Schedule '13/'14

[Patch]

People on the Siena board making like it might not be true.

 

It's amazing how they have ignored so many other mistakes(????) by members of there basketball team over the past several years.

 

It's time their administration takes heed to what type of kids they are bringing in!

The A-10 is close to adding Davidson to the league, likely in 2014-15, sources told CBSSports.com. The move is pending approval from the school's board of trustees.

 

...

 

Sources told CBSSports.com that Siena is also under consideration by McGlade to join the A-10.

Davidson would put them at 14...Looks like in this round Siena got passed by. Probably just extends the time frame now until more programs bolt the A-10000

Any word on the schedule next year? Money games? Is it completed?

4 Non-con home games?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Plus Siena?

 

I am excited about the HC matchup-- will definitely attend.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Does this include any tournaments or do those come later?

[Clickclack]

Very strong schedule...yikes...

[Dane96]

I'd be VERY happy at 9-4...suspect 8-5 or 7-6. Ecstatic with anything more than 9 wins.

 

I think we could go 10-6 in conference...but if all the cards play out right by conference play, 11-5 or 12-4 is definitely doable.

 

IF these kids buy in....this is a 20-win team. But it may be rocky in the early-going as players transition to D-1...and a leader really emerges (Hooley/Rowley would be my guesses).

[UA_MA_2000]

10-6 is my guess too. We lose 2 games to UVM, 2 games to Stony Brook, 1 game to Hartford, and we lose 1 more game to a team on the road that we should have beaten. 9-7 would not be a shock either with a young back court.

 

12-4 would shock me and would require SB or UVM to fall victim to key injuries. I could see 11-5 if we steal one from UVM or SB.

 

Coaches will probably vote us 4th in the preseason poll, but we might pass Hartford and get 3rd.

At least classes (or finals) are in session for all the home games except Yale (day after finals end).

 

One ACC, one Mo. Valley, three Patriots, two Ivy, two MAAC, one NEC, one bad A-10, and two NJIT.
