Maac was tough in 2006. I remember those games. Manhattan had our number back then. Gonzo!!!! Put the cork in the bottle! ? What does 2006 have to do with topic? ?

It's not even in the convo with 2006, never mind 98 or 12. And 14 may have been better, we were fooled by how bad the Maac was. Side note all 7 teams that had 40%+ of their shots being 3 pointers are all gone from the tourney. The ncaa and Maac tourney are not made for three point teams to survive for long. We have to change, my opinion has dramatically changed since we lost to Manhattan. Second side note how many non Maac top 100 teams have we beaten away from home in the cluess tenor? Denver and Maryland is all that comes to mind and I don't think Maryland was top 100 and Denver was between 80-100. Cluess will always win but he now needs to change a bit so he can win when it matters. While I am rambling does anyone know how cluess has done elsewhere in the playoffs? I don't recall reading about too many long playoff runs? Anyone know? Edit: reading his bio he won 4 state championships as a high school coach so he definitely had playoff success there, he had decent success in college playoffs but never a championship. Looks like he always gets to the championship game, his kriptonite may be the 3 games in 3 days, he doesn't know how to win when his players don't have their legs any more. Not only that, but it's not an accident that the teams advancing all defend, and run efficient offenses. You don't have to be high scoring to be a good offense.

Now that pain has subsided from the final few weeks of the season, thought it made sense to revisit this thread. No question 14-15 team is not in the same conversation as the at large or 97-98 team. But still was an excellent team and ranks among Iona's 10 best seasons ever. As for the Cluess era would rank the teams as follows:
11-12 12-13 14-15 10-11 13-14
For the record I think 15-16 will be better than them all. :-)
And as for Iona all time seasons probably looks like this:
79-80 78-79 83-84 97-98 84-85 11-12 00-01 82-83 05-06 14-15

I don't think 13-14 was Cluess worse team, in my mind that was arguably his second best team.
I also think you are over rating 00-01 based on a close ncaa loss.
Otherwise I think your lists are accurate.

Otherwise I think your lists are accurate. Agreed. Tough to rank TCs teams since they were all impressive in their own way. Honestly 12-13 was probably his worst team but since they won the MAAC it's hard to put 13-14 ahead of them.

Believe next year will be 20th anniversary of the team that lost to Syracuse in the tourney. Wonder if anything special will be planned to commemorate the team.
