The Draddy game is back after a one year hiatus. Should be a great atmosphere, and there is a lot on the line for both teams!
Will be a fun night for local college hoops.

I think it's a good time for this game. A meaningful rivalry matchup should hopefully get the kids pretty focused on this game. Masiello always finds a way to play Iona tough.

Wild guess.......Iona 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 point favorite.....We will need a little more scoring punch from bench...To guide this team back from a horrible start to a possible conference leader is deserving of sky high praise especially in the calm and cool manner it was performed...Bravo Cluess!!!!!!!!!!!!OT

One thing I'm pretty sure of is that Manhattan will foul, and foul often. SM feels, correctly, that the refs won't call all of them. And in order to even things out, will make some questionable calls against Iona. With that in mind, I'm expecting at least one Gael to get in foul trouble. Nik will probably be out, so it's time for Maxwell to step up. I think we'll need him, tonight.

Realistic goal is to win 2 of these last 3 games, to get you to 11-7--same as I said like 2 weeks ago. 11-7 gets you out of the PIG and gets you in the running for a top 3 spot IMO. But they all have their challenges--Manhattan is a huge rivalry game, Canisius will be fighting to not get swept and they are better on the road than at home, and Rider has the best home record in the MAAC.
If we win all 3, we'll probably finish no worse than second, and we may as well pack our bags for Dayton.
If we only win 1 of 3 or worse, we'll likely be in the PIG, and honestly I wouldn't hold out much hope for anything.

Mathematically there might be some insane tiebreaker scenario that would place us in 2nd against QU but I’m pretty we are comfortable as the 1 seed if we win out. Just win baby!

Scary game 1- No Nic 2-Bench of Maxwell Risto and Hudson,no scoring here 3-Manhattan physical,we can’t afford ANY foul trouble and we won’t be getting a lot of calls on the road 4- Manhattans big game of year,they should have a good crowd Very winnable game but we have to be ready from opening tip and not fall behind,Go Gaels!!!!!

Hopefully the feed isnt crappy on the jaspers web feed site. Been awhile since an Iona game wasnt on espn app. I am shocked that the game isnt on any of the ESPN's. Literally every other college basketball game on tonight is available on some sort of TV outlet. I am unfamiliar with trying to watch the game through the jaspers web feed site. Can you provide a link?
