Another good preview: cbbcentral.com/2018/10/17/32x32-2018-19-maac-preview/This one has Siena at 8, which is probably as high as anyone will pick us preseason. He notes that the bottom of the league is down (as we've said) and that one of the teams with a new coach (Marist, Siena, Saint Peter's) could sneak all the way up to this. a correction ... it was not due to some lack luster recruiting towards the end of Patsos era. It was due to lack luster recruiting for 3 years of Mitch and ALL FIVE YEARS of Patsos's era.

Was looking at a Lindy's at the store (wouldn't pay the $9)... our non-conference schedule looks pretty tough going by their projections. We're picked 11th in the MAAC not a surprise.
Both Charleston and Hofstra are picked top 4 in the CAA (Charleston picked to win league)
Harvard picked to win Ivy (and top 35 nationally)
Lehigh, Colgate picked 1/2 in the Patriot league - Holy Cross 5th
Stony Brook (possible opponent) 4th in AE
Norfolk State 3rd in their league
St. Bonnie 5th in A10, GW 13th
Providence 4th in Big East
Robert Morris, Cal-Poly not picked very high in their respective leagues.
Just one rags analysis ... if we can go 5-8 in these games leading into the MAAC season I'd sign for it right now in a rebuilding season.
FWIW - KenPom by our non-conference opponents -
Providence 49 Harvard 84 Charleston 99 St. Bonnie 103 Hofstra 156 Lehigh 187 George Washington 194 Colgate 205 Holy Cross 207 Stony Brook 224 Robert Morris 264 Norfolk State 296 Cal Poly 313
Average: 183

I'm sorry being so ignorant. I know that the team with the lower number is the best and so forth but what doesFWIW mean?
