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

Rumors of George Mason and VCU being courted by the Atlantic 10 reached a fever pitch on Monday after a report said the rumors had some legs. One has to wonder why they would make such a move if it were on the table.
