Read the thread on this game on the UCONN board. Lots of rational and intelligent messages.
Very different from the St Johns board, for one comparison.

We should have an advantage with our guards and BJL. UConn will have advantage up front. Key will be Shema's ability to withstand stronger opponent and Nelly staying out of foul trouble. We can press this team effectively. Yeah, UConn has one of the highest turnover rates in the country. I expect the Gaels to press some, but also try to force turnovers in the half-court too. Might this be the game RP unleashes his vaunted matchup zone? (one of the two best matchup zones in the history of the college game) UConn's big front line might demand it. Iona's man-to-man is zone-ish, but it is man-to-man. We might need Silas some in this one. |

We’ll need surprisingly effective minutes from them. Have to find a way to keep UConn off the offensive boards. I’m hoping that angry Nelly makes an appearance; maybe he can channel what Ndefo used to bring out in him. The more I read and watch on UConn the tougher this matchup looks. If we can keep it close into the last few minutes we will have a significant coaching advantage in the end game. |

same here. I know they must be swamped but it is Tuesday afternoon. Does anyone have a sense as to whether season ticket holders ( and other Iona fans) will be able to get tickets from Iona Athletic Department? There are tickets available in the resale market but they are extremely expensive.

I asked last night and was told we should hear something this morning/today. Wondering if they are trying to put together a package with hotel for folks. Not sure.
