CAA Basketball Weekly RoundUp – Week #10

Campbell sits at 2-1 in Conference Play after a victory at Hampton this past Thursday evening 1/9.? The Fighting Camels have their shortest road trip of the season for their next Conference Game as they travel to Elon on Monday night 1/13.? The game will be broadcast live on CBSSN at 9pm.? The problem is the NFL Playoffs are also on Monday Night.? I would say that the attendance at the game will be lackluster but the Carolina Panthers didn’t make the NFL Playoffs or did they?? Hampton defeated Delaware 83-77 to halt a three game losing streak.? The Pirates now face William & Mary before going on the road to face North Carolina A&T and then William & Mary again.? Wait – is the second game of the Pirates road trip against William or Mary – lol.? Monmouth embarks on a four game road trip after a big home win over Charleston.? The Hawks don’t arrive back home until Thursday evening 1/30.? The good news is that all of their road games are in North Carolina and Virginia which usually means semi warm weather in January.? The bad news is with climate control and the irregular weather these days it may be much colder in the South than usual. Monmouth will be lucky not to get snowed in on their road trip and not make it back home – right?? North Carolina A&T has lost 12 of their last 13 games with their lone victory coming over North Carolina Central in late December.? The Aggies may be able to pull the upset next Thursday night 1/16 when they host Monmouth who also has only won four games this season as well.? It will be difficult but the Aggies can’t possibly go winless in Conference Play this season can they?? I mean the Detroit Lions went winless in 2007 in the NFL in a 16 Game Season but even they are good this season – right?

Stony Brook currently sits at 0-4 in Conference Play with the dredded weekend trip to Delaware and Towson upcoming next weekend.? The Seawolves need to find a way to get a win and may need some luck.? Unfortunately they don’t play the Fighting Irish this Season.? The Seawolves next best chance to get in the win column may be against North Carolina A&T on Saturday 1/25 as the game tips off at 12pm.? Who knows maybe the Aggies will sleep in and miss the opening tip – lol.? UNC Wilmington is 2-2 in Conference Play so far but could be 4-0 as the Seahawks lost an overtime game to Towson in their Conference Opener and then suffered a three point defeat at Hofstra on Saturday afternoon 1/11.? A pair of home games await next weekend for the Seahawks as they host Northeastern and William & Mary over the long MLK Day Weekend.? Can the Seahawks avoid taking a trip to the beach over the long Holiday weekend to focus on Basketball and their upcoming opponents?? Who knows as the UNC Wilmington players may think it is a way early Spring Break – right?? William & Mary is riding a 5 game winning streak and is the only team that is undefeated in Conference Play.? The Tribe is 4-0 in Conference Play with their next two games on the road at Hampton and UNC Wilmington.? The game at UNC Wilmington is at 1pm on MLK Day and will be broadcast on CBSSN.? Can the Tribe return home to play Hampton on Thursday evening 1/23 with a 6-0 Conference record?? They definitely can if they can persuade the Pirates to tame the Seahawks – get it – lol. ?
