For all of the steps forward Siena took in year one, it appeared that the group that went 20-18 last season faced hard prospects in grabbing a top five seed in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference by the month of December. Continue reading “Siena Building For Run In MAAC Play”
Reaching over .500 for the first time this season at 11-10 with an impressive 87-76 victory at Monmouth, you would think that Steve Masiello’s Manhattan Jaspers have started to click. Continue reading “Manhattan Over .500, But Steve Masiello Strives For More”
The Colonial can be a difficult league to cover for a site with a limited budget like ours (feel free to donate if you can) just due to its sheer geography, getting to Elon, Charleston and NC-Wilmington (sorry, UNCW) just isn’t practical. But we do our best, we’ve had as much Northeastern and Hofstra coverage as anyone, and Saturday I had the opportunity to go to the Daskalakis Athletic Center to see suddenly streaking Drexel take care of UNCW, 85-76.
We like to get very technical here, but the rise of the Dragons (7-14, 5-5) doesn’t seem to need its own CSI series. For most of the season, Drexel just couldn’t score and more specifically, couldn’t shoot in what turned out to be an embarrassing non-conference slate that included a loss to Division II Philly rival University of the Sciences.

Albany, whose 9-0 start in conference is no fluke, has won 12 of their last 13 games, their only loss being a game at Niagara where head coach Will Brown said his team’s flu symptoms helped create the Great Danes’ worst performance to date.
What Happened Last Week: Yale swept Columbia and Cornell on the road, improving to 4-0. Harvard recovered from last week’s upset with wins at Princeton and Penn, keeping pace at 3-1. Princeton is in the mix at 2-1, as are Cornell and Columbia at 2-2, but the Ivy League still looks like a two-team race. Continue reading “Ivy League Weekly Roundup: Feb. 2”
We are one month away from the end of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular season, so as Siena head coach Jimmy Patsos says, ‘get your all MAAC passes.’ After a hard fought, literally at times, weekend of conference play, Iona leads the league by a game, with Rider a game behind. Continue reading “MAAC Stock Watch: Feb. 2”
Manhattan coach Steve Masiello never hides the fact that he’s a Rick Pitino disciple through and through. He played for Pitino at Kentucky, assisted with him at Louisville, and now much of the success he’s had in Riverdale is employing the same style of coming after opponents with pressure and traps and anything else to make it difficult to traverse the 94 feet from one hoop to the other without coughing it up.
