Good publicity again this week in the NYC/Tri-state market for Iona and Manhattan from the NY POST Local College Rankings. St. Peter's moves up and Fordham drops down but the Stags are still in last place behind NJIT:
Local college rankings: St. John’s not only red-hot team
The winning streaks continue, with three of the hottest teams in the country residing in or just outside of the city limits. St. John’s has won six straight, Iona hasn’t lost in more than a month and Manhattan has won six straight, with four coming on the road.
All three teams are capable of advancing in the NCAA Tournament, but it wouldn’t take much for none of them to reach the Big Dance. It’s a maddening, exciting time of year.
(Last week’s rankings in parentheses)
2. Iona (2)
Record: 17-8, 14-2
Up next: Friday (8 p.m.) at Rider
The Gaels will put their nine-game winning streak on the line with three straight road games – at Rider, Marist and Manhattan.
3. Manhattan (3)
Record: 20-6, 13-4
Up next: Friday (7 p.m.) at Siena
The Jaspers are peaking at the right time, looking as good as they did during their early-season eight-game winning streak, only snapped when George Beamon suffered a shoulder injury. But Beamon is back, scoring 31 points in Wednesday’s win at Monmouth.
11. St. Peter’s (12)
Record: 10-16, 6-11
Up next: Saturday (7 p.m.) at Monmouth

Up next: Saturday (2 p.m.) at St. Joseph’s
13. Fairleigh Dickinson (13)

Up next: Saturday (3 p.m.) vs. Sacred Heart
14. LIU Brooklyn (14)
