Still waiting for the toughness on a consistent basis. More aggressive attacks at the rim they will foul us. Burton's holding ball too long at end of half saved us from a collapse. Need to start playing to win from start of second half until the end. Positives are sharing the basketball and few turnovers. Negatives fighting for rebounds and closing out on shooters.

Agree with the good ball movement and perimeter defense but still do many holes in the zone allowing easy baskets. Also like the balanced scoring but would like to see Laury take more than 3 shots.

We need to make Laury more of a focus for the offense. Huge offensive skill set, and a great passer to the wings.

I can't watch this anymore. Even though we are still in the game, our defense is so bad. The announcer even said it, "Iona doesn't even contest shots". I hope we focus more on our damn defense one of these days.

We are letting way too many open uncontested shots. Need to close out faster on shooters. Crazy. Coach Cluess has got to be frustrated by this and the rebounding. We have got to find a rotation that can get it done!

We look like we are playing down a man. Everybody is open.

This is not a very good basketball team. Lucky the league is very average at best, we'll get a lot of wins based on that.

Disappointed. Where is the fight? Feel like Laury is regressing with the lack of aggression and poor body language. He looks beaten when fouls called and rushing his free throws big time. Something has to change to get him on track . We are dead without him contributing on both ends.

Oh well.
We've been spoiled the three prior seasons. We had an incredibly talented offense 3 years in a row, and that masked our defensive problems for the most part. This season we have a good offensive team, but not nearly as powerful as we had in the recent past. As a result our defensive problems are exposed for all to see. Nevada also made some nice adjustments at the half, we didn't.
Cluess is going to need to coach some defense, or someone on the staff has to. Right now the Iona D is like Viagra for the offense of every team we play.

Boy was I wrong on this team, their deficiencies have been exposed. The defense is very hard to watch and we need a second big man. Right now the way Laury is shooting free throws we aren't going to win any close games. Look at the tapes from last year and see that when he shuffled his feet on the line he made his free throws, he needs to go back to that. This team doesn't get many easy baskets, its either a 3 or a great move by Laury. The way they are playing now it will be hard to beat any decent team. Looks like the St.Bonnie game sent this team on a tailspin. Probably lose next 2 and then try to pick up the pieces from there as the schedule is fairly easy for most of January. Cluess needs to make some changes to right the ship.
On a bright note that web cast by Nevada was easily the best I have ever seen.
