I have gone on record on the MAAC board as predicting an Iona victory tonight, straight up. Just a feeling, no basis for it. If they dont give up an open three that gets drained on the first shot of the game.. that would be a good start!

Arnold and Iona have been usually better in the Friday game, the quick turnaround Sunday Iona is yet to win. We really miss Cluess in the Sunday game, he would sometimes win these games on his own. That’s why I think we have a better shot tonight than Sunday, despite the opponent tonight being better. Though I don’t think we will win.
Similarly Iona has been a better first half team than a second half, again I think Arnold’s lack of experience has hurt us in halftime adjustments.

Van Eyk starting with Ross, IW, Crawford and Agee. I think this is a good idea to give Van Eyk another chance at starting. He hustles, has length, is athletic and is one of the few Iona players with upside. I would love to see them come out pressing with this lineup. I hope that is the plan, they need to do something different with no Gist

Joebird, any chance conditioning would lead to 2nd half meltdowns and poor play on shorter rest? I don't really remember that ever being an issue with this team. It could be one explanation. Personally I think they just don't play as a unit.

No creativity or guts, keep playing the same and this team will finish 5-15 in the Maac.

Quinny’s announcers are terrible.

So far so good. Nice D, rebounding and even boxing out.

I retired from chatzy because seems like someone is always ahead of me on telecast and I know what happens before it happens.
