Which ODU Athletic Team will win the First C-USA Championship?
I think our Baseball team has a good shot this year. The right pitching and the right hitting, and anything can happen.

If you had asked me when we first announced, I would have emphatically said WBB. However, while I think recruiting is very good, I have been disappointed in the effort and schemes.
Baseball is a great call, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that MBB has a shot this upcoming season.

Baseball is a possibility, but Rice, and UAB, among others are going to be tough to take down. Having likely the best defense in CUSA should help. I'll go with baseball since it's the next to be decided, then probably soccer.

It is not a CUSA sport. Field hockey plays in the Big East.

I actually think men's basketball. The competition is good in CUSA, but it's not great.

But with so many teams it's also more difficult than the CAA. The tournament alone is a grind.
My money is on baseball. Finny is quietly building a very solid program, taking over the mess that Meyers left behind. Looking more and more like a fantastic hire by WS.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the only two series the Monarchs have lost in conference are to Rice (no shame in that) and UAB. Those were the first two series. Since then, we've won five straight sets.

Not being a close follower of baseball before now, I admit I did not think much of Finwood at first. Glad to say he's made a believer out of me. Very impressed with this team. I suspect they'll get better and better now in C-USA

My guess, WBB, Soccer, Mens Hoops, Baseball, Football in that order. My hope, Mens Hoops, Football, WBB, Soccer, Baseball. If it comes this year, I'd be happy with any or all of them.
