The Sacred Heart Pioneers enter their inaugural season in the MAAC with high hopes of making an impressionful first impression in their conference tournament. However, to do so will require stellar performances throughout the regular season from them, with balanced offense and defense both essential for their success; home victories over rival teams also aiding morale.
Sacred Heart enters this season boasting an outstanding roster, comprised of both veteran players and young talent who showed promise during last year. Furthermore, freshmen can play key roles on offense; their strength lies in being versatile players capable of filling multiple positions within an offense while scoring from both inside and outside positions.
Jordan Jones (13.1 points per game, 3.6 assists per game, and 1.8 steals per game), was honored as Player of the Year in 2022-21 by being named All-NEAC guard and joining two-time all-conference forward Kellen Amos (9.8 ppg, 6.4 rpg). To maximize their chance of victory against competitive opponents, The Pioneers need to improve their shooting efficiency from three-point range while finding ways to limit turnovers in games.
Sacred Heart will face a difficult test in their season-opener against UConn, an extremely talented squad that should win by at least 30 points - the over/under total is 145.5 points.
