Pretty nice praise for the MAAC ranking it 14 of 32 right behind the Colonial. It's a shame the write up doesn't include anything about Fairfield.

14. MAAC
This league should be a serious battle at the top. Loyola Md. (last season's NCAA rep) and Manhattan look like very strong bets to battle for top honors. The Greyhounds, in their final season before an interesting move to the Patriot League, have a ton back as do Steve Masiello's Jaspers. Don't count out Siena (returning basically the whole rotation, including O.D. Anosike), Niagara (all five starters back) and even graduation-depleted Iona as a title threat, though. There are a lot of good players in this league, even on teams expected to finish in the second division. The MAAC semis and finals are typically one of the better small-conference shows during championship week. Expect more of the same this season.
