Game! Of! The! Night! 11/29/2007 - Drexel at George Mason
We here at The Mid-Majority are 100 percent for early conference games and schedule gerrymandering if it gives us games like this, contests that will shape the conversation in leagues like the CAA for weeks to come. Whether this is the first step towards 40-game regular seasons and/or starting the action in mid-October, I guess we'll find out eventually.

Game! Of! The! Night! 1/6/2009 - Miami (Oh.) at Dayton
"Super" Tuesdays are tough for finding games during January and February. It's the in-between night when the power conferences hog all the TV time as well as the good officials, and a number of mid-major leagues have been wise to avoid running out full slates as a result.

MMBOW #9 - Josh Akognon, Cal State Fullerton
Before the 2007-08 season, Josh Akognon transferred from Washington State to Cal State Fullerton with two years of eligibility remaining -- his point production doubled, and he set school single-season records for 3-point field goals and free throw percentage. That's an indication that maybe he wasn't in the right place before. And in his senior season, he's putting up some more big numbers.

Game! Of! The! Night! Jan 19 - Hofstra at Old Dominion
The CAA went into the New York area to raise the league's visibility, so it's odd that of all the good-but-not-great teams that make up the league's core this year, Hofstra has received the least love. They won nine of ten against the middle of the RPI table in late December and early January, and are coming off a triple overtime barnburner against UNCW.

The Mid-Majority vs. Quality
With five seconds remaining in overtime, the home team was down by a single point. A packed and sweltering arena roared. The wise old coach, a veteran of these tense situations, quickly drew up a play during the final timeout and sent his charges back onto the floor.
