2013-2014 Schedule

I am tired of the locals. 4 as early season tune ups enough for me.

Play Manhattan, Iona, LIU Brooklyn, and then alternate in a St Francis Wagner Fordham Hoftsra Stony Brook Monmouth NJIT FDU Etc 

We won't play Iona. It's because we are scared of them.

I personally don't see the value in it to be honest, they have a low RPI and if we win does little for us and if we lose it's a bad loss both locally and nationally.

They however are an NCAA team 2 years in a row and should be played

Locals sell tickets. The if we win we get nothing, if we lose it's shameful argument applies to every bad team. Not just the small ones. We are ducking Iona, and we have been because we have the right to.

There aren't many small program who have beaten us that we aren't scared of. We stopped playing Iona after they waxed the Felipe Lopez/Zendon Hamilton squad 18 years ago. We stopped playing Niagara after they beat us at Carnesecca Arena during Norm's 4th season. It's our style. We take our ball and we go home.

Maybe ST Johns will show some sack now that all 3, Machado, Glover and Momo are gone. Although Laury would dominate. Beating up on Marist and St Francis doesn't help anything

To add, I would be shocked if a home and home wasn;t scheduled with UCONN

You think we'd play them at the Garden or on campus? I'm assuming Garden, but would love to see it on campus.

Don't count on it. The only way they'd entertain it is if Iona loses their coach, and SJ's, by some miracle returns everyone, Harrison included and adds Sanchez. But we all know that St.John's will somehow, some way F that up royally, because we are.

Iona would trounce us this year?  Come on. They might be the only team right now we could score 80 against. Freaking Rutgers did.  Nothing to be gained playing them. Low RPI. If you lose, you get killed. If you win, you were supposed to. Would rather play good mid majors from other conferences, a la Detroit or Florida Gulf Coast.

If Iona went out and scheduled better, boosting their RPI, then that is a different situation.

They try. No one will play them, including St Johns. Think Georgia,Maryland or Wake Forrest will ever schedule Iona again?

IMO, Detroit, FGCU, and Iona. Same thing year to year, but Iona has bragging rights. We lost Detroit last year, but to many, it didn't matter bec they are a midwest mid major. 

I hear you Baldi. But why not play other really good mid majors, or road games against power conference schools, or enter some preseason tourneys.

You can play other mid majors and Iona, Hofstra and Manhattan. There is no sense in playing Fordham every year. THAT is a waste of time.

If I remember correctly they said that San Francisco will be coming to Carnesseca next season.

Yes

I want either high profile tough games, or absolute cupcakes. 
No UNCA, no Iona, no st Bonnie.     Enough of these mid majors.


Syracuse or Columbia.   No in between games.

Why is that?

Risk/reward.  No good comes from beating a mid- major, but a loss to them is costly.  I don't necessarily agree but I understand. 

I prefer a competitive schedule.  A couple of cupcakes at the front end of your schedule to get your team in sync but then I like playing good teams.  I hate teams like Cinci that load up on easy wins just to try to build a record for the NCAA committee.

Your SOS and RPI are affected.  Worse the team lower the numbers.

There is no risk or reward in playing Syracuse. They always kill us. And the logic of a true cup cake is flawed. We have lost to those too.

We are their mid-major.
