We're #3

[MSOrange]

CBS ranked the schools in every state. It's a slideshow so I'll save everyone's time and not even link it. We're #3 in New York behind St Bonaventure and the Johnnies

New York

• 1. St. Bonaventure Bonnies
  
  For the first time since the Bob Lanier days, the Bonnies have the best team of the 22 that call New York state home. That's due in large part to the outstanding backcourt of Matt Mobley and Jaylen Adams (pictured). Bona's looking to improve from a 20-win season in 2016-17, and it's probably going to be the No. 2 team in the A-10.
  
  The rest
  2. St. John's
  3. Syracuse
  4. Iona.
  5. Buffalo
  6. Manhattan
  7. Hofstra
  8. Albany
  9. Niagara
  10. Wagner
  11. Colgate
  12. Stony Brook
  13. Fordham
  14. Cornell.
  15. Columbia
  16. Siena
  17. Canisius
  18. Army
  19. LIU Brooklyn
  20. Marist
  21. Binghamton
  22. St. Francis (NY)

That's fair, on paper.

That's fair, on paper.

Agree.

Stings. But I agree.

12/22

 

[MSOrange]

That's fair, on paper.

I agree. I just have us beating the Bonnies in my iggy predictions so I'm trying to avoid the urge to hit that old Edit button.

 

[pearl31]

not sure about Bonnies (we'll find out next month) but we're better on paper than SJ

on paper we were better than them the last two years - which is why I was careful to include the "on paper" disclaimer

[SoBeCuse]

I don’t know. Bonnies have way better guards than us. Rothstein and others have been talking up StJ.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

We will find out very early on if we deserve to be chosen ahead of Iona.

 

[OrangeMojo]

Incredible how much Siena has fallen off.

Guys...

If the media was always right Duke or U.K. would be trying to defend their National Title for the tenth year in a row, Syracuse would have been in the FF last year, Lebron would have 6 NBA titles, Syracuse would have lost to Clemson in football, and Hillary would be president.

Enough with predictions. It’s time for everyone to prove it.

 

[Gotothehole]

Games are not played on paper, I think we have a better team and better coach. That's why the play the games

 

[CaptainJ]

It's kind of funny that neither SU nor St John's are NY's college team on paper this year. And to the people saying "paper" blah blah, many of you are playing the games on electronic paper ad nauseam.

Well, that list isn't worth the pixels it is printed on. In a stunning, world-shattering upset, #1 St.Bonaventure lost (in Olean, btw) to Niagara last night.

Great job, CBS.

To be fair, they were without their best player. However, the best team in NYS should never lose at home to Niagara. Ever.

So I guess CBS will move Niagara up to #1 and we'll drop to #4 behind St Bona.
