I'll make the obvious point that there's wins available in MAAC tournament. But Iona is firing on all cylinders right now compared to earlier in the year. Yes FT shooting still is bad and that really worries me in a close 1 and done game, but look at that start from yesterday. That buries most teams, especially Iona earlier this year. I have been very critical of some older guys here when it looked like there was an effort issue (and there was again at the beginning of this game. Lot of standing around). But they have seemed to snap out of that and finally bought into Tobin's system. Tobin coached a great game but 1 thing I still don't get a bit is why are you pressing with a 2 possession lead late in the game? You allow odd numbers going to other way if you get beat which leads to open shots. I did notice a couple of possessions that they didn't press but then went back to it. Idk just something that makes me scratch my head a bit. Because, statistically, the thing we do best on D is force turnovers. Yeah I obviously agree with that. But certain situations don't seem to call for it. Half court defense is good too so doesn't seem like the risk makes sense late and up 5-6.

I think it has gotten better and will continue to get better, but we are definitely back in the mode where we need to be up around 80 points a game to win. Can we do that?

Looks like it will probably be Iona -10.5. I don’t bet against Iona but this looks like a good bet against us. I expect a fairly close game.

Let’s get to 6-4! Niagara, Marist & QU losses we could easily be best team in the league. Late game play/management needs to get better!

My guess is Tretout plays today if he was a game time decision 2 days ago. Will have 3 days off after today.
I do love that Williams is getting more time though. If he gets it going he's a HUGE piece to this team IMO. Have only seen glimpses so far.

Also, thought that someone posted that he was doubtful for today. Fingers crossed.
