Really good measuring stick for the Gaels. Portis , Williams, and Kingsley are beasts on the boards. Arkansas also has very quick guards, who are excellent ball handlers. Should be a high octane, open court type game. Ark coach (former Missouri coach) loves to run, so I anticipate the game to be in the 90's.
Arkansas has the size and talent of a Big 10 caliber team (Ohio State, Mich St) that we always seem to be paired up against, if were fortunate enough to make the tourney.

OT...correct. Believe we are currently #1 in the nation in scoring and 3 pt shooting, as well as #12 in RPI. They should just end the season now. Isn't gonna get any better than this. :-) Tied for #1 in 3 point shooting and believe it or not just approximately #12 in PPP, Illinois is averaging 97 points a game! Check out ESPN MBB stats.

ESPN NCAA BB site has individual and team stats. They don't list a report with the number of 3 pointers but do have Iona listed at #15 in 3 point FG percentage at 45.1%.
If you go to the 3 point FG % listed you can seee that Iona has made 65 3 pointers in 5 games. E Washington has 65 too but a lower FG %.

This game is purely house money. A loss to a top 25, NCAA tournament caliber team on the road probably will enhance our RPI. Go have fun and let it fly boys!!!

I remember when we went out to ISU and beat the Cyclones in their tournament. At the time ISU was #22. I do not know whether our Gaels will pull the upset in Arkansas, but if they play up to their potential I can see it happening. I am sure that our guys have respect for the Hawgs, but will not back down from the challenge. My guess is that once Arky sees the game film from last evening, they will have a new found respect for Iona College. Play fast and loose, Gaels. We're behind you!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Go Gaels!!!

Iona offense rated 4th best in the country. Three teams ahead of us? Duke, Kentucky, Wisconsin.

What I like about this team so far is I don't think they will believe they are playing with house money. Stay hungry and take it to them. Expecting a great game! Go Gaels and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Just press on 3pm in % 3 pointers and it sorts from top to bottom on that stat. you will see we are tied in 3pm and 3 pointers per game.
Ot you are right by the end of the year 88 ppg will Lead the country but not this early.
