Using a similar methodology to how I figured out just how much Penn underperformed last season I went ahead and built predictor models for specific conferences using returning possession minutes (RPM) data. Continue reading “Too Early Projected MAAC and NEC Standings Using RPM”
This season was the first of Saint Peter’s next cycle. John Dunne and his staff added a large group of new players to the mix, which led to a double-digit win season for the first time since their NCAA tournament bid in 2011. Continue reading “Saint Peter’s Newcomers Built Future Foundation”

When the second-seeded Manhattan Jaspers decided to take control of their quarterfinal MAAC tournament game against St. Peter’s, they did so in emphatic fashion.
In a game that saw a lead no larger than five, the Jaspers distanced themselves by controlling the paint and cruised to a 72-58 victory in Saturday night’s third quarterfinal. Continue reading “Manhattan 72, St. Peter’s 58”
Today marks the start of the MAAC tournament, and we at Big Apple Buckets thought it would be worthwhile to take a closer look at each team in their quest to represent the MAAC in the NCAA Tournament. Each team makes the trip to Springfield with a different set of pros and cons, and dealing with different sets of highs and lows that go beyond simple numbers.

With four games left on the MAAC slate, the standings are starting to take shape. One glance at the conference standings, and you will see the teams have separated themselves into three distinct tiers:
At the top, Iona leads the pack two games clear of Manhattan, Quinnipiac, and Canisius, who remain deadlocked in a tie for second place. Iona looks to be in the driver’s seat for the regular season title while the other three have all but clinched a first round bye in the upcoming MAAC tournament.

Once again playing with a lineup lacking the firepower of guards Umar Shannon and Kasim Chandler, Quinnipiac used a pair of strong runs in the second half to capture a 74-64 victory over St. Peter’s Sunday afternoon and run its winning streak to five games.

St. Peter’s picked the best time to win two in a row in MAAC play in the most unusual way.
The Peacocks needed a Desi Washington buzzer beating three-pointer to defeat Fairfield to clinch a 56-55 victory; their first in conference play and denying the Stags their first conference win. The seven-point win clinched the school’s first MAAC win streak since the 2010-11 season. Continue reading “Young St. Peter’s Team Coming Together for Dunne”

Just three days after completing a sweep of two of the MAAC’s top teams in Iona and Manhattan, the Quinnipiac Bobcats (4-2) fell to the St. Peter’s Peacocks (2-4) 74-67 at the Yanitelli Center in Jersey City, NJ.
