Hofstra left the friendly confines of America East for the Colonial Athletic Association and the promise of multiple post season bids to the NCAA Tournament. We all know how that hasn’t worked out for Hofstra. Zero since joining the CAA in the 2001-2002 season. While other mid major conferences (despite their disdain for that term) may state a case for three or four bids, the CAA most likely will have no more than two this season. After VCU (13-4) and George Mason (13-5), eight of the remaining 12 members are under .500 and out of at-large consideration. The only way to get three in this season would be for the front runners to keep winning and a third team emerge by winning the tournament and automatic bid. Don’t hold your breath.
