Can those on the Board with some better program awareness than I have tell me if I'm off base here?  Please check out the following, which looks like it has a fairly complete listing/details of preseason tournaments and participants.  The Seawolves are nowhere to be found!!

In my cursory review I have found Rider, Robert Morris, Boston U., UMBC, Albany, Bryant, NJIT, Hofstra, Siena, Vermont, Columbia, Fairfield (all programs that usually circulate in the same neighborhoods as does SBU) all have gigs in pre-season tournaments.  But, alas, no SBU.  Should I assume that the travel budget has been totally blown by the European trip, or is there likely a more complex explanation?  In any event, I find it disturbing that in a season with such high expectations that the team will not apparently experience the tournament excitement and competition against highly rated teams in storied arenas as they have in past seasons.  I think it could negatively impact their preparedness.
