Don't stress, boys. Iona's RPI actually IMPROVED with the loss--and we still have 2 wins over top 30 teams (and we are also top 30). The MAAC is ranked 15th, and RealTimeRPI still picks us to go 25-4--and that doesn't include the high-profile bracketbuster we'll host.

Some guys with top 25 talk etc. Too much hype. Very good team and best in MAAC. There are weaknesses; (not real strong at rebounding, when 3's are off, etc.), but it is a strong team. Probably top 35-40.

Wheels came off in 2nd half. Again, I think that the coaches will get the guys to learn from this and regroup. I tend to agree that we were all floating on cloud 9 and this just brings the expectations back to a more reasonable level. This is just a bump in the road. This is a VG Marshall team and they showed it. This was a reminder that nothing is a given. We control our own destiny and need to just take care of business.

OT's post above was more insightful than any from "the authority". ;-)

Good to have you back. And you are right, if you can't say anything positive about the game, don't say anything!

Love OT's post. Like modern art, it is what it means to you. Looking at it, I see man's isolation in a hostile universe.
