Loser’s bracket, but good opponent.
Go Gaels!

True. Both good and "bad", if you will.

Interesting comment/scout on Long Beach State. Per Guy, Tobin made it clear he's not changing from his uptempo style and pressure D. Will be interesting to see how this plays out

Will be interesting to see how this plays out Is Tobin’s philosophy to play fast or in a half court offense? Thought the former and were just not executing, but could be wrong |

Long Beach state is a strange team. Losses to MM programs but wins over DePaul and a great win at Michigan.
They play an 8 man rotation. Play 2 6'10 guys significant minutes, amazing stat..in 5 games neither one has a block.
6'6 Traore has 13 blocks, so Iona should have more success than yesterday driving to the hoop. They shoot a poor 32% from 3.
LBS has a negative A/TO ratio, averaging 16 turnovers per game, while Iona only 9.
By kenpom this is a much tougher game than HP, bur if Iona can play solid pressure D, this is a very winnable game

Haven't watched them play, Guessing one is a back up. |
