The 2004-05 season was a magical run that will likely not be duplicated. Caught many, even the most ardent supporters, by surprise. I attended the Niagara game right before Christmas, and I don't think there were 1,000 people in Sojka. The wins over St. Joe's and Pitt followed over the next two weeks and the rest, as they say, is history.
That said, the 05-06 season has to go down as the best ever. 14-0 through the Patriot League is a remarkable feat in any year. One home loss to Villanova, and road losses to Duke, Santa Clara and nationally-ranked Northern Iowa. Pretty remarkable regular season, capped off by a 9-seed in the NCAA tournament. (FWIW: Alabama, NC State, Seton Hall and Northern Iowa were the 10 seeds). Will likely be a long time before another Patriot League team produces such an accomplished season.
