MTS' MAAC predictions

[MTS]

Just thought I'd throw it out here to my Iona friends..as you can see I expect your Gaels to be very very good!


1. Iona 15-3 - Momo, Glover and Machado are 3 of the best 6 players in the league
2. Fairfield 14-4 - Sanders/Wade/Needham lead the way
3. Rider 11-7 - Gadson and a key transfer should lead
4. Loyola 11-7- Patsos has a very talented squad
5. Niagara 10-8 - Young team took lumps last year
6. Siena 10-8 - It's now or never for Mitch
7. Manhattan 7-11 - Good pieces to build around
8. St. Peter's 6-12 - Rebuilding year for John Dunne
9. Canisius 4-14 - Gabby Belardo and pray for rain
10. Marist 2-16 - Foxes struggle badly again

Thanks, MTS. I might raise SPC's wins simply because of Dunne and lower Siena's because of injuries. The top two are a crap shoot. As strong as they are there are still questions.

Don't want to hear the injury excuses because everyone has them and it's a part of the game. Brookins/Hymes/Burdine should all be back in short order. Gomis/Silas/Martens are out for the year that is true.

Back to back PIG trips won't fly at Siena ever. A change will be made if that occurs IMHO.

Good job, MTS.

It won't be long until your Saints return to the top tier, but I'm afraid Mitch won't be the guy getting them there.

Siena will finish 4th.

If they finish 4th, Mitch should be COY.

Guy, is Siena, this year's Niagara?

Just have a feeling the doomy outlook of Siena fans re Mitch and the program is vastly overrated, much like Mitch just stepping in and keeping the Saints on top was a vastly overrated outlook from that contingent a year ago. They're just not that bad. That said, if Brookins' back keeps him in and out of the lineup, yeah, they may slip to 2nd division.

I also think Patsos and Loyola are grossly overrated.
