NEWS AND NOTES

MONDAY MATCHUPS

Two home games against Atlantic 10 opponents and a visit to a top-25 Big Ten school make up Monday’s schedule to begin the second week of the year.

Hofstra looks to improve to 3-0 with a game against George Washington and Charleston looks for another quality victory with a visit from Richmond, while Monmouth faces No. 19 Illinois (9 p.m., BTN).

THREE AND GOH

Towson opened the year with wins over UAlbany, UMass, and Penn, making the Tigers one of only seven teams nationally to defeat three Division I opponents in the season’s first week. Towson is joined on the list by Mississippi State, Missouri, Quinnipiac, Rutgers, Saint Mary’s, and Virginia Tech.

BACK IN THE NEW YORK WIN COLUMN

Hofstra downed Iona Friday night in Hempstead to improve to 2-0 on the year. Tyler Thomas scored 26 points with a go-ahead three-pointer with 35 seconds to go lifting the Pride to victory.

The Pride has a winning record against in-state foes in six of the last eight seasons prior to this year.

POLLING PLACES

CAA teams have seven games scheduled against teams in the preseason AP Top 25 plus five more against teams receiving votes.

The conference will face 16 non-league opponents ranked or receiving votes in the preseason College Insider Mid-Major Top 25, while six CAA teams were recognized: No. 8 Towson, No. 24 Hofstra, and the quartet of Charleston, Delaware, UNCW, and Northeastern receiving votes.

GET LOW

Charleston had a successful National Signing Day, with Pat Kelsey and the Cougars staff inking what one site calculated as the nation’s top mid-major recruiting class.

At the time of Charleston’s announcement, 247 Sports ranked the group headed to the Lowcountry at No. 40.

LUCKY NUMBER NINE

The No. 9 team in the preseason poll has gone on to earn at least a share of the CAA regular season title in each of the last two seasons, with UNCW earning a co-championship last year and JMU the top spot in 2021.

Stony Brook was picked ninth in the CAA preseason poll in its first year in the league.

IT STARTS WITH DEFENSE

Drexel’s Amari Williams looks to follow a recent trend of the previous year’s CAA Defensive Player of the Year cutting down nets the following March.

Three times in the last eight seasons, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year has contributed to the title-winning team: Northeastern’s Scott Eatherton (2014-15), Northeastern’s Shawn Occeus (2018-19), and Hofstra’s Desure Buie (2019-20).
