Penn State looked impressive in beating A&M. Pickett taking off now that he's not saddled by Carm! |

Unreal! I doubt Sharkey or 86 will gloat. I think both touted him on this board and have the right to gloat. |

Not to diminish what FDU did, but Purdue was flawed... should not have been a 1 seed.

Sitting here watching Princeton beat the crap out of mizzou thinking Iona beat a sweet 16 team this year and an elite 8 team twice last year. March really is all about who you draw and we constantly get screwed lol.

Yep multiple upsets this year, all were favorable matchups, so please show your brackets
Favorable matchups are made when you play.
Fdu center is 6 6, please stop with Purdue wasn't that good.

Agreed. Are we really making up excuses because we didn’t get a good draw. If we would have drawn Purdue we would all be complaining about how it is an impossible matchup for us, their size is too much to handle, they are the B1G champions and they beat Gonzaga, Marquette, etc. FDU beat #1 seed Purdue with a 6’6 center on one day’s rest. Ditto for Princeton who had to travel cross country and beat Arizona who was a loaded 2 seed and #4 in the country at one point. These teams also don’t have a HOFer as their coach. |

I don’t want to defend Pitino right now, but honestly I think this was the worst matchup we could have got. Think we beat Purdue and Arizona. Think we would have beat several of the best seeds. That being said I think Pitino got badly out coached by Hurley. Love Pitino to stay but also sick of this crap and if he goes he goes, and I will hope he disappoints at st. Chicken! I actually think they can do better at head coach, they would be better off with Tobin Anderson in the long run. They are overating Pitino, he was a great hire for Iona, st. Chicken can do better. He’s going to be 71 and is very stubborn and neither his age or his stubbornness will improve! |

I switched to FDU game right after Iona loss to UCONN for no other reason than to get my mind off the loss. I knew nothing about FDU or Anderson. My first reaction was "Holy Shit" this guy's energy is off the charts (in game interview). To be honest, I thought he was a little nuts; which is the reason for the above post as much was my interest in the game. He and his team grabbed me right away. Despite the many basketball viewing options, I hung with them the entire game. They had a plan; his team executed the plan. I had no idea I was looking at the next Iona basketball coach.  |
