You heard many of the guys on the list during football season. Without a doubt though, our top target for hoops was Brian Mull. Thankfully, things worked out and we were lucky enough to have Brian on the latest episode to preview the CAA Basketball Tournament.<\/p>\n<p>We first became fans of Brian&#8217;s work when he was the UNCW beat writer for the Wilmington Star News. He did an outstanding job covering the league at large. He no longer covers hoops for the newspaper, but is a contributor for other outlets including <a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/fieldhouse\/\">The Fieldhouse<\/a>, the college basketball vertical at The Athletic.<\/p>\n<p>On this episode, we discuss the CAA basketball regular season, including some of the teams that surprised us (in both good ways and bad ways), reminisce about the CAA Hoops of old, and take a look at this weekend&#8217;s tourney down in Charleston. It was an absolute blast to record and we think you&#8217;ll enjoy it if you&#8217;re a long time CAAhoops-head, or a relatively newbie who&#8217;s looking to get smart on the league before this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>As always, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palefirebrewing.com\/\">Pale Fire Brewing<\/a> in Harrisonburg for sponsoring the JMUSB Podcast.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D10187&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we came up with the idea for the JMUSB Podcast, Todd and I had a list of guests we&#8217;d like to have on, should we actually get thing off the ground.
