I'll make this one. Maybe that's what the team needs, to see me in the stands. They just can't focus without me there.

Hopefully we will see a starting lineup of IW, Gist, Crawford, Agee and Ross. This first 4 needs to get the majority of minutes going forward. the only way this team turns into a winner is if Jelly plays well and the offense flows through him and the other 3 play like the all maac players we expected. The last spot can go to whomever deserves it most or whomever we need that night. Initially Ross would be my pick. These guys need to start playing like a team very soon or this team will finish as a second tier pig team.
Hoping Coach Cluess is Ok and can come back soon to help with this turn around, if he’s not back soon our hope will have to turn to him returning for next season. If his return is unknown come April Iona will really be in a tough spot. At this point all we can do is hope and pray.

If TC is out this whole season, I would hate to be in charge of making decisions for the team in the offseason, because I don't think you can start next year without a head coach for a second year in a row. Hopefully Tim comes back sometime this year, even if its at the end of the season.

Just want to see us make small steps forward. I don't think at this point in the season we can just flip a switch and play lights out ball. I think we need to take it slow which includes Agee focusing on not turning the ball over so often, IW running the point with a good demeanor and having Gist off the ball taking quality shots.
Starting 5 - IW, Gist, Crawford, Agee, Ross.

Let's not forget Mo Thiam, who was playing better before his injury.
As a point of clarification, I am assuming when everyone says "starting 5" they mean the 5 guys who should play the most minutes and be on the floor down the stretch in games. I doubt anyone will question the 5 I88 listed above. But we still need some depth. We have several guys on the bench who have shown flashes during their careers--Perez, Mo, Van Eyck, Risto, and even Nik. They all should get a taste in all games--you never know when one of them will bring something special/different that we need in that particular day.
Tomorrow's an important game. Even last year's disaster was 5-6 in the league before turning on the jets. We can't look up and be 2-8 in the MAAC or I'll need to change my reservations.

Now CBS has it at Iona (-5.5). Surprising. We need to get this home win. There are only 3 out of 353 schools that don't have a home win. Some good company here. Mississippi Valley St., Marist and IONA.

I59 and others, if you're going to be online looking for odds for games, instead of going to a media site that doesn't have accurate info, at least go to somewhere like VegasInsider.com. The line on the game in most Vegas books right now is 4 after opening at 4.5.
