“Everyone’s counting us out, social media, they’re talking all this crap about us, and we’re gonna use that as motivation,” Crawford said. “We see it all, what people have to say, but it’s about everyone on this team. Let’s do it for the seniors and coach Cluess. “It’s time to take over. It’s March.”

Cluess. Won't go into specifics here, but there's always the random chance he just shows up. Very very unlikely, yes. Maybe 1000-1 odds this happens. But just imagine what happens if he's there--if OUR guys see this, the other teams and coaches see this, if WE as fans see this. No, he's not a miracle worker and he won't fix the flaws. I am speaking strictly from a psychological standpoint when I say that his presence could mean a whole lot. But I reiterate--the odds of this are probably on lottery-winning levels. Just thought I'd throw it out there as a what the hell, as we don't know what the future's going to hold for this program beyond this week. . Bumping up Guy’s post, this would be truly amazing and could become the college basketball story of the year. Unfortunately Corona virus may have ended any infinitesimal chance we had, but it’s nice to dream.

Whatever happens in AC this week, I'm very grateful to have had the good fortune to watch EJ for four years and the other seniors for the time they were at Iona. This wasn't the year we had hoped for. But no one could foresee TC's medical issues and the various team injuries. Go Gaels!

So reading the tweet Guy posted, Ensor moved the tournament to AC, to attract the legal gambling crowd, how does that work if you legally can't bet the games? He needs to be fired, and all the AD's who voted yes to the tournament move and to give this moron a new contract should be fired.

Iona -3.5 O/U 144.5
For those at the game, can you please post the anticipated tip off time. Typically there are delays with a string of prior games.

If the game before ours (Manhattan-FF) starts about 5PM. I'd assume ours would start closer to 7:30 than 7:00. At the earliest about 7:15. Gotta hope for no OT.

Sharkey beat me to IVY announcement. I guess Yale is pretty happy!
The presidents are as dumb as Ensor. I think Ensor was financially rewarded for this deal, in the long run this is a disaster for the MAAC despite more up front money. And the reasoning behind gambling is dumb in many ways, not just not being able to gamble events in NJ but also moving the game to 4 on Saturday against the majors and on just ESPNU, far less people will gamble because they aren't going to watch, so much much less eye balls on the Maac and its brand.

Hoping we all realize that when the final attendance figures are released, the poor turnout will be attributed to the Coronavirus threat and not a poor site selection! Ensor will be off the hook one more time lol
