It’s a miracle we are here. House money at this point, PIG or not. Doesn’t matter, it’s all house money from here on out. pig isn't house money, need to win but not worrying about that until Sunday prairie view then Virginia in columbus

I’ll be saying this for 8 days- we can not lose play in game. Would ruin everything! Iona ncaa loser rep would be cemented forever! Totally disagree. Sorry. Enjoy the moment. McGill has the chance to be America's darling and the Rehm story could attract some national rooting fans. what is the rehm story?

Finishing with 10 straight wins may keep the Gaels out of Dayton.

Tried to pull a list together of outcomes we are rooting for if we want to avoid the PIG.
America East: Root for Binghamton to beat Vermont (tonight). Big Sky: Root for Montana and Northern Colorado to lose (first game Thursday). Big West: Root for UC Irvine and UCSB to lose (first game Thursday). Southland: Root for Sam Houston and Abilene Christian to lose (first game Friday).
NEC: Root for FDU over SFPA (tonight at 7 PM). Probably doesn't matter either way as the winner is most likely headed to the PIG. MEAC: Root for Norfolk State to lose (first game tomorrow at 6 PM). Same as above. Probably doesn't matter. SWAC: Root for Prairie View A&M to lose (tonight at 830 PM). Same as above. Probably doesn't matter.
So if your goal is to avoid the PIG you really need at least one of the first four conference upsets to hit. Even at that, the committee could see us as an inferior team to the upset winners of these conferences.
Would handicap it as follows:
PIG: 70% Straight 16: 29% 15: 1%

Play in good if we win, bad if we don’t. Joe, Go back to your physical therapist for a massage! 😉 Orchids of Asia?

Former team manager who is now part of the roster. Out there without his name on the back of his jersey. Hard not to root for a kid like this.

I think it's better for the program to have two potential games. A chance to stay in the national eye a bit longer. Selfishly rooting for the pig that feeds to Salt Lake City as I'll be visiting my son for the first round games.

Finishing with 10 straight wins may keep the Gaels out of Dayton. That and a pedigree of making the tourney.

Had a few people tell me how good Iona looked, this also could help our chances of bumping out of Dayton. Not sure if I want out, all I know is don't want Virginia due to upset last year. My theme for the week is Win play in good, lose play in Bad!

You are like the cameraman shooting the old Sally Struthers "Feed the Children" commercials.... I know you have a peanut butter sandwich to give those kids but you refuse to as it would ruin the effect.
