Glad this years finally over kind of. This team was so frustrating to watch. They didnt respect Arnold, especially EJ and Arnold was just way over his head, not to mention just not a good coach.

Arnold’s tech lost it for us! Never saw 1 team lose more close games. Another horrible maac ref night! Only consolation is not even sure they will finish the maac tourney and doubt ncaa tourney will even be played. That’s no consolation IMO. We lost and we didn’t deserve to win. SPU deserves to be here and I would hate to see them miss a chance to experience the NCAAs because we were undeserving.

Oh and although it was a 50 footer it goes as another buzzer beater miss 0-for I can’t even count that high in last 40 years!

Too bad that EJ went out this way. He deserved better.
Looking forward to Washington, Van Ecyk, Ross, and Gist playing together next season with good coaching.

Watched it on my iPhone as I’m at my daughters lacrosse game.
Just a horrible time to get outscored 14-4.
I said it all along. I hope and pray a poor decision at the end of a game by Arnold doesn’t cost us. Getting a technical in a nut cutter grinder is not acceptable. Well there you go. SMH

Fitting way to end awful year. Only concern for program is the status of Cluess. Will he or the college make a statement about whether or not he will return? Hopefully we hear soon. You'll definitely know when the team is introduced at next season's opener. Excuse me, make that you'll probably know.

Jelly makes some really bad decisions with the ball sometimes. If he could eliminate that, he could be really good. I guess having a head coach would help. Wait till next year.

Time to wish the Seniors get to finish their time at Iona on campus and have a Graduation Ceremony. Enjoy. Thank you for the memories and your efforts. Unfortunately the ball did not bounce the way we wished. Years ago I was told we are defined by not how handle success, but how we handle adversity. This has been a tough year for the program, but I am impressed how the staff and players had to adjust. Never easy and that fact needs to be recognized. Praying Coach Cluess is able and willing to resume his head coach position. Better days are ahead, just be patient. Go GAELS! Best wishes and good health.

Glad it’s over. Even with the nice 6 game stretch, this season was brutal.
Rough way for EJ to go out.
Good teams win close games and SPU keeps winning em and we keep losing em.
Now we just need 3-4 great recruits.

Just a throwaway season all around. Perfect storm of roster turnover, coaching turmoil, chemistry challenges and maybe a hint of overconfidence by the players.

Bottom line can't win playing 12 on 6. Credit to SPU, they have a better overall roster, too much depth and just ran to many athletic guys at Iona.
Crushed on the boards 45-31. Jellys TO up 54-51 with just over a minute left was a killer but zero excuse for Arnold to get a tech. Just horrible.
Iona needs to settle the Cluess health situation ASAP.

Hell of a run, but as I've said this became a throwaway season the moment the Cluess announcement was made. Hats off to EJ, Agee and the other seniors, now get your degrees and represent.
We're in for an interesting offseason. Normally it's a reload, but this is a rebuild, starting with the staff uncertainty. This needs to be sorted soon. Lots of teams figure to be good next year. Need strong moves now or we'll stay mid pack or worse.

What could have been if .. Tough way to go out. Just an all-around messed up season when so much was expected. I hope Coach Cluess is well and comes back. Mostly I hope he is well.
