This Thread should be more volatile this year with the potential for late adds and late drops due to COVID. The next 4 weeks should be very very interesting.
As of now the CAA has the following chances to knock off power conference teams with the added benefit of minimal home court advantage due to zero or few fans in attendance.
Hopefully games are added as opponents bail last minute for quarantine and JMU along with other CAA teams get Additional primo games.
Delaware - none
JMU - Florida
Towson - UVA
UNCW - Ol’ Miss
CoC - UNC
Northeastern - Georgia
Hofstra - Rutgers
Drexel - Pitt, Penn St. (postponed)
W&M - NC State, UVA
Elon - Duke, UNC
Tomorrow starts with 2 opportunities.
Towson will likely get schooled by UVA.
CoC has a better chance against UNC.
The heels are coming off of an embarrassing season and have a ton of Freshmen in their first college game so they should be vulnerable. They may be the tallest team in the country Though with 6 dudes at 6’10” or taller
Earl Grant is a good coach and if he can use ball pressure Full court to make this a guard game, the CoC will have a shooter’s chance to pull the upset even if they get out rebounded by 15.
Note that JMU gets 2 games at home vs CoC this year in the funky CAA schedule. Would be nice to have CoC come to the AUBC with a UNC win under their belt.
