NEWS AND NOTES
THAT’S CALLED A WINNING STREAK
The CAA enters the week with two teams in the top 75 of the NET, as Charleston is at 53 and UNCW at 74. Charleston (11-1), UNCW (9-3), Towson (8-4), and Delaware (7-4) give the CAA four teams at least three games over .500 and three on impressive winning streaks, as Charleston has won 10 straight entering Monday night’s game at Coastal Carolina, UNCW has been victorious in eight straight contests, and Delaware has won its last four games.
 
The CAA is 5-2 vs. the Sun Belt and 7-3 vs. both the A10 and SoCon this winter. The conference also holds wins over the ACC and American and seven Q1/Q2 wins between the top four teams with two each for Charleston and Hofstra, while UNCW, Towson, and Delaware each have one.
 
KINGS OF KING STREET (AND POP?) 
Charleston is 11-1 with wins over five NCAA Tournament teams and three defending conference champions (ACC, A10, SoCon), a title in the Charleston Classic, and the lone setback at preseason No. 1 North Carolina followed by a current 10-game winning streak. The Cougars are 11-1 to start the year for the first time since a win at UMBC on January 13, 1992. The No. 1 song on the Billboard chart that week: “Black or White” by Michael Jackson.
 
SEAHAWKS SOARING ON AN EVEN KEEL
UNCW has won eight straight games following Sunday’s victory over High Point. The Seahawks have climbed 102 spots in KenPom, won the Baha Mar Hoops event, and defeated a member of The American during the streak. The Seahawks have nine players averaging at least 4.7 points per game with Trazarien White leading the team in scoring (13.5 ppg) and rebounding (5.8 rpg). UNCW’s bench has outscored the opposition’s reserves in all eight games of the winning streak.
