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. Who knows, they need to do something because they can’t shoot. But no! No creativity or guts, keep playing the same and this team will finish 5-15 in the Maac. Ok I apologize, gutsy half. Nice to see guts, definitely not quitting on the season tonight. That being said Quinny is playing awful but our d has a little to do with it.

Hate to be a spoilsport, but Agee finished the half with zero fouls. When that happens it seems to make him over aggressive and he picks up a couple of early fouls. For TA the first five minutes of the second half are the key. And Quinny will probably heat up from deep. No denying our rebounding and hustle on defense.

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

We are just a terrible second half team! Wrong again, at least not tonight. Win Sunday and we have 2 home games. Get to .500 and go from there. I posted earlier in the year a quote from Shawshank Redemption, “ Hope is a Good Thing!” 3 hours ago I had none, a small light is shining again!

I have gone on record on the MAAC board as predicting an Iona victory tonight, straight up. Just a feeling, no basis for it. Huh.

Great effort tonight. Played with a sense of urgency and shared the ball. Good for the guys

Smartest played game this year! Great composure and confidence. Players all trusted each other and shared the ball. Tra had a great game plan and when he went to slow down with the lead, the players executed!

Defended and won. Now, gotta bring the D Sunday too. One game at a time, as the cliche goes.

In regards to this game: be happy, be impreessed, be proud. But please do not be excited. It's 1 game. Show me that effort Sunday.

Great effort, smart basketball, good shooting, and probably the best boxing out/rebounding I have see from an Iona team in the last few seasons. Did I mention good defense too?
Very well done. Excellent game!

Total domination! All 5 starters in double figures. This is what I thought we’d see to start the season. This is what the team is capable of. Can we please see some more?

Best game of the season. Slightly tops effort against Rider.
If we can get this effort from Dutch and Ross every game with Nik helping on the boards, we have a chance to improve greatly.
Consistent effort from Agee, EJ and Jelly. Now we need to get Gist back. Can you imagine if Perez and Risto ever located their 3 point stroke.
Expectations tempered. Let’s see what the Fairfield game looks like.
Game ball to Dutch!
