Use this thread to make your official prediction, feel free to go game by game, or if you prefer overall regular season record. Here is your chance to show how "good" you are
I’ll go a conservative route – 6-3 in non-conference. With losses to Umass,we will split with Bona and Fordham and drop one other game maybe Radford. We should have turned the corner last year with AE teams- I expect to beat UA and Vermont. In the MAAC I’ll go with 14-6, which should put us top 3. Although we could go anywhere from 13-7 ( if we struggle to score) or as good as 15 or 16 MAAC wins- at any rate at least 20 wins heading into MAAC tournament with tournament on our home floor, we should have a very good chance of dancing in 2015

I also have it 6-3 and 14-6 for 20-9. Siena would be 2-4 at the start, if that happens it will be interesting to see the dynamics on here. In my mind if they start out better than that I would revise my predictions upward.

What the heck I was going to wait another week or so but here goes:
11/14 @ UMass (Saints play tough game but just come up short) L (0-1) 11/17 vs. Vermont (We're way past due to beat Vermont) W (1-1) 11/19 @ St. Bonaventure (Revenge for last year) L (1-2) 11/29 @ Loyola (Jimmy will be pumped for this) W (2-2) 12/1 @ Fordham (Saints win at Rose Hill) W (3-2) 12/5 vs. Quinnipiac (Best two teams in the league?) W (4-2, 1-0) 12/7 @ Rider (The team lays an egg on the road) L (4-3, 1-1) 12/13 vs. UAlbany (Time to show UA who is the king of the Capital District W (5-3) 12/19 @ Radford (A team better than most think. Trap game. L (5-4) 12/23 vs. Cornell (Won't come down to last second shot this year W (6-4) 12/28 vs. Bucknell (Saints grind out another win with Wright and Poole) W (7-4) 1/2 @ Fairfield (Long and Bisping eat the Stags up) W (8-4, 2-1) 1/4 vs. Iona (Gals 4 man team no match for Siena) W (9-4, 3-1) 1/8 vs. Niagara (Siena starts to rollin') W (10-4, 4-1) 1/11 vs. Fairfield (Another solid win) W (11-4, 5-1) 1/16 @ Canisius (Billy Baron ain't walking through that door) W (12-4, 6-1) 1/18 @ Niagara (Saints get rare Buffalo sweep) W (13-4, 7-1) 1/23 vs. Marist (Siena beats Foxes again) W (14-4, 8-1) 1/25 vs. St. Peter’s (10 straight wins) W (15-4, 9-1) 1/30 @ Manhattan (Jaspers bring streak to an end) L (15-5, 9-2) 2/2 vs. Rider (Split with the Broncs) W (16-5, 10-2) 2/6 @ Iona (Lavon Long's jumper at the horn sends the 100 Iona season ticket holder home stunned) W (17-5, 11-2) 2/9 @ St. Peter’s (John Dunne's team grinds out a win) L (17-6, 11-3) 2/12 @ Marist (Meltdown won't happen this year) W (18-6, 12-3) 2/14 vs. Monmouth (Saints protect the TUC home court) W (19-6, 13-3) 2/19 vs. Canisius (Saints sweep Griffs) W (20-6, 14-3) 2/21 vs. Manhattan (Siena edges Jaspers at TUC to clinch regular season title) W (21-6, 15-3) 2/27 @ Quinnipiac (Bobcats get split) L (21-7, 15-4) 3/1 @ Monmouth (Saints drop two straight) L (21-8, 15-5)
I see Siena in the 19-22 win range in the regular season - MAAC wins will be between 13-16. I would not be shocked if we started slowly and then got on a major run. I don't expect us to lose much at home. I have us at 14-0 in the regular season. That will be tough but I will be very disappointed if we are any less than 12-2.
I have us at 15-5 in the MAAC which should be good enough to win the regular season title. In the MAAC tournament anything can happen but I predict we win it and head into the NCAA tournament at 24-8. We will get a 14 seed despite an RPI of only 95 and though we fall short we play well and set the stage to be a top 40-50 team in 2015-16 :-)
20 days until tip-off at UMass!
Go Saints!!!!!

Udefeated at home. MAAC tournament champs and at least one NCAA win. Being overly optimistic I dont see many loses over the next 3 years.

19-10 + or - 2. There's always a game or two with a wacky ending.
Must wins. UA, you can't lose 4 out of 5 at home and bitch about this game being on the schedule.( Fans only.) Coaches and players want this game.
Iona, they are the best in the league by far.
Getting to maac finals.

Here you go.
Iona 17-3 Manhattan 15-5 Quinny 14-6 Siena 13-7 St.Peter's 13-7 Do you want the rest of them?
Siena will have to beat SPC and Iona to reach the finals. Very possible at home.

Hoping for 20 (or more) wins or KK's undefeated prediction, but realistically, we are still a young team with some speed, shooting and athleticism deficits in comparison to other teams in our league and on our schedule; it may also take awhile for chemistry to develop with 13 scholarship players who all have their strengths but also their "not so strengths". I am really concerned we may be setting some unrealistically high expectations based on our "rose (green?) colored glasses" and don't want us to get down on the players and coaches when we discover that hey, these other teams also have D1 athletes (some rated higher than our own) who can play the game. Regardless of record, let's stand behind the team as they develop and play an aggressive and hard nosed style of ball. Prediction below, 18 wins. Go Saints! 11/14/14 at Massachusetts Amherst, Mass. L 11/17/14 vs. Vermont Albany, N.Y. W 11/19/14 at St. Bonaventure Olean, N.Y. L 11/29/14 at Loyola (Md.) Baltimore, Md. W 12/01/14 at Fordham Bronx, N.Y. L 12/05/14 vs. Quinnipiac * Albany, N.Y.
