FWIW, College Sports Madness came out with previews on teams in its Top 144. Vermont came in at #106 and is the predicted AE representative in the NCAA Tournament, while Hartford was ranked #134.

I'm not a big CSM guy – my impression is it's just a bunch of kids making peanuts, if anything, to add a line on their resumes and some clips to their portfolio. There's not a lot of meat to these. But nevertheless, it whets the appetite for college hoops talk a bit.

  Our team is young and we are adding 5 new faces  that weren't here last year. So if Boals  can get them organized and playing  on the same page we could be very good going down the stretch in February . This is probably the biggest team we ever had for sure.  Next season  we could be very good off eh boards and shooting .

I'm fine with everyone sleeping on Stony Brook this year.

Call me an optimist, but I see a very young team that's a year older than last year's, except with high-level recruits that fill in the gaps from what we were missing. I see two bonafide America East stars in Yeboah and Olaniyi, and two recruits in Latimer and Otchere that can get there. I see a deep bench with interchangeable parts. I see a coach that I'd pick over anyone in the league (maybe outside of Will Brown). And I see an expectation of winning that was set by previous Seawolves teams that has been passed down into the lifeblood of this younger group.

So go ahead with all the Vermont and Hartford love. They deserve it too.

We'll just be sitting here in the bushes, waiting for our turn to strike.

I expect us in the Top3 of the AE  even with the newbies.   Two  good but not overwhelming games in George Washington and South Carolina to open with . We could get a split right off the bat in November.

i agree with you guys and ill repeat- with our depth, we should maybe leverage that a bit, especially against the teams that only play 7-8 with significant minutes.  if we cant shoot threes, or hit FTs, or stay out of foul trouble, maybe we can run teams into the ground. (rebounding i'm expecting we have an advantage)

Looking back now that it's all over:

SBU beat Quinnipiac twice which beat Niagara which beat Pittsburgh which beat Florida State which beat Virginia (and, yes, I had about 5 mins of free time to figure that out), so I guess, yeah, I can see the potential chain of success for SBU going forward!

Here's hoping Coach Ford is hard at work to shorten that chain for really big things in the future.
