CAA Men’s Basketball Statistics by Season

I combined files for each season into PDFs. For the more recent seasons that I already attached PDF files, I attached files to this post with more pages. The 17 files are 568 pages, which is an average length of 33.41 pages.

I posted CAA lineups of the day on CSNBBS, I included the game on Saturday with the four games on Sunday. I’m going to post the names here, and you can see their statistics from those games at https://csnbbs.com/thread-867244.html

CAA Men’s Basketball Teams in Rankings

Yesterday the CAA moved up 1 spot to 18th of 32 in the Conference RPI, which is still much worse than 12th last season, 11th two seasons ago, and 9th three seasons ago. The sum of the ranks of CAA teams in the NET is 1,983, which is the first time in a while it has been under 2,000. That’s an average of 198.3, and the average rank of the 353 Division I teams is 177th. Yesterday, College of Charleston moved up 8 spots to 58th, and Hofstra moved up 7 spots to 61st. Hofstra is a 13 seed in the Bracketology by ESPN’s Joe Lunardi projected with the CAA’s automatic bid.

CAA Men’s Basketball: January 3, 2018 Results and January 5, 2018 Schedule

The CAA played 4 games yesterday, with William & Mary at Delaware on SNY, NBC Sports Philadelphia+, and NBC Sports Washington+. I get SNY, and I DVRed it. Travel partners Hofstra and Northeastern had off, so it was nice to have a game on TV while Hofstra wasn’t playing. All the CAA games are streamed online for free, but it’s nice to be on TV, and it was the first CAA Men’s Basketball game on SNY this season. Northeastern got every home game except one on NESN or NESN Plus, and William & Mary got some home games on Yurview in Virginia where they play. I don’t get those channels. The CAA used to have a TV deal with plenty of games on TV. Now the CAA does not have a TV deal, and Delaware, Northeastern, and William & Mary made their own deals. The CAA has 12 games on CollegeSportsLive online, which are done by professional announcers not working for one school and/or one radio station. 2 of those games have been played. It is not the same as being on TV.

Here are yesterday’s scores:

Delaware won 58-56 hosting William & Mary

Drexel won 79-65 hosting Elon

College of Charleston won 67-55 at Towson

UNC Wilmington won 86-83 at James Madison in double overtime, which was the second consecutive day of CAA games that had a team win away in double overtime. Delaware won 82-80 at Northeastern in double overtime on Sunday.

Here is tomorrow’s schedule:

UNC Wilmington at Towson at 2:00 P.M.

William & Mary at Drexel at 4:00 P.M.

College of Charleston at James Madison at 4:00 P.M.

Northeastern at Hofstra at 4:00 P.M.

Elon at Delaware at 7:00 P.M.

CAA Men’s Basketball Schedule and Travel Partners

This season the CAA made the 10 teams into 5 pairs of travel partners. I like the concept, but I don’t like that teams play only 1 game the weeks they play their travel partner. I would have preferred that teams play their travel partner consecutively in one week. The reason is that I like when teams have the same amount of conference games played. Some conferences don’t care about that, but in recent seasons the CAA has had every team have the same amount of conference games with rare exceptions like postponements due to weather. Each team will play 18 CAA games in 10 weeks. Teams will play Friday December 28 and Sunday December 30 followed by the Thursday and Saturday pairs of January 3 and 5, January 10 and 12, January 17 and 19, January 24 and 26, January 31 and February 2, February 7 and 9, February 14 and 16, February 21 and 23, and February 28 and March 2. The travel partners that play this week are UNC Wilmington and College of Charleston. UNC Wilmington will host College of Charleston on Saturday. UNC Wilmington chose to play on Saturday because the teams didn’t have two games that required a day off in between. Hofstra plays travel partner Northeastern at home on Saturday January 5 and at Northeastern on Saturday February 2. The travel partners listed from north to south are:

Northeastern in Boston and Hofstra in Hempstead, NY

Drexel in Philadelphia and Delaware in Newark (northwestern Delaware)

Towson in Towson, MD (just north of Baltimore) and James Madison in Harrisonburg, VA (northwestern Virginia)

William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA (southeastern Virginia) and Elon in Elon, NC (in between Greensboro and Durham)

UNC Wilimington in Wilmington, NC (southeastern North Carolina) and College of Charleston in Charleston, SC (southeastern South Carolina)

