Idk how Iona is going to defend down low or rebound, also from the few games ive watched UNC play, they take and hit a ton of 3s. Having said that, play our game and hope they have an off night. UMBC did it.

UMBC did it. Yeah not the ideal matchup! I had more Hope last year but you never know, you still have to play the game.

Last time we played UNC was during Willard’ first season. We lost 107-72. UNC was the #1 team in the country.
The time before that we beat them at MSG with Ruland as head coach in the ‘02-03 season.
We also played them in the early 80s with Kennedy as head coach. Believe the game was at MSG, perhaps others on the board remember that game.

Steve Burtt shooting in that game in 83 or 82? it’s my avatar. I believe one of the only games in Jordan’s career he didn’t score double digits. First game of holiday festival, lost by about 14 but it was competitive.

That team had a lot of talent, many of the best players from the city, if we ever got one of those type guys now we would all go crazy! It was a different time where we could steal some gems.

I was at the MSG game, and talent wise we had great talent, Springer, Burtt, Grimes, Hargraves, etc. However, their talent was a little better, Jordan, Worthy, Daugherty, etc. The game was competitive, and it was before the BE was formed. UNC might have been the best team an Iona team has ever played.

Revenge from the ugly loss in the prior year's MAAC championship game. 1-3 all-time vs. UNC

That UNC team was 28-3 and lost in the second round of the NCAAs. The 07-08 UNC team that Willard lost to was 36-3 and made it all the way to the Final 4.
