Is Sacred Heart a weak team? Never thought much of the program but have never really followed much either. Would have been a bad loss I'm sure.... Picked first in the NEC. Definitely not a bad team. |

I’ll wait for guy to post presser. Kraetzer has it on you tube, be sure to watch, you see what a great basketball mind Tobin is. And he is so likeable! Interesting comments on Oz at the end, seems like a special player!

Great turnout and atmosphere at the HAC. Now let’s guard the baseline. With the exception of the final 2:00, the crowd appeared cerebral, as if watching a tennis match or a Shakespeare reading. The cheerleaders under each basket were enthused but that seemed to be the only excitement the television view offered. The crowd was cerebral. That's the price we pay because of our recent academic rankings. Got to get the students out of the library. |

With 9 minutes left down 8 I asked Joebird if this was buy game to which he acknowledged, it was. The next thought was how excruciating it must be to write that check after losing. Ledgelife avoided. Adewale does so many good things that don't appear in the box score. Quigley doesn't play like a freshman. Thank God for senior guards. Great atmosphere at the HAC, the joint was electric. Congrats to Tobin on his first win as a Gael. May there be many more. Go Gaels! Adewale does so many good things-I assume you are referring to him helping an old man (me) cross North Ave. the other day. |

Nobody mentioned our ex players came and brought their teammates, a little weird since there were no ex teammates to watch I found this weird also. Made the choice to leave. No need to come back Why is this weird? I think it's great that they thought enough of their one-year experience at Iona to give up a Friday evening for a revisit. Welcome back boys. (Cruz, I think you could really excel in this system.) Sorry, drifted off there for a moment. What happened to "Once a Gael, always a Gael". I think they went back to Jamaica with a message to Coach P. "Hey, this new staff at Iona can really develop players. Coach, their freshmen were on the floor in the final minutes of the come-back. And Coach, they got rid of your doghouse!" |

No thread for it yet, but High Point plays at noon today at Wofford in their first real game, on ESPN+.

Who did they come see? They didn't talk to any players after the game, maybe FURP told them to come,would you put it past him? I'm sure this is what Soriano wanted to do on a Friday night |

Tidbits (in no particular order):
* C of C is probably considered a better team than SHU, but I think SHU played better against us. I thought that we would have an edge since TA coached at least two games against the Pioneers, last season. But I forgot that meant that the SHU coached against TA, also. Had a great game plan in attacking our press. Their ball movement was also VG.
* Of the players that played, only two, Bates and Brice have yet to score.
* Think that there was something wrong with GG. I know he was in foul trouble, but was taken out of the game, in the early minutes, and it had nothing to do with foul trouble. We are a much better team with GG on the court.
* Waiting on seeing Rodrigo Farias on the court.
* In the first half I thought that TA was too laid back, and was concerned. He erased my concerns in the second half as he was very vocal, but since my seats are so far away from the Iona bench, I couldn't tell whether he was yelling at the players or the refs.
* As far as the OOC is concerned, I don't see any/many games that I can put in the win column.
* Our 3pt shooting improved from 25% to 50%.
* Quigley has been a pleasant early surprise. Has to get a lot stronger, but he gives a PG for the future.
* Adewale is living up to my nick name for him, "The Sultan of Swat" with three blocks in each game. Reference his bad FT miss, If Bob Uecker was doing the play by play, it would have sounded like, "Just a little outside".
* Know it's early, but my names for the team:
Offense-Great Expectations
Defense-Junk Yard Dogs
Free Throws-The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight
* Dylan Saunders showed two things in his four minutes of PT. Good on offense, bad on defense. Will get better with more PT, imo.
* I'll conclude with, nothing is certain, everything is possible.

Interesting comments on Oz at the end, seems like a special player! Tobin is a basketball savant. He’s one of the few that I can honestly say I learn something from every time I’m in a presser with him. |
