BASKETBALL TIMES: CAN'T SPELL NCAA'S WITHOUT CAA - EPJr - 06-13-2011 07:55 PM Subscribe to Basketball Times by visiting http://www.basketballtimes.com By reaching the Final Four just five years apart, George Mason and VCU placed some mighty impressive dots on the basketball map. And what about the line that is the Colonial Athletic Association that connects them? Much less has been said about a conference that has placed more teams in the past half-dozen Final Fours than the Mountain West, Atlantic 10 and Conference USA combined (a feat equaled by the Horizon League, though by a single team from Butler). Much more deserves to be said about the Virginia-centric league that also has sent more teams to the Final Four over those six seasons than a Big 12 Conference that produced Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Michael Beasley over that same period, but just one Final Four team (albeit a national-champion Kansas in 2008). http://www.caasports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8500&ATCLID=205158794
