As Marquis goes, so goes the Saints. Real good win on the road and a great bounce back from Monday night. Great intensity tonight by the whole team.

Who wants to bet the Bonnies will not schedule us on November 19th again!! Two years in a row, same date, same outcome.

Lost in the win last night (and the first 2 losses) is that Marquis can't make a layup, especially a left handed one. Last night in the final minute he missed an easy left handed chippy. But I have noticed through the first 3 games that his layups are extremely high and hard off the glass.

Watching the highlights and seeing JO shooting outside the paint, just wow. I mean he could probably shoot some threes if he needed to. I think if we build some plays around his 15-18 foot shooting, he could be a huge threat all season (as long as he stays out of foul trouble). So what if he gets muscled out of the paint? He's going to shoot it anyways. Or he draws the double team and dishes it outside. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Obviously insanely early but for what it is worth, the win by Siena last night moved the MAAC up from a projected 18th ranked conference on rpiforecast to the projected 15th ranked conference. For any not familiar with rpiforecast, that is the one that ignores your current RPI and looks at your projected RPI at the end of the year based on your schedule and projected outcomes. Siena would need 23-6 to crack the top 50 in RPI but 19-10 should get them in the top 100.

Siena would need 23-6 to crack the top 50 in RPI but 19-10 should get them in the top 100. I had us at 1-2 after three games. In the prediction thread I had us at (21-8, 15-5) while that could still happen it might be a little ambitious unless we greatly improve on some things. I still expect to be close to 20 wins before the MAAC tournament (18-11/19-10) and have a strong chance to cut down the nets at the TUC. As far as the MAAC goes - right now it looks pretty wide open. It's obvious Iona isn't as good as they were last year (really not even close). Manhattan is pretty good but does not have strong guard play. Quinnipiac will be solid but don't know if the can win the league unless Gio McLean becomes eligible second semester. After that St. Peter's still can't score points. Canisius is looking better than projected but still not a contender. Monmouth, Marist and Niagara have only played one game. Rider should be decent. The rest of the OOC is very winnable - you could make the case that Siena played their three best OOC opponents already (not excusing the Vermont loss at all). Hopefully we can go 5-1, 4-2 minimum with the final six non-conference games (@ Loyola, @ Fordham, UAlbany, @ Radford, Cornell, Bucknell)

Radford is 0-2 and not playing well right now for all those interested..but it's vs. Richmond and JMU. That was the game I circled as an L. If the Saints win the next 2...they're back on schedule for my projection at least. Then the team can lose to Radford if they must with a clear conscience knowing that they've not let me down too much. I know it's important to them.

We're a better team when he's on the floor. Have to find a way to keep him out of foul trouble. While we do have options at backup PG in case of emergency and limited rest; we just seem to be better when he's leading us in the court.

They just won at Wake Forest.

They just won at Wake Forest. Iona is good never said they weren't. They will be tough to beat but I maintain they aren't as good as they were last year. Wake Forest is not very good. ACC in name only - watched the game it was no upset Iona was just better.
