WE OFFICIALLY HIT ROCK BOTTOM. AGEE can’t make a dunk. Perez is scared to shoot EVER. Agree a 1000% Ben Perez isn’t a D1 player. I would schedule a team meeting Players only IMMEDIATELY w/o ARNOLD or any assistants players need to talk it out just them. A lot of college basketball teams do this PLAYERS ONLY when they’re struggling..Ricky Johns needs to get his ass out there & recruit some players that wanna play Defense. I don’t know why they didn’t go down low to Agee more he was doing well.

Gist is passionate about competing/winning and if he told Arnold to F off, Arnold needs to get tougher skin. 👍 No friggin way, if you coach a team and a player tells you to F off, that player sits his butt on the bench. You lose the team if you allow this. I was mostly being facetious

I was at the game, couple of thoughts, - Gist was chucking shots up galore in the first half. Not smart. - We don't have a good shooting team plain and simple. - A lot of scrums for loose balls, they seemed to go to Niagara every time and they converted everyone of them. -At one point, at the end of the first into the second half Niagara was 11-13 from three. -Appreciative of Coach Arnold filling in , will not criticize him. Like I said before, not everybody takes advantage of a golden opportunity. -Turn overs are an epidemic for us. Hat did you see any coaching/instruction being given at media/regular timeouts? Yes, The team huddles up, I was actually impressed by Coach Johns going out and instructing and giving advice/ pats on the back etc.

Yes Gist started second half and never got back in, maybe he told Arnold to F off again. Washington was good and bad but offense runs a lot better with him in, not starting him today and in second half is just stupid. Arnold’s substitutions make no sense on a regular basis. Guess can’t do it but I’d like to see one of the other coaches run the show. Can’t remember what St. Peter’s shot from 3 but I wouldn’t be surprised if for the year so far we are allowing 50% shooting from 3 at home. So many things wrong it’s hard to even post what’s wrong. Simply we need cluess back. Side note believe McNeil was in street clothes sitting behind the basket closest to the entrance. Maybe academically ineligible? Gist is passionate about competing/winning and if he told Arnold to F off, Arnold needs to get tougher skin. 👍 I don’t post here often. Long time lurker. But I had to sign in to let you know that you own the dumbest comment in the history of this forum. Good luck with the team you coach.

I’m in the camp if Gist was giving attitude, a benching for 4 or 5 minutes would be more appropriate . Do not agree he should have sat the entire second half, especially against the smaller Niagara lineup. It’s a message board and it’s fine to disagree. Cheers!

Iona allowing 38 out of 74 3 point shooting by opponents, at home.
An unheard of 51.3% through 3 games!

Just one substitution complaint. After the 12 seconds T/O, imo, we should have taken Washington (four fouls) and EJ (not quick enough) out and put in Cashaw, Van Eyck or Gist to give a foul. Shows me that the staff wasn't thinking. Assuming we gave the foul, then bring Jelly and EJ back in. Not very complicated.

The general consensus seems to be that we should have won the game because we have more talent than Niagara. On paper I agree but what’s to talent if it doesn’t play to its potential? We have some talented players but we don’t have a talented team. The team consists of players and coaches working together. This group works against themselves way to often to be any good.

Went from negative to positive to negative all over again. Sad. True. We probably played better today, than we did against Rider. The Rider game was a debacle by both teams, Rider played a little bit worse than we did.
