Interesting CAA hoops blog post.

Here is the section from Greg Doyle's article on CBS sportsline about Hofstra:

"Hofstra: The Colonial has a good shot at bids for NC-Wilmington and George Mason, and while three bids is a reach, it's not out of the question. This is where Hofstra (16-4, 9-3; No. 58) comes into play. Old Dominion has a better RPI (No. 47), but Hofstra swept the Monarchs. The Pride sit third in what looks like a two-bid league, but if they finish off a season sweep at NC-Wilmington on Feb. 15 ... then beat George Mason on Feb. 23 ... and avoid a first-round loss in the CAA Tournament ... they'd be difficult for the selection committee to turn down."

And he mentions UNCW as one of Colorado's quality wins:

" Colorado: Any mock bracket that includes Colorado isn't a mock bracket at all. It's a joke bracket. Forget its record. The Buffaloes (15-4, 5-3; No. 48) aren't NCAA-worthy ... yet. Right now, Colorado's best wins are against three other bubble teams (NC-Wilmington, Nebraska, Oklahoma State). That's a resume in dire need of bold print -- and the Buffs will get two chances at that. Oklahoma visits on Feb. 15, Colorado plays at Kansas on March 1. Here's the deal, and it's the best (accurate) deal you're going to get, Colorado: Beat Oklahoma or Kansas, and win four of the other six games on your schedule. That's a 5-3 finish that would put Colorado at 20-7 entering the Big 12 Tournament. Win a game there -- against anyone -- and the Buffaloes are in."

And here is a clip of Hofstra's game winning shot over ODU. I know this is old news but I just found it.

And also compare and contrast to VCU gamewinner over Drexel.

Gotta love this league.
