Iona needs to win and maintain a share of first place so they can go into the Niagara game in first. There will be as big of a media contingent as possible for a regular season college basketball game as coach k goes for 1000 wins and to get some media to stay they need to know the first place team in the Maac plays the second game. Would love the Iona students to either make signs or do some sort of chant at St. John's either stating best team in ny plays next or your scared to play us or something like that. Highly doubtful this will happen but I can hope. Can not go into that game with a two game losing streak and in a tie for third and think anyone will care about the next game, as they probably won't either way, but first place gives some sort of chance at attention. English and LAURY both being in the top 5-10 in scoring before that game may raise some attention as well.

Wishful thinking Joebird. Don't think we will be anything more than an afterthought in the media's mind regardless of what happens against rider.

Iona wins MAAC and makes tournament wll draw media attention. Nothing else will. Against Rider we need to rebound and turn them over to control tempo of game. Hopefully we do not see them shooting above their season average.

husker, it seems EVERY team shoots above their season average, when playing us.

Unfortunately, I do not think it is a coincidence.

Huge game tonight. Looking at schedule these are our next five games after tonight:
NIA SPU @ff SIE MAR
We should win each of these games even with IW out. A win tonight means we will be in driver's seat for MAAC and likely have a 2 game lead heading into Draddy on Feb 13. A loss tonight and we'll be spending the next five games playing catch-up just to stay even heading into Draddy on the 13th.

Didn't you read the post where Patsos says that IW will return for the Siena game?

Nothing to be careful about. We SHOULD win those games even without IW. It's a statement of fact.
