Guy, a serious note about watching the game from the suite. I viewed one Iona game from a suite. And that was probably the greatest game that the Gaels ever played, the Louisville game. The comfort and the free food and drink that the suite provided was great, but the problem was that I wasn't part of the crowd. And that night the crowd went wild, and I could only watch. If I could do it over, I'd probably choose to be with the crowd. But like I said, the free food, drink and comfort was great, and that's why they call them luxury boxes.
P.S. And Niagara, even if Calvin Murphy were playing, isn't Louisville.

Yeah, I'm thinking Iona-Niagara won't be as well attended as Iona-Louisville 1979. Also, I'm not paying.
The greatest poster in the history of the MAAC as determined by THREE separate polls.

And you can always go down and sit in the crowd if you get bored.

I don't reminisce much, but I was at that game also, as a freshman at Iona. I have seen a lot of college basketball, but that game is literally unforgettable for me. I can still see Iona breaking Louisville's press at the end of the game (and scoring nearly each time down,) while a huge crowd stood on their feet and shouted. As the realization that we were actually beating the daylights out of the No 1 team in the country settled in, the crowd got louder and louder. The noise level was thunderous. Bus loads of students attended, and the atmosphere was electric.
Iona's program has had some ups and downs, but we have some real history that we don't always appreciate fully.
I would love to see Iona playing a game like that, in a setting like that, again.

Let's hope they do.
Two such games may be a bit MUCH to ask for. But if such SHOULD become a FACT, the question is:
