Will be attending Hofstra away game with a couple buddies. Last time they played at Hofstra I remember seeing a few Iona fans at the Green Turtle. Would like to meet up with some of you guys there before that game if possible. Speaking of this, anyone know if Iona still sells tickets for an Iona section at Away games? Yes, particularly if you're a season ticket holder. But certainly worth reaching out to ticket office even if not. |

Might as well post here. For those in the mood for MAAC hoops, it appears Siena's exhibition game vs Hobart will be on ESPN+ tomorrow at 2PM.

JMO, but I would think it's a nice change of pace to play offense and defense against different players after going against your own team for a long time. Hoping to see some of it. P.S. sigael, a few words of caution. Super and the Thread Police are on the prowl, and might want this moved to the secret scrimmage thread.  |

Siena's getting nothing out of this, Hobart is tiny and unathletic. I'm glad we're scrimmaging Lehigh tomorrow vs playing a bunch of hobbits just to appease fans. |

Guy, you make it into an either or case. We can do both. Two scrimmages AND an exhibition.

Yeah, but I think that 3rd game has to be a charity game vs another D1 and approved by the NCAA. |

That's fine with me, but it's a moot point since we're not doing it.

FWIW, UMASS played Providence tough in a charity exhibition game.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but..
All 1 bid leagues should be doing something very similar to this. NO EXCUSES for the reg season champ to have to win more than 2 games in a conf tournament!
Especially now that postseason is not guaranteed for reg season winner, make it mean SOMETHING!
