Expect the Saints to ugly this up to mitigate against their lack of offensive skill. We need to keep focused as we have more at stake than they do. Keep our eyes on the prize. Losing one game would stink, but we can't afford anyone suspended for 3 or 4. Just play our game and do what we do. Put SP's behind us and learn from it.

I believe that Siena fans think that Poole is their best player, and he probably is, but the guy that worries me the most is Evan Hymes. He has great range on his shot, and is capable of scoring big numbers if he's hot. And we don't defend the three very well. However, what might help us is that even if he hits a couple of threes, JP pulls him and forgets to put him back in. As I never understand Patsos' substitution patterns. And I doubt that the Saints will slow things down, so I'm expecting an entertaining game. However, with JP, you never know what they'll do.

I guess it depends if AJ plays. If he does, I think they try to slow it down and ugly it up. Going up and down just plays into our hands at home. If AJ sits, maybe they take the chance they can out shoot us. Will be interesting to see.

I am hoping for Casimir to go off tonight to spread floor, then Laury takes their bigs off the dribble. We will need high energy especially at start to put Siena down early. Put them in panic mode. Amayo could be the x-factor if he stays out of foul trouble. Thinking Iona wants to show everyone Iona basketball after the frustration of the SPC game. Fast and furious! GO GAELS!

No AJ and they will go after Laury to get him in foul trouble early.

Agreed. was really expecting this. would have preferred if AJ missed the Fairfield game, since tonight is against Siena and on ESPNU. Well, the team has responded going 4-1 without IW, so next man in tonight. Obviously need big games for Casimir and Bebis

We need Casimir, Amayo, Muhammad, Bebis and Hines (and possibly Duravcevic) to all step up tonight to try and fill the void. Without 2 of our top 3 players, this will be a real test of the team's ability to overcome adversity. So far this season, they have answered the bell. Go Gaels!

Team effort tonight. Everyone contribute and have fun. Pick up AJ and IW.
Hopefully team learned you can't touch a ref.
Looking forward to welcoming AJ back Sunday.
Go Gaels Go!!!

Big opportunity for Casimir, Bebis and Ibn. Amayo is going to have to shut down Poole and play under control. The team should feel like their backs are really against the wall. Iona plays with a controlled fury we win this. Which would be doubly sweet.

Tough game without AJ and IW. I will be at a black tie dinner at the Capital Hilton. Hopefully, I'll be able to sneak some time on my iPhone. Need DL to stay out of foul trouble and Sed to have a big game. It's step up time, boys.
Go Gaels!!!

Yeah, this is one of those get-out-of-the-building-with-a-W games. A loss here drops our RPI like 20 spots at least.
