But we are 4 and 6 (.400) vs the top of 6 of the MAAC and our 2 home loses have been to the 1st and 2nd place teams. If we have to face Man Iona & Mon that's a tough task, I'm hoping for the best. Home court is big help. Keep in mind that Siena lost by 5 in triple overtime at Manhattan without MW (only third game without him), lost twice to Monmouth without MW (by 6 at home),while Monmouth had Sanders for both games, lost by 3 at Iona without MW and by 6 at home with MW. I'd say regular season results may not be indicative of the tournament. Your results may vary. Actually won by 3 at Iona. |

www.teamrankings.com/ncb/conference-tournaments/maac-bracket/This has Siena as the slight favorite over Monmouth. With Deon Jones I'd make Monmouth the favorite. Without him Monmouth comes back to the pack. Probably the co-favorites are Monmouth and Siena with Iona looming. My wildcard would be St. Peter's. I don't get the "love" for Manhattan. They are know where near the team that won the last two MAAC tournaments. Siena has beaten three top 100 teams at home (Hofstra, UA, St Bona) and beat Iona on the road. We are 12-2 at home with several dominating wins (14.3 margin of victory in 12 wins). But to go to the NCAA tournament we have to most likely beat the only two team who won this year at the TUC and beat Monmouth for the first time but now we have Wright back. But first up Marist/Manhattan without a win Saturday there is no Sunday or Monday obviously. But we are 4 and 6 (.400) vs the top of 6 of the MAAC and our 2 home loses have been to the 1st and 2nd place teams. If we have to face Man Iona & Mon that's a tough task, I'm hoping for the best. Home court is big help. We're not a dominant team but hopefully will be next year. We did what you had to be in the top 3 play around .500 against the top 5 and dominate the rest. |

You can spin it anyway you like but against the 3 teams we are likely to face we are 2 and 4 (.333) and have lost to 2 of the 3 teams at home. My only point is it's a tough task based on the seasons performance to win 3. With a healthy Wright pre injury I sure would have liked our chances a lot better. Still think Wrights left hand is an issue shooting and I don't think his timing is quite there yet .... Just my opinion based on facts and numbers no more, no less. Sure I would love to win all 3 but it ain't gonna be easy! |
