RE: 2015 - 2016 CAA Conference schedule
More info on the 2015-2016 schedule, from W&M:
RICHMOND, Va. - The Colonial Athletic Association announced its 2015-16 men’s basketball schedule on Monday afternoon, highlighted by nine games televised nationally on the NBC Sports Network. The defending regular season champion William & Mary will have two of the six regular season national broadcasts. The Tribe opens the league slate at home for the fourth-straight year, this time on New Year’s Eve, and will have five Saturday home games in CAA play.
W&M’s first national NBCSN broadcast will be on Saturday, Feb. 6, when the Green and Gold hosts Delaware for a 2:30 p.m. tip. The regular season finale at James Madison on Saturday, Feb. 27, will also be nationally televised on NBCSN. The Tribe, Delaware, Northeastern, Hofstra and JMU will each have two national NBC Sports Network broadcasts, the most in the league.
W&M’s first two league games come at home as part of the New Year holiday weekend. The Tribe hosts Towson on New Year’s Eve, Thursday, Dec. 31, before ringing in 2016 with the College of Charleston two days later on Saturday, Jan. 2.
The Green and Gold plays three of its first four league games at home. Following a trip to Drexel on Thursday, Jan. 7, W&M meets Northeastern in a rematch of the CAA Championship Game from last season at Kaplan Arena on Saturday, Jan. 9.
The Tribe embarks on a stretch that includes four out of five on the road. W&M makes its southern trip in the CAA to Charleston (Jan. 14) and UNCW (Jan. 16), before returning home to face Elon on Thursday, Jan. 21. The Green and Gold travel to Hofstra (Jan. 23) and Delaware (Jan. 28) to close out the stretch.
W&M hosts James Madison on Saturday, Jan. 30, and then treks to Northeastern for the first game of February on Saturday the fourth. After opening the month on the road, the Tribe plays four of its next five at home inside Kaplan Arena. Following the NBCSN broadcast against Delaware on Feb. 6, W&M hosts Hofstra on Thursday, Feb. 11. The Tribe travels to Towson on Feb. 13, before warping up its home schedule against UNCW (Feb. 18) and Drexel (Feb. 20).
The final two games of the regular season will come on the road at Elon (Feb. 25) and James Madison (Feb. 27). The game with the Dukes will be the second NBCSN broadcast with a 2:30 p.m. start time.
