ACC, SEC, Big East and two A-10s Very impressive A few wins vs these teams could put them in contention for an at large if they do not win the PL nice to get a home game vs Richmond no real cup cakes

Siena also should be very good. I like the at-large thought, but Bucknell this year won't be nearly good enough to do that. btw, LaSalle is expected to play at Sojka next year.

Lunardi has Princeton as a 12 seed, so that may barely make them top 50, but top 30 is a real stretch if Harvard's freshmen perform to projections, Princeton may not even win their league. Yale also will be there. Siena will probably be behind both Iona and Monmouth your schedule is impressive enough without these overstatements.

Yale also will be there. Siena will probably be behind both Iona and Monmouth your schedule is impressive enough without these overstatements. Not sure they are overstatements. I expect Princeton to win the Ivy, possibly easily, given that they return every single player from a 12-2 team. No reason they can't be better than Yale was last year. Harvard will be talented but I think they are a year away. Many of the people who follow the MAAC closely expect Siena to finish ahead of Iona - even many Iona fans. Siena was 3rd last year and returns all of their top five players (based on minutes played and ppg) plus several key subs. Iona was 2nd last year but four of their top five players (plus Proctor) are gone. They will add Severe and a couple of other players, but it's unclear how much that will help.

Even if Siena finishes ahead of Iona, there still is Monmoith Lunardi and others who follow the Maac more closely favor Monmoith to win it. Lunardi has them as a 12 seed, pretty high for the Maac
