Awesome! Congrats to the players and coaches.
This was a hard fought game that will ultimately help with the maturation of the entire team, including the coaches.
Huge game by Glove and Armand is making the most the extra minutes; he has one of the prettiest shots I've ever seen.
Also, maybe something that has gone unnoticed but the last few games Randy is playing with a lot more confidence - this bodes very well for next year when Coach begins to ask more of him.

I listened to our own audio for most of the game but tumed into the ESTU stream here and there. I must say their stream was very balanced a vg job. And ETSU's coach was total class in his post game interview. ETSU has won my repect.

No question in my mind Iona is the best team in the country that didn't get an invite to NCAA or NIT, I think Vegas would agree. Also think there were only about 10 teams in the NIT that were better.
I think a CIT championship would be better than a first round NIT loss, but anything less is just not as good.
Iona should have fouled in last 4 seconds but luckily it didn't matter. Glover monster game. Wonder how many assists Machado needs Wednesday to end up #1 in country?
Think you may hear Cluess on Fatsessa show on Wednesday.
Big opportunity for Iona to get some local attention, I think this being home may get some decent coverage.

I agree, I hope student development does everything possible to get the student side of Hynes filled to the rafters. This team may cause us all to lose some hair (ooops); but, they are a team of guts - players and coaches alike. To be able to come back, after having given up a huge lead and then hold on for the win in that atmosphere on the road against a very good team speaks volumes! And while were mentioning the maturation of Randy and Sean, how about Trinity sticking 2 free throws with 5 seconds left to seal the deal? As to Sean's shot - it reminds me so much of a Ray Allen shot - absolutely sweet!

I hope Cluess tells Fatso Iona is not some stopping off point.

In my 30 plus years of rooting for Iona, this is a top 5 moment. Yes I know CIT, nobody cares etc, but this team is special and we should enjoy their accomplishments. Wednesday we will be one of 12 teams still playing basketball. I for one will enjoy every minute that night. Thanks to the players and coaches for making this a special year, and thanks to the administration for paying to play at home. Now we need to finish the job, and bring home our first championship!

out all afternoon and missed the game. Any chance that there is a rebroadcast? Me too. Holy smokes, I wasn't able to watch/listen... sounds like I missed seeing one of our best. Seeing we won is incredibly great news! Let's finish the job!

This may sound stupid to someone who looks at the stats and sees that 53 of our 83 points were scored by 2 players (thank you to Mike and Sean); however, if you ever wanted to see a total team victory, it was today - everyone contributed! The perfect ending to such a team victory was having Trinity Fields, who had only 19 FT attempts on the year, go to the stripe with 5 seconds left and nail 2! This team doesn't know how to quit! LET'S DO IT WEDNESDAY AND LET RAH AND ALEJO GO OUT AS CHAMPIONS!

I was very impressed with these guys today. After going up 14-0 and then getting outscored 26-4 and going into the half down 6, the Gaels had no quit. It was an exciting game and a wierd game at times -- I still don't know what the ref was doing taling to ETSU coach while rubbing the ball in the 2nd half. We had a bad turnover right after that. Then the totally BS call on Scott for an offensive foul when I thought the game was sealed.
Anyway, I am mighty proud of how Iona gutted it out and got the win against a very good ETSU team.
I am truly upset that Fox Sports is not carried on my cable station. I guess I will not be watching on Wednesday night unless SID can pull a rabbit out of the hat. Gary was actulally ahead of the video this afternoon, for the first time I can remember.
I hope the "W" has lifted OT's spirits.
Go Gaels!!!
