Judging from your posting history, you have more "Hottest woman in the world" pics than Cluess has transfers. I have a feeling that Cluess has a lot more success with his transfers.

Time to earn your stripes.[/quote] Unowho......Tavon is 5ft 9 in.,Burton is 6-1 with a very big body and from the looks of film clips can jump sky high...Why in the world would we need Sledge who is coming off a injury for this match up... We have a 6-4 point guard who can jump and is very durable who is a budding star...Sledge will receive spotted time at most...There are many boarders that also appear to have similar views as to Sledge getting more use...Since his return from injury by my estimation Iona has a big offensive minus when he is in the game... Respect your Basketball knowledge...Please tell me where and why I am wrong...Even though I am 88 years old I am neither to stubborn or to old to learn.

[/quote] Oldtimer my hope was that tavon would be healthy enough to give us some defense and keep him in front of him and out of the paint. Slow him down and force someone else to beat us. I am definitely are of the offensive liability he is while he is on the floor. His best offensive game was vs OSU last year but that game was pretty much out of reach fairly early. He does possess defensive quickness on a player of this caliber which is beneficial to us when he gets healthy. We all know TC plays the producers, offensively anyway. I'd you are referring to AJ as your budding star I don't disagree at all but defensively I think he or anyone else will have their hands full. (this kid just missed the cut for USA basketball team which in it self demands respect. That dunk is pure athleticism at 6'1 with a good physique to go with it. Just thought, hold on let me rephrase. I know that a healthy tavon could assist us defensively on him because as you know we are not known for our defensive prowess.

ok ic 59 and albany, enough throwing salt in my wounds, back to business. The Bonnies worry me for the following reasons: They go 6'3, 6'3, 6'4, 6'8 and 7'0 in the lineup with their main guy being wright a 6'4 guard at 17.3 ppg. Bonnies Iona FG%-45 47% FT%-68 68% (DL is a big factor in this equation) 3%-26% 38% 3% defense 31% 31% ORB 2nd in A-10 Near bottom of pack in MAAC DRB Last in A-10 Near bottom of pack in MAAC Just a few highlights when I'm comparing the two teams. Knowing and wathching what I've seen so far. We are not a dominant team in the post and we all know we live and die on that arc. DL is going to have his hands full and IMO we need 3/5 players to crash the boards HARD. What is surprising is that a team can be 1st in offensive rebounds and dead last in defensive rebounds. Leads me to belive that they don't box out or their guards spend a lot of time leaking for easy transition baskets. We stink at hitting the offensive glass but I think that is by design of TC. Maybe this is our chance to get some second chance baskets on a team who is last on the defensive glass. We are really going to have to contain Wright who BTW is also a 86% free throw shooter. 26% from the 3 point line as a team is not very effective but I do give some credence to a somewhat stronger conference being the A-10. My white board would have all caps on CHECK AND REBOUND THE BASKETBALL. I would sag in paint to rattle the bigs and know that this may give up some space on open 3's but would live with that given their percentages from distance. I think bench play of Hines and Robinson will come into play also as I see DL maybe giving up some points to forsake fouls or being called for a foul trying to defend. Hopefully that junk zone we play will allow for some confusion and misdirection on their bigs resulting in some turnovers and transition baskets. Gaels on the arc are going to have to be locked and cocked and ready to knock down easy looks or ready to use the mid range shots on hard close outs. They know we can hit the 3's so I would expect the close outs to be hard and they have length on the perimeter to do so. 40 minutes of hard work, coming up with 50/50 balls, and sharing the basketball will be needed in conjuction with the aforementioned to win. BTW we lead the MAAC in assist too just to show that sharing is caring and results in wins. Any no I'm not opening up a can of worms and going on record to say we need 20 assists to win but we will need 15. 3% defense? Is that the amount of time per game that the Gaels actually play defense? Understatement after tonight. Horrible

Progressing through December after the great 3-0 start, the wheels have come off a bit especially on defense. We've faced two pretty good teams with good size and have not had much of any effort in stopping either, giving up approximately 200 points in the two games. So I guess one aspect of the progression of this team is pretty clear. We have to figure out how to stop other teams, at least somewhat, to give ourselves a chance to win. I don't know how we do this other than better effort and understanding our assignments on that end of the floor.
What we know:
Defense the last two games has been appalling; (I realize this isn't what we're known for, but we need SOME effort); We've got some injury issues: Tavon, Gomez, Hines, Shack Scott (hasn't played yet - might redshirt); AJ has been doing a nice job learning the point, but Tavon is quicker and might give us a better option of breaking pressure; (good news is that we have options at this position. I like that AJ can do it and is under control when he does); Some new guys are struggling a bit to adjust and understand their roles, as to be expected; IW didn't make the trip with the team and we don't know what that's about; The Freshmen have been getting minutes and show promise - hopefully they are learning; We have two OOC games left - then its all MAAC - no bracketbusters game this year.
What do we need to figure out between now and the start of conference play? Two OOC games left, at Nevada-Reno; at N. Iowa.
