lets not argue this stupid bs about being in different conferences...put some maac teams in the big east and see how many games they win...if one of those teams isnt sienna then dont expect more than 2 or 3...we're a big east team...if we are gonna leave the big east for a mid major we might as well disband the team, bc at that point the level of caring would be so low no one would care
My point was that we are a Big East team and that alone should propel us a bit or give us the benefit of the doubt. If you throw in those teams into the Big East they wouldn't survive.
Play nice boys!
Anyways I think I might have posted this already but if not this article is based upon the last 5 years. So we are 2-2 or 3-2 in that time frame against them(too lazy to look it up). So the author of this article Shawn Siegel(founder of CHN) said this is based upon that and his own subjectiveness. So one could argue for Niagara as one could argue for St. John's. Niagara has made the NCAA tourney even though they got smacked by Kansas while St. John's has been bottom feeding in the Big East. One could argue if you put St. John's into the MAAC and Niagara into the Big East they might have flip flopped identical results. Its a close call but no way no how can you put Hofstra and Manhattan over St. John's in this in my opinion.
What would make any of us think that we could handle the MAAC?
Last year, it took the only made 3 point attempt ever by Tomas Jasuloines to hold off their worst team. Marist.
Now the Northeast conference is a different story. We're made for the conference.
Although not sure if we could beat Binghamton this year.
Poison I think you are getting pretty defensive and really aren't helping your case with exaggerations. Marist was in the middle of the MAAC last year with 18 wins. I get it maybe you think its pointless debating that we're better than teams like Hofstra, Manhattan, Niagara, Siena when we should be head and shoulders better and we haven't been. Its frustrating for sure but facts are facts and we're just discussing things. Newsman said it before we've seen better days but we're stuck talking about recent history. I think we've been better than we're getting credit for here but then again its not much better nor something to be proud about.
Also side note I like Binghamton a lot next season they are going to be a pretty good sleeper team. They've done a good job at getting some talent in there and they are getting a brand new arena.
