If winning a game in the NCAA tournament counts as a league memory then we should be 1 and 2 on the list.

1-4 should be the four MAAC round of 64 wins (all Siena and Manhattan to date)...how you'd ranking them I don't know. Of course as a biased Siena fan I'd put the win over Ohio State #1. Siena was a nine seed and won the game in the state of Ohio in ultra dramatic fashion. Siena dominated Vanderbilt (I believe the second biggest margin of victory for a 13 over a 4 in NCAA history at that time) Manhattan crushed Florida back in 2004 and beat Oklahoma in 1995.
Had Siena hung on against Louisville or Manhattan against Wake Forest no question that would have been #1.

#1 should be Siena agreeing to join the Maac, because without that the league has about two memories.

There was life in the MAAC universe before Siena.

Thompson getting drafted has to rank pretty highly Lionel Simmons was drafted higher..... True, had a better career too. There's a huge recency bias in this list though. Just look at how many of the top 35 are from the past three years. 9 of these are from 2013 or later, and we haven't even gotten to the top 15 yet.

Siena's thrashing of Vandy was more impressive then the OSU win IMO. siena earned a 9 seed and was expected to be "in" the game, regardless of where it was played. The Vandy game everyone had siena getting throttled.
I hope someone getting drafted isn't a Top Moment. That isn't really a MAAC thing, more of an individual player thing. Rider did nothing with their 1st round pick, so as great as he was, what impact did he have to change or define the MAAC?

AJ English scoring 46 points, Justin Robinson winning an exempt event MVP, etc. Someone getting drafted is a much bigger deal for the MAAC than any of those. Good exposure for the league, and a good recruiting tool for every school.

That would be like Kenny hasbrouck # being raised being a top basketball moment (on a smaller scale). It is a great accomplishment but not a basketball moment.

I do expect they will include it though
