Believe the Maxwell beef was over a Siena player bumping him. Coach Eaton was just trying to talk some sense in to him so he wouldn’t go after the player I think.
Separately, I know things are bad but so people actually believe Iona will LOSE 20 games this season!? I don’t see it happening. Believe Iona has only lost 20 games 3 times in its entire history and in two of those seasons the coach lost his job within one year.

The one positive to come out of this game is the fact that the Iona commercials have improved greatly. That, and the hope that this was absolute rock bottom for this team.

The good news:
We win the MAAC title with a miracle joebird special by Hudson.
The bad news:
Now we face Prairie View as a 12 point underdog in the PIG.

I have witnessed plenty of bad losses, but this one is right up there with all of them. Can't remember a Iona team showing so much frustration after a game. Siena's coach Christian actually went to the end of the Iona bench and help Agee up off the court, Ristanovic who rarely shows emotion kicked a couple chairs to the ground while Gist and Crawford ran off the court before the rest of the team. These kids really do care and play hard, but just can't get it done. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out.

No. Don’t see us going 3-5 and then losing in Albany.

We just need to run the table and win NCAA PIG and then upset 1 seed in following round. It's good when people don't lose their sense of humor.

Postgame Cluess said, Risto, Nik and Agee all sick. Only have 5 guys practicing.
Losing 20 games is not likely despite a few comments. Only 8 games left, I don’t think we go 3-5 in the maac the rest of the way.

Well we could have been #23 NC State today who scored a total 24 points in a home loss to VT.

Maxwell having words with Coach Eaton at 1/2 court and another player steps between them. Coach walks away and Maxwell walks off disgusted... Staff has to run off a couple recruiting mistakes. This team stinks. Any thoughts they can win 3, and probably now 4, games in a row in the MAAC tourney is pure delusion. have u seen a team in the MAAC that can?

We just lost to Siena. We cannot outscore Siena, a team with the slowest front court in college hoops. Not one player on Siena could guard EJ but we went away from him. Can’t think of a good reason why. I’m going in to every game from here on out expecting a loss, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. 3 games in a row EJ didn't touch the ball in last 5 minutes, that is on Cluess
