Three of last four on the road including Buffalo trip. Yeah, team better pile up the wins early, which is possible with the way the schedule is set up. Tough end to the season. Of course we also know that Cluess always has the team playing well that time of year At Siena Rider At Canisius At Niagara QPAC At SPU

I like the late Buffalo trip.

I like the late Buffalo trip. Definitely. Backload the toughest games to when the team traditionally is playing the best.

Surprised nobody has mentioned that we're playing at Manhattan on Super Bowl Sunday. Seems like a wasted date IMO. Why put the marquee MAAC game (Iona at Manhattan) on Super Bowl Sunday?

The two Manhattan games this year were scheduled on Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine's Day. WTF is the MAAC thinking?

Agreed. The one MAAC reg season game that gets anything close to resembling publicity is Iona-Manhattan. Why waste this on Super Bowl Sunday? It will disappear and never receive any buzz whatsoever.

I have been as much a critic as anyone about the move from Monday, and I think the move was a huge mistake, but I will say I am pleasantly surprised that the game is on ESPNU and the semis both on ESPN news. That being said this is still a very bad decision. At least 4PM on a Saturday will allow anyone who wants to travel to the championship, to do so without having to miss work, this could result in better attendance than Albany, if the teams are anyone other than Siena.
