Never easy to sweep in Buffalo no matter how good we are or how bad the conference is. Don't believe we've ever swept the Buffalo trip in consecutive years although not 100% sure.
Here's the Purps profile:
Record: 3-12 Conf Record: 2-4 RPI: 285 Quality Wins: Albany (?)

I like the way the bench contributes lately and look forward to the Niagara and Canisius games. These games always represent a good test for Iona and hopefully we get consistent effort from the whole team to setup a strong finish to MAAC play. Waiting for Casimir to get hot once again. Very happy the way the team is improving with contributions from all.

05, I would argue that their win over Manhattan was a better win, than the Albany game. If the Jaspers had not been upset, they would be tied with us in first. I guess you can make the argument that if Manhattan finishes a game behind us, is was a big loss, rather than a big win for Niagara.

Although in reality don't think either Manhattan or Albany would be considered "good" wins. I should've changed the wording to "not losses". :-)

I noticed the game is on ESPN3. I cannot watch live as my son has a hoop game.
Does anyone know how long ESPN3 keeps the replays available for viewing. I may be able to watch the following morning.
TIA

Next 3 games will make our season. After Rider next Thursday all of our games up until Draddy are either at home or against teams we should easily beat on the road.
If we go 3-0 we should have enough distance between us and 2nd place to have the conference in our pocket (all but mathematically locked up) by the Draddy game.
If we go 2-1 we should remain the odds on favorite but will still have a bit of work to do to take home the conference.
1-2 and we'll probably find ourselves in a tie or perhaps a game out come Draddy.
0-3 and the sky is falling.

We have 'converted' one of our practice players to walk-on status, as Benjamin Nwokebia is now on our official roster. He's a 6'5, 165 lb. freshman. He's from Switzerland, and went to HS in Florida. Probably the ONLY MAAC player from Switzerland, but he's not neutral when it comes to college BB. Hopefully.

chelsea, Bejamin won't be pushed around in practice, if he's matched up with Much, who is 6'5, 170. As you can see there is not MUCH difference. (SF)
