I've never been happier to be so far off on a prediction. Too soon to say for sure but maybe Iona has turned a corner. Fingers crossed. I also had Fairfield winning a tight game. Tickled pink to be wrong!

Third game I’ve been to, exhibition, Quinny, today. Gaëls 3-0 and blowouts. Again, don’t know what you guys have been bitching about. Haven’t seen any other games.

On Friday night I was at an annual black tie dinner in D.C. One of my former law partners asked me why I kept looking at my phone. I was following the Gaels at Quinny. I was so happy to see that they won that I stayed up until 2:00am watching the replay when I got home. I was amazed by what I saw of this team.
Just like the rest of the board I was interested in seeing whether the Gaels could carry over their much improved play and win a Sunday afternoon game. They played even better today. Yeah, they bent a bit and let Fairfield get within 4. But the team battled back to a 9 and then a 15 point lead within minutes. I have been a Crawford fan for a long time. What I found interesting today was how the team increased a lead while E.J. was getting a well-deserved rest. E.J. was a machine today. IW is showing just how very good he is and Ross had a great day from behind the arc. In fact the entire team played well today.
I do not know what has happened but there is certainly new life in this team. I am very proud of the team and coaching staff. There is a long way to go, but I still think we will stay out of the PIG and we have as good a chance as anyone of winning the MAAC tourney. E.J. Crawford deserves to be on team that won the title in all 4 years he played. ala Rickey McGill.
It’s ok with me if the rest of the MAAC underestimates us. As long as our guys remember that we are the 4 time straight defending MAAC champions, we will be just fine.
One game at a time, boys.
Go Gaels!!!

Complete opposite of what we just played, as Fairfield generally defends well but sucks offensively. Just bring the defense. The rest will fall into place. Defense dominant. Triggering the offense. Energy level through the roof.

We insist that you go to every remaining game. No excuses! Maybe the team and Arnold are finally figuring things out. They sure played that way. Ross and Van E stepping up their play makes a huge difference.

Team finally looking like the group that we were waiting for all season long. Hopefully we can keep this going!
