FREE – CAA media day is upon us

by Mike Harris on October 19, 2009

It’s been chilly.  Leaves are starting to fall.  Pumpkins are everywhere.  It must be time for *** basketball season!

The Colonial Athletic Association will conduct its media day festivites tomorrow in Washington, D.C.  Check back mid-afternoon for a couple of stories here at Virginia Sports Now.  We’ll post the predicted order of finishes (men/women) and preseason all-league teams in one file and then do a separate story.  We’ll also gather some material for more stories later in the week.

In the meantime, let’s have some fun and start a discussion.  VCU and first-year coach Shaka Smart figure to be picked for a high finish (maybe No. 1?) and the Rams should be represented on the preseason all-league team.   Share with us your thoughts on the CAA predicted order of finish – and who are the league’s best players?

Let’s see how close we can come to matching the official CAA order.  It figures to be a wild, well-balanced men’s season and it’s likely no two ballots will be the same.
