Subject: listen to STAGAL, he has all the answers

it would certainly be great for more than just 1 MAAC team to get a post season invitation (NIT of course), but it might be hard for Stags, Siena & also Iona to garner a few slots even with the expanded field, as most of the bigger named schools tend to gobble up those spots even with mediocre records..........so as always the focus is on getting to the Big Dance invite and then see what happens after that.

As for Stagal, he seems to have mapped out all the possibilities..............but I am sure he is also looking ahead to the future of FF, specifically with the loss of Ajou, Garcia & Delfico, leaves some holes for TOT to fill..........while Stags have some good solid frosh along with Gai, they have zero inside game to speak of and quality physical players are hard to come by at the mid-major level (Siena was fortunate enough to get Haddix early).........as well as Coach Saintly points out, your need for a go to guy/type scorer to take over games at crunch time has yet to emerge, nice to have balance but every successful team has that one player who has the ability to get it done when the game is in the balance. TOT should also harnass that wacky substitution pattern, it really disrupts the flow for FF.........is he trying to be like Hewitt when at Siena? Only problem there is Hewitt made multiple player subs because he exuded full court pressure/fast break basketball for 40 full minutes and guys needed a blow to stay effective.......rather than TOT just running players in and out for no apparent reason or strategy!!!!!!!


Just another outsiders view, but Stags are still very capable of winning in March, like a bunch of other teams, amid their short comings (heck every MAAC contender has them as well).......perhaps it's what makes this league fun for the fans, as the days of dominance ala LaSalle are long gone, but the push for the overall competitiveness is at least very trendy and of course needed for the league to survive!!!!!!!
