Hats off to TC and staff for this season. No matter what happens in Springfield this was the most successful MAAC conf season in Iona history. For some reason that's not being publicized as much as it should. The most successful MAAC conf season in Iona history. Pretty impressive.
They include an off night from 3 from everyone
major foul trouble involving Laury and at least one other
A crazy one night performance from Baron
an amazing hot 3 point shooting night from someone like Rider
a major injury or suspension
A terrible night from the foul line, likely involving Laury
A game where we come unmotivated to play d or rebound-which I can't see in the tourney
So even though I think we are the favorite there are a lot of obstacles to avoid in order to win this thing.
As I have stated I am going on record saying we will win an NCAA game should we get in, even though a lot has to do with the matchup we get. Want to avoid athletic size and/or a very good coach that never loses a first round game like Izzo.
I think that DL3 is the one guy that has to keep performing at a high level. The coach's move to have him sit and watch for the first few minutes was genius.
