*The four big players from Iona*
Washington, their most valuable big, can get into foul trouble. But, he can go off if not guarded.
AJ English has been "relatively" quiet recently- only one twenty point outburst in the last four games. He's been the point guard since Casimir went down and racking up the assists.
Much can shoot lights out from 3- nearly 50% this season.
Williams can be decent or great. -----------------------------------
As a team, they ranked 16th in assists.
Can the Saints limit the blasted turnovers? If they can, should be close. If not, we'll see something like we saw when we played Monmouth the first time.
Iona is playing better defense since they played Manhattan the first time. Not the typical run and gun style.
Please, Lavon, follow the puppy monkey baby, and get ready for this game.

Don’t like our chances in this game- Jimmy and team has generally not been good on 1 day turn around. Gals have been playing better of late, Iona wanted this game on Saturday afternoon to get big crowd, place will be packed. Hope I’m wrong but I see us losing maybe losing big

Time to put up and stop the excuses. This team either puts is all on the line against them or they don't it's up to them. I expect a tight loss, but can't accept sleepwalking because its Saturday afternoon and we played on Thursday.

I agree if you are a competitor you get yourself ready to play. It's Iona and they should be so focused the only thing that can get them is being too excited

Time to step up on a road game!!! I think Siena is a better team but they seem to play scared on the road-Go Saints!!!

I'm with you CR. It's time we did the upsetting for a change. If we want to be a factor in the tournament, we have to get inside their heads (Iona and Monmouth). Today we have the opportunity. Let's go SAINTS!!!

Win or lose, we're one game closer to Marquis Wright.

Let's go SAINTS!!! Not sure it's an upset if we win. 2 vs 3 in the conference and we haven't played yet. Today is the day we find out which team is better

Win or lose, we're one game closer to Marquis Wright. Guess we're looking at the Rider game on Friday for his return, no? I would expect he does not start but gets to come off the bench. Maybe he and Nico as the first 2 together. Not a bad first 2. Also, hope he doesn't get too many mins that game. Ease him in.

I just hope he gets back to some semblance of his old self by tourney time.

Iona pressure on our thin back court wil be the key. How well we handle pressure and not turn it over dictates how we do...
