 2012-13 Preview
It’s easy to say Towson will be better this season when one looks at their record last season. But the Tigers seem poised to make a significant leap thanks largely to a big jump in the talent base.
UNCW Seahawks 2012-13 Preview
A year after the Seahawks looked to be starting over, they appear to be doing just that again thanks to transfers. It looks to be another rebuilding year while they are ineligible for the NCAA Tournament due to low APR scores.
William & Mary Tribe 2012-13 Preview
Last year was one to forget for the Tribe as they were ravaged by injuries and never got untracked. They hope to ride their talented perimeter unit to a better season this time around.
Exhibition loss could be a blessing in disguise for Holy Cross
Sunday’s 71-63 loss to neighboring Assumption College was certainly not what Milan Brown wanted. But regardless of the result, the Holy Cross mentor, now in his third season at the school, was surely going to come away knowing his team had a good deal of work ahead.
Boston College is still young but should be significantly improved
A year after being about as young as a team can be, Boston College should be significantly improved. At the very least, a lot more is known about this team than a year ago at this time.
