Season 17 Preview.
The North: CUA, Goucher, Marymount, and Salisbury all can aspire for postseason berths. CUA's early top 25 victories should make an NT visit likely. We'll guess a 9 seed. Goucher has one of the best backcourts in D3, but lacks rebounding to take down the better teams. I'm guessing PIT for them. Marymount's SOS worries me, but they could still sneak in with a 15 to the NT. Salisbury is also destined for the PIT in my book, though the could slide up. They've got some great DEF aces.
The South: SMM is the only real contender here. I think Hood's rebounding issues will temper any early season success. I'm putting SMM in as a 12. Their SOS will not help their RPI. Hopefully the scheduled harder for next year.
I'm guessing our conference RPI will place us #4. Go CAC!
