Not bad--( too many low conference teams) I'd ditch Stony Brook and go with Hofstra .. forget loyola too weak same with American- give me George Mason and or George Washington, maybe occasionally Delaware or Towsen - maybe Drexel or Northeastern . Lets play a mid major schedule or move down to NEC

Lets play a mid major schedule or move down to NEC Forgot that George Washington was down there. Switch that game out for the Loyola one. But its not too bad, 3 AE's games that Siena will probably go 2-1 against most years. 2 A-10 teams that they'd split against, up to 3-2 Harvard and the DMV team would be a split most years. Up to 4-3. Guarantee game would be a loss to go to 4-4, about how you want to do against the non-conference schedule, and you'll hit all the major recruiting markets that Siena should be in.

Isn't it about time for UConn to be placed back on probation again? Or maybe time for the NCAA death penalty for them. Only team I'd rather see get the death penalty than UConn is Syracuse. Providence, Boston College, Harvard, Northeastern and Rhode Island would all be welcome opponents from New England (and we already play Vermont regularly). Maybe UMass, but their program seems a bit sketchy, too. UMass is another game I'd like to see. If it was up to me that non-conference schedule would be. Vermont- Good AE team that is almost always a contender Albany- Local opponent, perennial NCAA time Stony Brook- another AE team that is usually a contender. Easy drive for LI alums UMass- Short drive, winable A-10 opponent Harvard- not a terrible ride out. Good team. Gets us in the New England market St joes/LaSalle- Winnable A-10 game, gets us in front of Philly kids American/Loyola- gets us in DMV, should be able to beat most years Tournament Guarantee game- gets us money and a chance to see how we stack up against elite teams. I'm not a huge fan of the Fordham or Saint Bonnie's series. Dont see the gain from either of them and I know they have that silly Franciscan cup thing but SBU is driving hours to middle of nowhere for a down opponent. Bonnies DO have that tie to our school, and will be around. Anytime we can beat an A-10 team, it's a plus, and we've had good luck against them.

I know there is little respect for the Fordham games but they have a lot of alumni in the area and I think we have drawn pretty well for the games here due to that.

Yeah but we already go to Iona and Manhattan every year. So its not like we never get to be in NYC. And their RPI is usually terrible so there's not much gain from them.

Except for when they were good 2 years ago, facing them isn't really going to help our résumé at all. They aren't a big name. They're in the middle of nowhere. I dont really see the point of facing them other than that made up rivalry.

Pretty sure he meant there is a lot of Fordham alumni living in OUR AREA. and Jimmy is 2-0 vs St. Bonaventure, so why get rid of them? Any win over an A-10 team is a good one. Even Fordham and the Bonnies. The Franciscan connection is not a "made up" thing, it's an important core of the values of the schools.

There's plenty of schools that Siena could go 2-0 against. And tell me how often you wake up hating St Bonnie's basketball.

3 AE's games that Siena will probably go 2-1 against most years. - winning 2 out of 3 = 67% winning percentage - In the last 11 years you've played AE teams 19 times, you've lost 11 out of those 19 for a winning % of 42%

top 4 MAAC teams beat AE teams 80% to 90% of the time-- of course Siena hasn't been a top 4 MAAC team in awhile

How many NCAA wins all time for the UA "machine" ?? forget NCAA wins ( UA isn't close to one) UA has few non conference wins over teams with winning records, in fact not sure if UA has any non conf wins over team ranked in top 100-- if they do not many- in short typical low major program not sure why the UA clown is trying to talk smack when UA has done nothing,zero, zippo on national stage
