Holy Family has been voted 11th in the 2025-26 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Men's Basketball Preseason Coaches Poll, which was released by the league offices on Tuesday. 
 
The Tigers return six student-athletes from last year's squad, while welcoming 12 newcomers. 
 
New to CACC Basketball for the 2025-26 season is the removal of divisions, as the conference now features a double round-robin format for its 11 teams. The top eight teams in the regular season standings qualify for the 2026 CACC Tournament, which begins with the quarterfinal round hosted at higher seeds on March 3. 
 
The semifinals and championship are then slated to be held at Caldwell on March 7-8. 
 
Defending regular season champion and 2025 NCAA Tournament participant Dominican, who received five of a possible 10 first-place votes, was the preseason favorite ahead of Jefferson. 
 
The Chargers were one of five teams to receive a top vote, with third place Post garnering one. Defending CACC Tournament champion Bridgeport and Caldwell each earned two as they came in fourth and fifth. The final first-place vote went to Wilmington, who was tied for sixth with Chestnut Hill. 
 
Rounding out the top eight was Felician, while Goldey-Beacom and Georgian Court occupied spots nine and 10 ahead of HFU.
 
Holy Family opens its 2025-26 campaign against Mercy on Nov. 14, in a game held at Jefferson. The Tigers begin CACC play on the road at Dominican on Nov. 25.
