Not sure about that at this point. It does appear that Hofstra has separated itself from the pack. I would also say Northeastern looks really good. I guess Charleston is 3 and Delaware 4 right now. Not sure what order I'd use beyond putting Hofstra and Northeastern in the top 2 at the moment.

You guys played a pretty good first half last night. I definitely see potential for the Seahawks to be better come tournament time than they are currently, but you guys, the Tribe and the rest of the teams are trying to get the consistent results that Hofstra is getting. The Tribe certainly had their chances to beat Hofstra and did not do it. But, unlike your 2017 squad, I haven't watched them and thought they are vastly superior to anyone else. I might pick Northeastern if the tournament started tomorrow(or COC due to the essential homecourt advantage).

If you win 3 of 4 hosting William & Mary, Elon, Towson, and James Madison; split your trip to Drexel and Delaware; and win at Elon; that would make 8-10.

You have much better Men's Basketball attendance, but Hofstra is above you in one measure of fans. It's a small amount for both teams, but Hofstra's athletics has 385 subscribers on YouTube compared to 363 for you. Both teams don't play Football. I was the first person to like Hofstra's highlights, and that was 18 hours after they were posted. CAASports has 1,023 subscribers. The ACC Digital Network has 130,617, which is 127.7 times what the CAA has.

Edit: You made highlights at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cyZGty1m7Y that are in reverse order except for two times when the next highlight shown happened after the previous one.

Are you bragging about youtube subscribers and somehow equating that is equal to getting fans in seats?

I know you have a propensity for numbers, but if that's your angle here that's a helluva stretch.

LOL

LOL... EvanJ everybody!!!!

I think he is just more surprised you dont have more followers on online measures and also how far behind the CAA is as a whole when compared to larger conferences.

Media promotion is not UNCWs suit

It would be interesting to see if there is any measure of viewers for games shown on CAA.TV. That would seem like a better measure than Youtube views if you want to address online.

Agree. YouTube clips/follows aren’t live and aren’t indicative of fan support, IMO.

I'm sure there are, I doubt they will be made public though barring some crazy number, like of our UNC home game ends up on CAA.TV next year

dan10 is right. I was surprised you had fewer subscribers than Hofstra, but I know Hofstra's amount isn't anything to brag about. I would be interested in seeing the amount of CAA.TV viewers, but I don't know if the CAA tracks that. It could be a low enough amount that the CAA streams all games for free without caring how many viewers there are. I have to point out that YouTube subscribers and views are different. An analogy is subscribers as how many people have ESPN bookmarked and views as how many people read any one article on ESPN. One family made a set of three YouTube videos released on consecutive days. The first one has 4,329,966 views, the second one has 2,117,770, and the third one has 2,137,222. I have no idea why the first one has more views than the other two combined.
