2013-14 Patriot League Preview
The Patriot League has a new look this season as it expands to ten schools with the addition of Boston University and Loyola (Md.). While the league might not be as strong at the top as in the past few years, as a whole it should continue to be on the upswing.
American Eagles 2013-14 Preview
The Eagles will be very much in transition this season, as they suffered fairly heavy personnel losses to go with Jeff Jones’ departure for Old Dominion. They will need some of their eight newcomers to play key roles right away.
Army Black Knights 2013-14 Preview
Army lost a lot from last season’s team, but has plenty of talent. The biggest adjustment will be to new roles and a concern will be a relative lack of experience as this season could be one of growing pains or a leap into contention.
Boston University Terriers 2013-14 Preview
Don’t be surprised if Boston University makes a grand entrance into the league by being the top team in their first season. They have a solid combination of talent and experience, along with some options from a personnel standpoint.
Bucknell Bison 2013-14 Preview
Although the Bison lost much more than just stats could describe from last season’s team, they aren’t exactly starting over. This is still a veteran team with good talent, and now many players who have winning experience have to move into bigger roles.
Colgate Raiders 2013-14 Preview
Matt Langel’s work continues this season, and the Raiders look like they’re making strides albeit at a time when the league as a whole is on a good upswing. They have some young talent that needs to grow to move up in the standings.
Holy Cross Crusaders 2013-14 Preview
This figures to be a crucial season for Holy Cross under Milan Brown’s leadership, with the sophomores and juniors likely being the primary drivers of this season’s bottom line and the overall direction of the program.
Lafayette Leopards 2013-14 Preview
Lafayette has quietly been right there with Bucknell and Lehigh the last few years. The Leopards should be right in the mix again this season despite a key departure.
Lehigh Mountain Hawks 2013-14 Preview
It’s easy to forget that Lehigh loses much more than just C.J. McCollum, who they also lost for much of last season due to injury. In their first year without him and two other key starters, the cupboard isn’t bare, especially on the perimeter.
