Very gutsy team. Excellent last 8 minutes. Team needed this win. Hope they enjoy it tonight.
If we start hitting our shots at the rim (and we have huge room for improvement) things will be a lot easier.

Gaels committed 19 turnovers, BUT only 2 the last 10:41. Difference in the game while also pounding Vermont on the boards 45-21

Smart move by Tobin to go smaller the last 8 minutes or so. Kept Moundi out probably due to deficient foul shooting. Biggie and Rupert handled the boards.

You can curb the sarcasm Jim. No sarcasm, Tobin needed this win and so did the team. West Virginia is getting stomped by Pitt tonight. Lets build off this win tonight and carry it over to the WV game. I'm back on the Iona Train!! Go Gaels!! |

Gaels win the only way Iona wins close last minute games, by holding on to the lead, even though they did everything they could to blow it. But very Gutsy and much needed comeback win! Tobin needs to press with this team as much as possible. Barr made a difference as did sitting Moundi for quicker and better pressers. If Patterson can provide offense like he did in the second half this team has a chance.

Regardless of outcome, this team has no quit. Their play reminds me of those offensively challenged St Peters teams during the Cluess years that grind opponents into the ground. I'm not expecting any blowout wins from this group. On a side note, that tip play by Biggie off the inbound with 1 second on the shot clock may be the closest we'll ever get to a Joebird Special.

Thought the team looked excellent in the second half. We have three high level players in Patterson, Reeves and Njie once he gets some experience, and Barr seems to be an impact guy once the rust is off. Played with high intensity and great energy and shut down a very good Vermont team.

Remember last year when we were a mess, and then we hosted Colgate and they rolled? That's kind of what I'm hoping for here. At some point, things will click. I think the fan base needs to see that click on Friday. And they did! |
