Have no idea what to expect tonight. Senior night for Rider in front of a packed gym, makes this by far, the toughest MAAC game of the season for Iona. Going to have to come out with plenty of intensity from the opening tip. obviously can't let rider jump out to a big lead. Iona only shot 4-21 from three the first game, though Ben Perez didn't play. Going to have to play even on the boards again like the first game. Agee only played around 25 minutes the 1st game. Ristanovic played well the 1st meeting, and might be the x Factor, since he appears to have found his confidence again from beyond the arc. The key to beating rider the 1st game was Nikolic's defense in the 2nd half with his 6 blocked shots. Looking forward to the game. Going to take a great effort to pull off the upset. If not, then starting hoping for the 5 way tie for first at 11-7.

I won't be able to watch the game live at 7pm. Will it be available on ESPN3 or ESPN+ after the completion? Yes I think there's usually a delay of about a couple hours or so before the replay becomes available. I might be wrong though.

Yeah this is a tough challenge. Play hard, smart (no dead ball contact that results in a technical, e.g.), don’t try to do “too” much, share the ball, trust your teammates, and good intensity on D. Then just let the chips fall where they may.

Rider 5.5 favorites I never thought Iona would challenge for 1st place so Kudos to the kids and coaching staff for having a very flawed team with a chance to win the MAAC

Kudos to the Gaels for getting to this point, given the ugly start to their season. Win or lose tonight, the staff and all players are to be commended for their continued effort to be a better team. Think we can all agree the team has provided us with some real entertaining basketball the past few weeks. Go Gaels!

Need to run our offense. Defense has been OK.

Terrible start but only down 3. Rider's been pretty bad too though.

Both teams horrible from 2. That favors us, believe it or not.
