Reviewing our non-conference picks for MU men's hoops
I recently discovered (like five minutes ago!) one could go back in archives and locate former blogs..You learn something new every day...!!
Here is a blog I did in Sept. looking at MU's non conference men's hoops schedule.....
So far.. they are, realistically, on schedule for 4-6 non-conference wins including this anticipated tough start. I had Clemson as a toss-up game, and more or less it was.
Here is the old blog:
Thought some of you may be interested in this. Went to Lindy's College
Basketball magazine and put down the magazine's predictions for all of Monmouth's non-conference men's baskeball opponents.
Here they are, though not in exact order of MU's schedule. They are listed
home or away with the league favorite in parenthesis. Also a W means I think MU wins the game, L is a loss, T is a toss up:
Old Dominion (A) 6th in 12-team Colonial Ath. Association (Hofstra) L
Clemson (N) 9th in 12 team ACC (UNC)T (I think MU has a chance)
Akransas State (N) 7th in seven-team Sun Belt Eastern Division (New Orleans) W
Lehigh (H) 3rd in eight-team Patriot League (Bucknell)W
St. Peter's (H) 9th in 10-team MAAC (Marist, our old NEC buddy)W
Rider (A) 8th in MAAC T
Penn (A) 1st in Ivy L
Loyola Marymount (H) 3rd in eight-team West Coast Conference (Gonzaga) T
Hartford (H) 9th in 9 team America East (Vermont) W
Seton Hall (A) 14th in Big East (UConn)L
Houston (A) 2nd in Conference USA (Memphis)L
Texas A & M Corpus-Christie (A) third in Southland (Sam Houston State)L
How many wins for MU do you see? Lately Monmouth has not done well in
non-conference games...I think MU can beat Ark State, Lehigh, St. Peter's,
maybe Rider but it's on the road, and Hartford. Maybe Loy Marymount in an
upset as it's here. That's about 4-6 wins of 12. 5-6 wins Ok to good. Less than 4, not good.

Tony I still predict 5 non conference wins, and 23-24 overall! Know why? Cause Im a hawk aholic!
I say 14-18 for the Hawks this year. I honestly think the NEC is better than most believe, and I think the Hawks will go about 9-9 or 10-8 at best.
Tony you herd it here ,RMU 17-1,FDU 14-4,QUP 13-5,SH 12-6,LIU 12-6, MU 10-8 with out a true point guard MU can not run its stuff.
If MU guard play does not ratchet up you could be right. BUT, I beleive Shipman will be fine as the season takes shape. Waaay...too early to give up on him and or this back court.
I agree RMU and FDU will be one two Monmouth will be 3rd to 6th its all up to the guards,but MU will be there in the end,Lets take one game at a time and improve or else warm up the bus.
