Sorry, but this is TM’s fault. It’s the same schedule every year. Very regional. A couple of Ivies. A couple of PL teams. A coupe of AE teams. A military school and some quasi-academic bottom feeder. The company he wants to keep. If he wanted his MBB program to have a competitively aspirational schedule they would have one. No A10/AAC-like league member looking for a cupcake would turn them down.
After the 21-22 defections Dunne was on the record saying they were going to recruit kids who want to stay a Marist. I get it, the college is great, but wouldn’t a competitively aspirational schedule help retain them?

I get it, the college is great, but wouldn’t a competitively aspirational schedule help retain them? 100%. These kids want to showcase themselves and play at the highest level. Maybe we wouldn't beat St. John's or Seton Hall or Syracuse, but I'd love to get some local power teams on the schedule. In lieu of that, why an A10 or AAC school? Give these kids a chance to shine on a larger stage and maybe they'll stay. Keep them locked away playing bottom rung teams in an off-Broadway setting and they'll keep leaving when they flash some skill.

All that complaining for this. Lol 😂 ... and I believe getting a few wins in the OC schedule is important for the young group. We've played high level teams during the chuck Martin Era and that didn't really translate to wins in conference play. Confidence and positive vibe/experience are important for this team.

Problem is we weren’t getting wins against the low level teams - not like we came out of these OOC at 8-1

He also was able to retain Brick, and the recruiting seems to be picking up. Hopefully Marist builds on the momentum of getting to maac final.

If he did MBB would have been out of the wilderness years ago. And he would have built a secret underground bunker as protection from fox94:).
