Once these next 2 games are over I will be intrigued how Iona start playing vs the MAAC. Its depressing how 3s just dont fall for this team in non-conf play.. if I had to guess they are shooting around 25% this season so far. Just not going to cut it.

First half terrific. Both Agee and Crawford were great. Half court offense and defense was solid. First 11 mins of second half looked like Wed night, open gym at the recreation center. Shirts and skins and players who just met each other for the first time. Woke up a bit around the 9 minute mark but by then U Conn was in the clear. Hope we are competitive against Princeton and Coach Cluess returns soon.

Get to work in practice on 3 point shooting..... Assistant coach seemed to be more comfortable. Maac will be easier.....

UConn just too big, too strong, too talented and too deep. That said our two best players held their own and should be dominant in league play. The rest are good enough to hold their own. I’m just concerned that without Cluess the Team might not play up to the best of their ability when it counts. I hope I’m wrong and I hope TC gets well and gets back to doing what he loves.

Our best 2 players were the only ones to score in the first 12 minutes Rest of team played hard?, but there is a reason they are in the maac Just one complaint, why bring in IW if gist is the PG?

Any mention of Ben Perez? He was on the bench, but looked like he wasn’t dressed to play, maybe sick or hurt.

Definitely need to decide if Washington or Gist is the point guard. Both want to be the scoring point guard. This is a coaching issue. Coach Cluess is ill. Coach Arnold has a difficult situation.

Thought I heard Perez had minor injury.
Not worried about Jelly vs Gist handling. McGill didnt handle every possession the past few years.
All in all it wasn't a bad effort. If we make 3s like we're used to that's a much closer game. We were still down only 10 with 5 to play. The D was really solid after the horrific start.
Need to beat Princeton. Colorado is a throwaway game.

Encouraging tidbit: in postgame presser Arnold said Cluess will be back soon.
