No Peacocks tonight so I guess we pulling for Iona, Rider, & Marist. Although a Marist loss helps too and probably better scenario as FF most likely won’t lose again.

I watched mostly Manhattan v Siena, Q v Iona and Marist.
Manhattan didn't have McClain tonight. The Clayton kid (8th season 26 years old), didn't impress me. SP defense should wear him out.
Of the teams I dont want to play in MAACT is Marist. Coach Dunne has his team playing well at the right time. Allen, when healthy, is a beast inside.
Iona really misses Gordon. Setting the press plus driving to the bucket.
All in all, I like the Peacocks chances. Go Peacocks!

Latigo agree that Marist is not a good matchup for us. We really need to get Hogue back. Tonight helped us with a higher ceiling but lower floor regarding seeding. Need to take care of our games and let the chips fall.

Youngalum. Agree. Looking at the top 5 teams, SP has the tougher schedule. Get Hogue back with Reid, Washington and the way Randolph playing, I like our chances.

Of all the teams, Rider concerns me most. They are playing pretty well and James is finally playing like the Preseason POY.

Just doing basic math with whom I perceive to be the favorite in the games remaining and if ALL favorites win (keep in mind ALL games should be 1-4 point favorites so a coin flip).
Q should be favored in 2 games 14-6. *SP probably 1 or 2 point favorite
FF 14-6
Marist 13-7
SP 13-7 * Manhattan game SP favored. Rider favored by 2 or 3. Q at SP, Peacocks should be a point or 2 favorite.
Niagara 12-8
Rider 11-9
Basically, it starts with Manhattan. Cannot have a let down against them.
As you can see there is alot of variance and in the MAAC anything can happen. I do know this, win out and it's 14-6.
My guess, the above standings WILL NOT happen. Go Peacocks!

I'm gonna correct FF. MSM (with Leffew) probably 2 point favorite. So FF 13-7.

Obviously I’d prefer we finish 1,2, or3…winning out should accomplish that. Big game is at Rider Thursday. If we drop that we’d have to beat Quinny last game of the year to possibly avoid the PIG.

Mathematically SP range is 1-PIG. Realistically, 3-5. Rider ends their schedule v SP and gets an extra 2 days rest.

Objectives for the next week:
1. Hoping against hope Houge can play and be effective in AC.
2. Avoid PIG.