CAA Men’s Basketball Results and Statistics by Team For Previous Seasons

I used the NCAA’s website to get a schedule page and statistics page for every CAA team for complete seasons. I attached five PDF files that each have 2 pages per team. The CAA has 10 teams now and had 10 teams from 2014-2015 through 2017-2018. The CAA had 9 teams in 2013-2014. I plan on doing the seasons starting with Hofstra’s first season in the CAA in 2001-2002. From 2001-2002 through 2017-2018 is 17 seasons and 184 team seasons. I spent time downloading each page and combining many pages into one file per season. I don’t know when I will finish, but here are five downloadable files for now:

2017-2018 CAA Men’s Basketball Results and Statistics by Team

Introduction and Links

I liked when there were blogs about Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Men’s Basketball and one specifically for Hofstra. These sites no longer exist. I decided to do something about it by blogging. I already post on message boards. Here are some links:

1. Men’s Basketball Conference RPI: http://warrennolan.com/basketball/2019/conferencerpi

RPI means Ratings percentage Index. Many sites have RPIs, and unfortunately they are not identical. I use Warren Nolan’s site, which updates constantly. He also has RPIs for Women’s Basketball and Baseball. Unfortunately, he stopped having RPIs for Softball, which Hofstra is good at.

2. Men’s Basketball NET: https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

The NCAA made the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) which they are testing by using it for Men’s Basketball while continuing to use the RPI for other sports in 2018-2019. This site updates once a day. It ranks all 353 teams but does not have exact values, and the NCAA has not released its formula.

3. Men’s Basketball Sagarin Ratings by Conference: https://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaab/sagarin/2019/conference/

Jeff Sagarin makes his rankings so that the point difference between the teams plus or minus 3.20 for home court predicts the margin of the game. He makes rankings for multiple sports. He does not announce his formula so USA Today can have exclusivity rather than other people being able to reproduce his rankings. For next season, this link will have the 2018-2019 rankings, and you will need to change the year in the URL to 2020 to get the 2019-2020 rankings.

4. Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Men’s Basketball section: https://caasports.com/index.aspx?path=mbball&

5. CAA Men’s Basketball statistics:

https://static.caasports.com/custompages/stats/MBB/201819/CONFSTAT.HTM

For next season, you will need to change 201819 in the URL to 201920. You can get Women’s Basketball statistics by changing MBB in the URL to WBB. The CAA has statistics going back to 2005-2006, which is 200506 in the URL. Some conferences have statistics going farther back.

6. NCAA Men’s Basketball Statistics from ESPN: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/statistics

There are the Top 100 players in individual statistics and all teams in team statistics.

7. CAA Men’s Basketball scoreboard from ESPN: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/scoreboard/_/group/10

8. Hofstra statistics during home games: http://www.statbroadcast.com/events/statbroadcast.php?t=1&gid=hofs

It has links to statistics during home games for all Hofstra sports. All CAA teams use this form of statistics, which I love. It provides much more detail than you get from ESPN about NBA or NCAA games. When Hofstra plays at a team in another conference, sometimes that school uses this statistics format and sometimes that school uses another statistics format.

9. Hofstra Men’s Basketball schedule: https://gohofstra.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball

Using a drop-down menu you can get Hofstra’s schedule for every season going back to 2000-2001

10. My twitter: https://twitter.com/EvanJ3535/

Most of what I tweet is not about Hofstra. The sport I tweet the most about is baseball, but I don’t tweet about sports much during their offsesason.

11. Defiantly Dutch blog: http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/

This is by Jerry Beach, who is a journalist. He has historical statistics that I like that are not easily available.

12. Jerry Beach’s twitter: https://twitter.com/JerryBeach73

13. Hofstra Men’s Basketball season statistics:

To get previous seasons, change the URL how I described for Link 5.

14. Flying Dutchmen Fans message board: http://www.flyingdutchmenfans.com/index.php?sid=e4dae2a923907a713e86036357ee58cc

My username is EvanJ. I have 1,626 posts, which is the fourth most.

15. CSNBBS message board’s CAA section: https://csnbbs.com/forum-677.html

My username is EvanJ. Of the ten CAA teams, three have a significant amount of fans there. They are James Madison, UNC Wilmington, and William & Mary. Northeastern and Drexel might have 3 to 5 fans. There’s one fan of Elon and one fan of College of Charleston who don’t post much. I’m the only fan of Hofstra. There are no fans of Delaware or Towson.

16. College Basketball at Sports-Reference Play Index: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/play-index/

Unfortunately it does not go as far back as the Sports-Reference Play Indexes for other sports. I love the baseball-reference Play Index. Many of my tweets cite play indexes.
