Believe it or not. I just saw this on Cavaliers website DIII News has Cabrini ranked 5th Preseason. 
Here is the site: http://www.cabriniathletics.com/documents/2012/10/12/D3N2012FactSheet.pdf?id=322

Aaaah! Opening Day. First day of practice! The new season brings such optimism for all the teams. Good luck to the members of the CSAC! Btw and just a little bit more to the Cavs

Another week to wait for the Centennial Conference.

What's that all about anyway?

The presidents of the conference feel that there needs to be more emphasis on academics.  It doesn't make much sense since the players are playing together anyways-just without the coach.

Yes the people who always feel they are smarter than everyone else in the room!!!

Hoping for a new exciting season of hoops, thx to Cabrini for raising the bar.

Cavs are ranked 10th. Interesting. They were 10th last year in the preseason and went to the final. I don't know. What players are back?  Who is new to the team? We will see. Coach C any ideas?

Probably a bit too high is my opinion... I know I had them off my ballot (though I had 41 teams I was trying to fit into 25 slots)... they lost their top two guys from last year's squad.

That's why I'm a little unsure. But then again I was unsure last year where they were ranked. It wasn't until I saw them play when I started to believe. But when you lose an All American like Cory Lemons, who did they bring in to make the voters believe they could be ranked that high? 

[Pat Coleman]

Fair number of voters are willing to give a Final Four team, especially the champion and runner-up, a little extra benefit of the doubt. For me, losing Lemons and Walton-Moss put Cabrini down in the high teens on my ballot.

Where did Moss end up going?

[Pat Coleman]

Not sure he's playing anywhere -- I don't believe he would be eligible, at least not at an NCAA institution.

Lets remember John Boyd is gone as well , a clutch player in the playoffs.
