Believe it or not Vegas has us a 3 point favorite. If Iona could somehow beat them and then beat the winner of Mercer/Ill chicago the tournamant would still be a success.

Agreed a win tonight would make the tourny and probably a 2-1 weekend. I am shocked Iona is favored. According to cbs sports wake is a very young team but their starting frontline goes 6'9'' 6'9'' and 6'7'' while their two bigs off the bench are 6'6'' and 7'0''. Not a good match up for the Gaels. TC may have to play the bench more minutes and just try and press them all game.

They are big and wide from top to botom. We'll have to shoot 50%+ and force them to rush. UConn rattled them a bit in the 2nd half.

Great half. I don't expect a repeat in the second half but I hope we don't make it too exciting.

Let's see how this year's team deals with prosperity. Up 30 at the half versus an ACC school. If Quinny could upset UCONN wouldn't that be nice for the Gaels RPI? Gotta be encouraged that we can do enough to win this game and then who knows which Gael team shows up for the the final one in the Tourny.

Ay carumba! Where did this come from! Keep it up Gaels. Don't take your foot off the gas.

good win, like sledge at the point and just let momo score, dennis played better int he 2nd half, probably hard for him to be our PF, now everyone who looks to knock the team when we lose will be back on board, would have liked to see english play more in the 2nd half is ellis there?

I know you were all thinking it (BYU), but it didn't happen. Nice job, Gaels! Let's take a minute to enjoy this one. 12 hours ago, we didn't think it would happen!

Also, UCONN must be breathing a sigh of relief!

I forgot about Ellis, is he still sick, is he in St. Thomas?
