In bullets:
- Open with losses to Air Force ( OK), and Citadel ( Bad) - struggled early losing winnable games - NJIT and Marist being particularly painful.
- Enter League play projected as last place team. Sweep both Navy & Colgate who had 2 wins combined in league play - against each other !!! ( Colgate won both).
- Nice upset win at Holy Cross provided one more win in league that last year and 6th in conference ( up from 8th).
- 9 of 10 league losses ( including tournement) by double digits and most all those games were not close.
- Won one more game overall vs. 2011 schedule.
- Still very young but most team in the league have lots of returning starters . American always seems to bring an impact player in leaving a big conference school. Lafayeete losing 3 key contributors. Pretty youthful league otherwise - Bucknell looks especially stacked.
- How many underclassmen will return , especially out of this year's freshman class and who's in the pipeline that can impact in 2012-13 ? A rebound with some size and touch would be very significant, but very hard to find. Rumor suggests a strong contigent may be on the way but where are minutes going to come from ?
- Navy will remain down from all indications given the HUGE loss of J.J. Avila. We will need to put our foot on their throats.
- A similar soft schedule out of conference like this year, and a great majority of minutes returning suggests a 15-17 win season may in line with goal of 6-8 , 7-7 in league play.
- Dream season - 18 wins and playing in Patriot League Championship. Win or lose, that would be the biggest year in 35-40 years.
