St. Francis (Pa.) was the holdup? That's the only name I don't remember reading. Nice that it's complete. Pretty decent sked considering a coaching change. The Red Flash of Loretto, PA. It’s been a long while since we played them. |

Actually that game has been known, just not publicized. Pretty sure the holdup was settling on a date with Hofstra. Guy, known by you and known by me are not the same thing. Hahaha. I do remember Dave Magarity was once head coach in Loretto. |

I do remember Dave Magarity was once head coach in Loretto. 59 might remember the name Maurice Stokes. He was before my time but I had some friends that attended SF years ago and I always remember his name come up. Apparently, died at a very early age. |

Cjb, pretty sure we played against him. He was a great player and came down with a disease (forget the name) which caused his death at an early age. As an invalid he was cared for by Jack Twyman, who was a pro teammate of MO's. At SF, he played against some great teams, St. Bonaventure and Duquense(Sp?). Bob Lanier, the Stith brothers, and Shiugo Green were other stars of that era.

I don't want people saying that when it comes to picking games, I'm just as bad as Guy.  Games that I think we'll be underdogs: Charleston, Colorado, St. Joe's and Hofstra (might be a pickem). And I expect we'll win one of them. (1-3). Games we'll be favorite: SH, and SF. Should win both (2-0) Too close to call, Harvard and Colgate (1-1) Florida Tourney (2-1). We usually do well in Florida tourneys. And using my calculator, that makes us 6-5. And that should be enough to make me happy. |

I'll say 7-4 and 14-6, so 24-10 15 seed😁
As long as we improve as the season goes on I'll be good

I can see us teetering between 5-6 and 6-5 depending how a few games fall. Can easily see 4 or 5 of these games go either way. Trying to anticipate some growing pains and establishing roles. With that being said, I think 14-6 in the MAAC is doable, maybe even better if we find our groove like I think we will.
Charleston - L (0-1)
Sacred Heart - W (1-1)
High Point - W (2-1)
Long Beach St (My Guess) - L (2-2)
Hofstra (My Guess) - L (2-3)
Colorado - L (2-4)
Hofstra Rematch at Hynes - W (3-4)
St. Francis - W (4-4)
St. Joe's - L (4-5)
Colgate - L (4-6)
Harvard - W (5-6)
This should get us firmly out of 16 seed conversations (even though Tobin can clearly win as a 16!)

11-0! I'm always optimistic when it comes to Iona. We never lost a game we didn't play.
