Hempstead N.Y. – Hofstra University Head Coach Tom Pecora, himself a true up-and-comer in the Division I coaching ranks, did his best to keep an even keel. 

With four teams legitimately battling for the CAA title, and top-notch players like Charles Jenkins and Chad Tomko on lesser teams, the CAA season should be one to remember.

CollegeHoops.net's Preseason Mid-Major All-America Team is led by one of the few underclassmen on the list, Butler's Gordon Hayward. Hayward is joined on the First Team by teammate Matt Howard. Boston U, Butler, Cornell, Gonzaga are the only teams with multiple players.

The pairings are set for the 2009 CAA Men's Basketball Championship, which will be held March 6-9 at the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Va.

Hempstead, NY (Feb. 23) - Sophomore guard Charles Jenkins (Queens, NY/Springfield Gardens) was named the Colonial Athletic Association Men's Basketball Player of the Week, it was announced today by the league office.

Jenkins earned the honor for the second time this season, after also being named CAA Player of the Week on Nov. 17 after the Pride's season-opening trip to the Charleston Classic. Jenkins earned the CAA Rookie of the Week Award four times last year, on the way to CAA Rookie of the Year honors.

This week's CollegeHoops.net High-Major Player of the Week is..

Brandon Ewing - Wyoming
2 Game Averages: 25.5 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 52% FG, 61.5% 3P

Ewing has been one of the top performers in the Mountain West Conference all season long and this week was a prime example of what he can do. The 22 points on Saturday at San Diego State were nice, but the Cowboys came up short in that contest. Wednesday night though was a surprise upset of UNLV with the senior dropping 29 points on 8-16 shooting, including 5-8 from beyond the arc.
