Great win! Now let’s blow the doors off of the Foxes!

The boxscore I read may have been inaccurate. If it wasn't, that was great productivity from Agee in only 22 minutes. Still more games to be played (hopefully many more) but this Drive for Five seems very much alive. Go Gaels!!

The team has flipped the switch, just like last year but this year more extreme, we were so bad, and doing this all without Cluess. Gaels now share the ball, no more excessive dribbling, and this team plays defense. Time to compliment Arnold, but I want to focus on one moment in the second half when Manhattan was trying to make a run and was getting every rebound and loose ball. At the next timeout Arnold got in every player who had been on the floors face and screamed at them "Rebound!" It seemed to work as they did just that after the break. And speaking of rebounding have to love Van Eyk tonight. Also Washington is doing a great job of keeping the team under control, Agee playing with fire and smarter, Crawford playing like a senior on a mission and Ross has seemed to make a big difference on both sides of the ball as the starting off guard. One game at a time, but if I see another effort like this Sunday I am going with the thinking that we are indeed back! Your observations are exactly what I saw tonight. Kind of what we’ve been seeing since last weekend...

Slice got emotional on air when they were talking about Gene Roberti.

Iona has given up just slightly over 54 points a game the last 3 games. Likely haven’t been within 10 points of that mark in any 3 game stretch in the last decade.

So he decides when he will retire as MAAC Commissioner? Wish I had had a job like that. Must be a strong union 😜

That’s a strategic plan I can get behind.

That is a good thing. But having Ctbill at a game is even better. We need a plan to ensure his attendance at every remaining game. Including road games. No excuses. Good night for me and my Gael brothers. Had a Guiness and some wings pre-game at the Beechmont, got a t shirt, sat right in front of a smokin hot blonde milf during the game. 4-0. All blowouts.

Masiello just signed 3 year extension. No better time to roll them! Huh.

Some thoughts 1-Rotation seems set,you can’t be afraid to miss a shot and be looking over your back 2-Our best 5 are getting all the minutes except for foul issues 3-IW,Dylan,Ross AND Arnold all figuring out their roles,sometimes in a new program it takes a half year to get there. 4-EJ playing possessed,great energy and really good overall game,he is letting the game come to him 5-Dylan back to back double digit rebound games,getting better and better with gaining confidence 6-Ross showing why we recruited him,we need to get him more shots 7-20 assists and 8 turnovers,this is Iona basketball 8-Great energy defensively,complete turnaround the last 3 games 9-IW totally under control,another solid game!!
We have 7 league games left,I would imagine the league is taking notice,in a wide open league winning 3 in a row by 20+ doesn’t happen often,I think our better days are ahead,winning is contagious and fun and this team sees that a great opportunity lies ahead,EJ and TA seem focused on ending their careers on a positive note,let’s all enjoy this and give Marist a payback,their kids did a lot of taunting in their blowout win,our press the last 5 minutes of that game worked well,let’s go out and steamroll them.

Biggest take away for me - Arnold’s game plan. Exceptional. Out-maneuvered Mas. Gotta love it.
EJ looks like the hungry senior we expected. Dominant.

Believe that 12-8 will be the winning ticket in the MAAC. I think we will get to 11-9. Huge swing coming up with three road games in Albany and Buffalo with a home game against Rider wedged in between. But first there’s a payback game against the Foxes, can’t overlook them. Hope we don’t show any mercy on them.
