Metro Athletic Conference (MAAC) Preview | The College Experience: Basketball (Ep. 1162)

The College Basketball Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast break down all 32 conference previews in College Basketball. Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac), Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_), and Troy Chewning (@TroyChewning) go team by team in the Metro Athletic Conference and predict who will finish at the top of the league.

The trio preview the newly rebranded Metro Athletic Conference (formerly the MAAC) for the 2026-27 season. They recap last year’s surprise regular-season dominance by Merrimack and Siena’s tournament run that led Gerry McNamara to Syracuse. Then they note league-wide themes like defense, slow tempo, strong home-court advantage, and unders.

The crew breaks down coaching tiers and highlights stock up teams and stock down teams. They give preseason power rankings and debate contenders such as St. Peter’s, Merrimack, Marist, Fairfield, Iona, and Quinnipiac, then make predictions for the conference tournament winner, coach of the year, and player of the year, including a discussion of Merrimack’s Ty Dorsett injury.
