Game seemed to turn when Idowu got into foul trouble. Bonehead 3 by Gist with 6:03 to go and a clutch 3 by McGill with 4:22 to go.
For the life of me, I don't know why Risto wasn't covering the out of bounds player with 5 secs to go. We dodged a bullet with Turner missing that one and one. Great tie up by EJ to secure the possession.
It is absolutely imperative that we get something from Risto, Gist, Maxwell, And Perez. To me, it almost looked like the moment was too big for them. I felt pressure was definitely there. Not sure we can keep leaning on the big 3.
Would of been nice to have Nik in there to help with the boards but we'll have to do.

I only monitored this game by live stats and nearly puked twice. Must have been exhilarating live. I'm glad you were spared from watching it. I'm sure we all aged after this one.

Can't recall winning a game on a missed foul shot. Think we've lost a few that way. Kid hits 3 absolute bombs, 2 contested, like he is Steph curry, then missed the front end of the 1-1. When we got the rebound I forgot we were still ahead. In my mind I expected him to make both. Couldn’t quite wrap my head around it for a minute.

I hope and pray Oldtimer' s ticker is doing okay after this one. Reminded me of that crazy ass MAAC championship game we lost to Fairfield years back.

We forget sometimes that only McGill and Crawford have been through these wars before. Agee stepped up, stupid play notwithstanding. Perez looked scared shitless, and Gist, Maxwell and Ristonavic didn’t look comfortable. With a game like this under their belts I expect them to be more comfortable and play better in the next game. And Ristonavic should have been on the inbounded with 5 seconds left. Ridiculous that he wasn’t.

Unconscious shooting by Turner and Dixon. Holloway really fooled the Gaels with the inbound play( Turner taking it out).

Did I read that we passed on that Turner kid during recruiting? That freshman is a one man team.

If you watch the replay that was one heck of a play by EJ to tie that ball up. When the ball came off the rim it looked the SPU player was in better position.

Thought Gist was ok, just didn’t play well. Perez thought came out aggressive but then he just rode the pine. Maxwell got into Cluess’s dog house after a long three. Saw the two of them jawing at each other on the sideline. Meh this team has been an enigma all year.

I’ll take it. But, we stole that one. How that kid make those 3 threes, I don’t know. 2 of them would not be considered “good” shots.
The real question is, how were we confused about the inbounds after 2 consecutive timeouts??

Glad he missed the foul shot though!

What a Hollywood ending. Turner was fantastic and then misses the front end of a one and one. Can't make this stuff up. In the words of the late great Jim Valvano, "Win and advance".
P.S. A shout out to all the Iona fans who made the trip.
