1. Win the damn game. Important for Arnold to get one. 2. Defend. Stetson isn't good. This can't be one of those games where we look up and they're shooting 50% from the floor. 3. Get some assists. Share the ball, stop the one-on-one crap they pulled vs Ohio. 4. Spread the minutes. This is a game to play everyone. Can't have Crawford playing 35-plus again. Looking at these again: 1. Yup. Up 1 at the half. We HAVE to win this game. 2. Defense has been good enough. 36% allowed, 8 turns forced. 3. Blech on the assists, just 5. Jelly has 2 and it should have been 3 but Agee blew a dunk. 4. Minutes spread among who's there, but no Risto or Nikolic leaves us thinner up front than I'd like. Biggest issue right now is Crawford and Ross a combined 0-6 from 3. Team also has too many turnovers and Van Eyke's energy is good but he's gotta make the FTs he creates with his energy. Patience, though. The D is good. The O should improve. If Iona doesn’t hit 3’s they usually don’t win. Gist has hit 2 3’s and the other 10 were missed. Not sure our d is good, Stetson just can’t shoot either. Pretty simplistic to say but whomever hits more shots in the second half will win.

Worst half of Iona BB that I can remember. We're lucky that Stetson is so bad.

The D is good enough. The O is why this is a game right now. The D is also good bc this team isn't that good And the MAAC isn't that good. Get it? The problem is that we continue to bomb away even though we have no shooters. Go to the friggin basket. This isn't hard.

Playing one of the worst teams in the country, and down 8 and can't score to save our lives.
Feel better soon, Tim.

When does anyone not named Agee decide to show up?

If Cluess comes back We can still be special. We are shooting about 30% from 3 and 65% from ft line I think. Cluess will obviously help that, team plays hard , plays D and hustled. Was McNeil there? Don't think Nic leaves but Risto....

A grinder win. Free throw shooting was off tonight. Left a number of points on the table. Agee came up big when we needed him. Boards throughout the game and some key baskets down the stretch. Also, Like Ross's game. A versatile player who will only get better. Jelly gave a nice boost off the bench and helped set up some teammates. Concerned about the minutes logged (especially for EJ) and limited subbing in the second half. We really miss having TC on the bench. No offense to coach Arnold but TC has a special talent in motivating players and he's masterful with substitutions. I would like to see McNeil and Thiam get more minutes. Need to see their contributions. Hopefully Risto and Nic are still with the team. We need their size and skills.

Nice to see Crawford hit the late 3. Can’t win without him. Hopefully a win relaxes the team and they get into a flow. By the way I don’t see anyone in the MAAC handling Agee.
