Stagman - I believe you said you didn't get to many games because of location (I'm sure you would be at every game if your were in the area). It's been even harder to watch, hearing that we win all of these games, many on the road in the MAAC, and than watching them at home give, at best, mediocre performances. Take Canisius for example, Kudjo decided to show up and got 18, and had a big night. We held Dux to nothing - yet, we win by only 4???? I can't think of one home game where everything has clicked - NOT ONE. It would be scary what the results of this season would have been if we showed up to play on our homecourt. We have two quality wins this year, UNCW and Manhattan (road). I don't want to hear Yale, because they should 30% or so that day (had they made anything we would have lost).

We are lucky to be where we are, and yet, could be someplace much better. Pretty strange.

I am also disapointed on how we are ending the season, losing home games, and especially with losing 2 close games in a row. I hope that losing Close games is not a trend, but a few big plays defenively or offensively and we could be 17-8, in first place, and sitting in great position..... thats the frustrating part, we were so close.

I find it ironic that people say almost in the same post that we should be winning 19-20 games, but are also lucky that we have 15 wins..... can't have it both ways.

We are, what we are..... one of the top 5 teams in the MAAC, and probably a 17 win team. I do like our chances in the MAAC Tourney, as I think we have the depth and defense to carry us. And having a .500 record against the top teams in the MAAC (Manhattan, Iona, Niagara, Siena) gives me a lot of hope.

I'm the poster stating we could have had it both ways - and we could have. That's what makes it so ironic, if we played at all cylinders, we may have been a 20 win team (fundamentally better, 3 point shooting, etc). At the same time, if you look at wins like Yale, Canisius, and many road wins, it could have been much worse. Joe, it is hypothetical. I understand we are where we are - that should be pretty obvious. A 500 record against the top four teams in the MAAC, considering how we are playing lately, doesn't make us very dangerous at this point. We are a strange team, we could go out the first day we play or, if we get on a streak, could win it all. Not many teams can say that, in our league.

I really do think the top 5 MAAC Schools have had remarkable similar seasons. All have had losses against easy opponents and have had their ups and downs. Manhattan has been the most consistent, while Siena has been the most inconsistent but done well against the top 5. Here are the records of the Top 5 against the Top 5:

Manhattan 4-2
Siena 4-3
Fairfield 4-4
Iona 3-4
Niagara 3-5

Manhattan still has to play Siena and Iona. The closeness of the records of the top 5 will make for a great Tournament.
