Saw a tweet from Josh Newman that the ALL-MAAC and ALL-ROOKIE teams will be announced around noon tomorrow. Thought they had a show on ESPN3 last year, announcing the teams? If announced tomorrow obviously, AJ and DL will be first team, as well as Casimir on ALL-ROOKIE team. Any chance IW or Casimir make one of the ALL-MAAC teams? IW was a lock before getting injured.
