Hounds are picked 6th which is about where I would put them. I think we can finish a little higher even if the breaks go our way and we stay injury free. No surprise with Fairfield and Siena being picked at the top.

I'm shocked the Hounds were even picked 6th. We only beat Marist, Manhattan, and Rider last year (swept them all) in conference play and lost probably our most valuable player in Harvey.

Yeah, but we were without 3 starters for a good portion of the season. I think it really comes down to recognition that Loyola has some good talent, but can they make it work? Middle of the pack seems right to me.

The only team we are clearly better than is Marist. Probably Manhattan, they took us out in the tourney, but have a completely different team this season.

Mediocrity. Feel the power of benign neglect.

Do students still go to the games?
Or is it like every year when there is initial excitement and than attendance starts to drop dramatically once the kids realize, "Wow, this is some of the worst basketball I've ever seen"
Go Hounds!

hoping and praying etherly and a healthy winbush are the difference makers that give us that 6th place finish this year, which I believe is possible.. I think an accurate range for us this year is 5-7.. I'd be shocked if we finished anywhere outside that range

I'd say the more likely range is 7-9. Don't see us getting out of the PIG.
