Are things going Iona's way? Consider: 1. We play Manhattan and Beamon and Brown play but are not 100%. 2. We play "Q" and Dramae doesn't play. 3. We play Niagara and no Jordan. 4. We play Canisius and no Manhertz.

And by the way, our entire plan for the season has gone out the window with the the injuries to Shack, Robinson & Hines. Laury has none of the help (Well, IW has actually been a big help) the coaches and all of us thought he would have. Coaches adjusted and we won. If we end up playing them again and those guys are on the court, fine. Coaching staff will adjust again!

We have dealt with our misfortune and the team has improved and matured as a result.

We play Canisius and no Manhertz. My point was, we can expect a tougher game the next time we face any of these teams. Their injured or absent players will be back. Our injured kids (Robinson, Hynes and Scott) will not. No doubt the coaching staff will do their best to prepare our starters and Laury to play many minutes per game. My worry is that potential foul trouble can cause us difficulties given our limited bench and winning three games in three nights during the tournament is a lot to expect from a team that is realistically 7-8 deep.

Even if you go 12 deep, you're shortening your bench with the season on the line. You want your best horses in the race when the money is on the table.
