Those 6 are ranked in the preseason as you see. Northeastern should be the favorite, everyone is back and they should have won last year. COC is going to be good, but probably not quite as good as last year. But, they will still have the significant homecourt tourney advantage against anyone but you guys. Hofstra is going to be good, the only question is will they miss Gustys inside? The Tribe is going to be good again and may be better than last season. There will be plenty of shooters again and Knight and Pierce will be even better than last season. We have a bunch of freshmen that may make a significant impact. For us, even though Cohn was great, the key will be will they defend? If the Tribe plays some defense, they should be good as anybody because they are going to score a lot again. It sounds like you guys are in the mix too. Either way, preseason, Northeastern is the favorite and COC is second choice. I'd be shocked if Delaware, Drexel, Elon or Towson finishes in the top 4. All those teams lost a lot from last season, more than any of the top 6 teams. As usual then, it will be critical to win games against those 4 teams to have a shot at finishing in the top half of the league. Consider me a big UNCW fan until after Christmas when league play starts. Good luck Seahawks. I really like your nonconference schedule. It should be a good year.
This is good. For me I have gotten to the point where I don't doubt William & Mary will be a good team. They're more of a well run system than anything, add a player like Knight to that mix and they could be dangerous. Shaver has recruited great guards in the past, I would imagine he's got some more ready to go. Have 2/23 circled on my calendar, always enjoy making the trip up to Williamsburg.
Maybe some of us should come to Trask. Not only is it an electric environment, but it is always worth a chance to see Cacok and Knight match up. Hope all you Seahawks are doing well. Was very worried during Florence and hope everybody is ok down there. Hope lots of money is raised for relief this season. Very proud of both you guys and Coach Brownell for the game and hope it is a major success.
