Manhattan favored in deep MAAC

[HawkStag]

Stags picked 6th?

Fairfield no longer has Rakim Sanders and Ryan Olander, but veteran point guard Derek Needham is back to keep Sydney Johnson's troops in the upper part of the league.

1-6 in the MAAC could all be 1st place teams. On paper this year is really really deep. Its going to come down to who can play as a team. Manhattan and Loyola certainly have that advantage. Iona, FU will struggle at times with inexperience. Siena will need to outperform in all categories to make some noise.
