Amen. And TC is such a class act that when he was asked in the post-game interview what makes Iona so successful in late February/early March he said, "the players". We are so very fortunate to have TC as our coach. Rider started 7-1 in the MAAC and we were sputtering (losing some heart-breakers), but it's how you finish that counts. We're back to being MAAC regular season Champs. Now let's win the tourney for the 4th straight year - this time from the #1 seed. Go Gaels!!! Z, We miss you in the chat room. Hopefully you can make a cameo appearance and keep the good vibes going.

Incredible!!! Going up to Albany with no pressure at all even as a 1 seed. Nobody expected us to be here and we have a guaranteed NIT berth in our back pocket as insurance.

This is glorious. Another postseason berth clinched. Amen! TC should certainly be considered for MAAC coach of the year.

java, I have a superstition about watching games "alone" right now.
Also, for the last 7 games I have gone to Wegmans and got one slice of plain pizza and one slice of pepperoni pizza to eat right before the game. I hope to be doing that for several more games (yeah that means we knock off Gonzaga!).
Go Gaels!!!

We have actually become the best team in the Maac, now winning 3 games up there doesn’t usually go to the best team, but it does usually go to the best coach, and we have that as well! Maac coach of the year, and it shouldn’t be close! Like someone else just said feels like we are playing with house money!

Amen! TC should certainly be considered for MAAC coach of the year. Considered? Nothing is guaranteed Greg. TC is probably 1 of 3 who could take the honor.
