Ken Pomeroy projects Iona winning 70-65 with our Crusaders given a 32% chance to win. He has Iona as #89 in Offensive Efficiency and #193 on defense. Iona commits very few turnovers (#38 in D-1) but does not often get to the FT line (#342). Iona is a great FT shooting team (#22 at 77.3%).

Let's hope our guys are physically rested and mentally sharp after finals. This will be a big challenge but the type of game that if we win should be a cause for optimism going forward. Maybe the Gaels will be looking past us for their game against URI on Thursday?

"not as athletic"...bulletin board material. Plus, unlike Iona, each of the HC Players has only played at one college thus far for their college career.

Just realized I attended HC/Iona in February of 1986 in the MAC tourney in the meadowlands. No memory other than this was he first time I had heard about HC.

I think he meant not as athletic as the St. John's team Iona just played. It is hard to argue that as a team we are as athletic as this year's St. John's players.

This is the type of team BC's style is well suited for, I think HC will do well tonight if they can defend the 3.

I guess our guys may just be "deceptively" athletic.....maybe we have higher basketball IQs....not sure if any other stereotypes are relevant here.😀

Iona averages 11 PPG on free throws to 9 for HC. This has been a huge problem for us all season as we have a deficit of 5 PPG from the free throw line. I'd sure like to see this end up on the plus side for us today.

Iona getting wide open 3s, as the HC defense is running all over the place chasing down ball movement and flying by guys on closeouts.
Jared Curry all over the HC rotations and lack of focus on rebounding. Would love to see him put on a uniform and get out on the court.
