So we can't draw conclusions about the D because it's D3 but we can conclude Jelly is a stud even though it's D3. Interesting! There is more of a body of work to draw a conclusion about Jelly — maroon and gold scrimmage, scouting reports, previous history, etc.I think it’s a pretty safe conclusion to draw. I’m not saying the defense isn’t something to keep an eye on, but I’m not too worried based on last night. Don't we have a body of evidence suggesting defensive struggles under Cluess?

Cluess has a spotless defensive track record after the age of 60!!!

Have my fingers crossed about TC, and I'm highly doubtful that he has the flu. And I'm attributing his absence to our less than inspired play. As for my picks for POG: 1. IW-a lot of fun to watch, and he makes things happen on the court. A better 3pt shooter than I thought, so you can't play off him. And this opens up his "drive and dish". Assists will be in the eight point range, IMO. 2. Ben Perez-EPatrick has been pushing him all PS, and last night we saw why. They rarely looked his way, and we were really struggling from deep early on. I think we were 2-8 for the first half, but were more Iona like in the second. Ben was 3-3 from "three", and also had eight boards, and played good defense. EPat calls it his all around game. All I can add is that when Ben is on, the team is usually playing well. 3. Asante Gist-We are seeing a much more confident AG this year. Both in his ball handling and his 3pt shot. Like IW, Asante's O/S shooting opens up drive, and he also looks to pass the ball when driving to the basket. I guess we should realize that it's the FIRST game and sloppiness is to be expected. And as such, last night, the team met our expectations. Since u always correct grammar please explain assists will be in the 8 PT range Thank u

1970, thanks. In business we call that an attention getter (just making sure that you're paying attention).

As happy as I am with a win and to see some players score and rebound the way they did, I'm a little concerned on the defensive side. Allowing that amount of points to a D3 is not acceptable.
I know it is the 1st game of the year and I'm not on the ledge yet, but just expected it to be better.

How do you think the Tar Heel fans felt last year when their team went into the locker room at half time? MSV had nothing to lose and went all out to compete with us. Would not worry about it. I do agree it would have been nice to see better defense, especially early in the 2nd half...

I have NO IDEA if we were trying to work on certain things in the exhibition. But, if it were a real game, I'd be concerned that we didn't get our best 3pt shooter, Ben Perez more touches.

JMO, but I think that Jelly is a VG PG, and if it were a real game, I'm hoping that even if Ben is the sixth or seventh option, Jelly would get him MORE than three deep attempts. Especially when he hits his first three shots, like he did the other night.
THREE POINT SHOOTING! It's what we do!

It's the Iona system to feed the hot shooter, so yes, in a real situation Perez would get fed until he cools off. But Jelly was also hot.

Although it was an exhibition like we have already said, we never really made any adjustments. We just came out playing the same kind of basketball which consisted of new schemes to outscore them.

Let's get the season going--please! Hilarious thread including having the UNC NCAA game and MSV pre-season exhibition being discussed simultaneously!
