MAAC Co-rookie of the year Brian Rudolph is back at the point, along with junior Brett Harvey in the backcourt. Sophomore Tony Lewis will start as part of a three-guard offense , with sharpshooter Marquis Sullivan – last year’s MAAC sixth man of the year – again providing Jimmy Patsos instant offense off the bench.
