Stony Brook went through my mind im gonna give them a chance actually

Santa Clara is a quality program IMO nothing special but quality talent

Belmont has the POTENTIAL to get a HUGE RPI BOOST if they manage to pull off the upsets against DUKE or MEMPHIS if they can steal one of those wins all eyes will be on BELMONT again this year

Check out Oral Roberts as well. They've got everyone back from last season and should be the favorite in the Summit League. I think I'd include them somewhere in the 20-25 range.

Will do man I usually just forget about the Summit. I remember I had a glorious year though when North Dakota State went nuts that was a great site to witness!

Check out Florida Atlantic from the sun belt as well they should be on your top 25

Fairfield is positioned for big things in the MAAC this year. New coach (Johnson from Princeton) is a stud. They have Needham who has been the best point guard in the year for arguably 2 straight years, and have a transfer coming in from Boston College who averaged I believe around 16 points in the ACC. Small forwards can dominate this league and I believe he will be huge for them. They can easily run the table in the MAAC and be poised for a Siena type season when they pulled some upsets in the big dance.

Fairfield will be good with Needham but I have more faith in IONA this year

Who's the transfer from BC???
