Which MAAC Basketball Teams Will Have The Most Success After Conference Realignment?
The College Basketball Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network talks about the newest round of Conference Realignment. Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) and Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_) talk about the biggest Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference storylines. At the end of the episode Mac and Bieniek conduct a draft. They rank the MAAC basketball teams based on their likely success, or lack there of, over the next three years.
Merrimack and Sacred Heart are transitioning from the NEC to the MAAC in college basketball. Merrimack is experiencing their second change in conference during a six year span. After a 16-16 season Sacred Heart makes the jump in leagues as well.
Who got to make the first draft selection between Mac and Bieniek? Is Iona still the clear “head and shoulders above everybody else pick” in the MAAC? What did the guys value when selecting their programs? How many fun new coaches are in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference?
Which program of Niagara, Canisius, or Quinnipiac will have the best “Next Three Years?” Can Jim Christian lead the Golden Griffins to a successful stretch of seasons? Will Greg Paulus continue to ascend with the Purple Eagles like in recent seasons? Can Tom Pecora follow up a successful Year 1 with another good season?
