This is disappointing. Plain and simple. A ways to go for sure, but our OOC slate at the moment is less than impressive. Will need at least 2 guarantee games to bolster it. I hope we can get a couple, if not I will meet Greg in Vegas, even he can't jinx us in this tournament

if we play akron and CSB it might not be that bad, both could be top 100 teams on neutral site

Also agree that we need to add a couple of buy games to really give us a chance at a good RPI. This tournament, Drexel, Tulsa, possibly Vanderbilt and a big major would not be that bad of a schedule.

Still hoping we have some real "up" games being scheduled.

[Akron is better than a 145. Possibly much better. [/quote]GREG.... They were 9-9 in conference... They were 2-9 on the road... They lost to some poor teams along the way... There is no doubt that a mediocre Div.1 team can have hot game and beat a much better team on a given night, but Akron should be no more then general concern meeting...Greg get rid of that worry hat...

Would imagine this tournament was probably a Plan C option for us, but this is what happens when nobody wants to play you. Still have around 8 games to fill. Let's wait and see what the rest look like.

I would like to see better competition also but it seems nobody wants to play Iona. I saw a few games at the South Point. Great place to watch games. Not a bad seat in the house. Only thing I don't like is one end is curtained off. This is an arena that was made for the rodeo that comes to town every year.

[/quote] Don't misunderstand me, I'm happy to play them and a game we should win. I just know they have a good class coming in and they are better than they were last year. Certainly better than 145.
