Hey Gaels - Santa Clara alumn here. Hope you don't mind me starting a thread on your message board. First & foremost, congrats on a great season. Can't believe that Iona didn't at least get an NIT bid?! MAAC seems to be perpetually underrated. Much better conference year in and year out than the casual college hoops fan realizes.
Nice game today vs ETSU. Saw the first 5-6 minutes of the 1st half and saw the last 15 minutes or so of the 2nd half. The Gaels showed good poise after letting ETSU back in. Nice finish.
Can't put my finger on it, but it just seems that you guys possess some match up problems for SCU. Glover is Glover. You know he is going to kill you. Unfortunately for the Broncos, you've got other weapons and guys that appear to be playing well and complimenting each other. If Armand shoots 3's like he did today, that's going to make it tough for us on road at Hynes.
I imagine that if even this game were played at a neutral site, Iona is favored by 3-6 pts. That being said, Santa Clara has plenty of explosive capability in them. If neither team comes out flat, it should be a fun, close game.
Glover vs Payne will be a game within a game. Troy Payne is truly a top college defender. (WCC defensive player of the year) The Broncos play almost exclusively man defense. These guys will be fun to watch.
Hope I can get my cable package expanded in time. Hopefully the fire marshal will look the other way & you guys will stuff the house and it will be a loud and intense environment.
Go Broncos!
PS - Great message board you've got. Ton of activity.
