MAAC Winner

Niagara: The Purple Eagles arrived to the top maybe a year early. The backcourt combo of Mason and Green both sophomores combined for 35.3 points per game. MAAC fans you likely have two more years of them. 

MAAC Runner Up

Manhattan: A little over half way through the season, the Jaspers figured out how to play without their star player, George Beamon who is out for the year with an ankle injury. Since February 3rd the Jaspers are 6-2.  

MAAC Sleeper Team

Iona: The Gaels have all the makings of a dangerous tournament team. Great guard play with Momo Jones and  Sean Aramand. Their biggest problem. defense.
