NBC Sports Channel (44 on TWC). Should be an interesting game.

I'll be surprised if Flyers dont run Iona out of Gym

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully Iona doesn't get killed.

Wow Iona plays no defense no wonder Bonnies beat the crap out of them

Funny thing about the UD Arena...everytime I see it I think of Ronald Moore's daggers against Ohio State and Iona's meltdown a couple of years ago against BYU.

Tough game for the gals- Dayton too much talent-- Iona has some nice talent-- but zero discipline

Dayton was in the Top 25 earlier in the year. A 12 point loss on their court isn't horrible. A lot better than a home beating by St Bonnie for Iona, anyways.

Agreed-- the final margin a 12 point beat down isn't bad, but it isn't indicative of type game it was. Dayton was in total control, entire game. I was impressed by Iona's offense, they have a lot of options on offensive side of the ball-they will simply out score a lot of MAAC level teams. Gals sometimes just go thru the motions on defense-- and it shows against better teams-- also agree the home loss to Bonnies was bad for Iona-- but keep in mind ST Bonaventure basically turned it into a neutral court game --according to some reports Bonnie fans actually outnumbered Iona fans. On a brighter note for Iona fans- Cluless teams win every year but they seldom ( maybe never) have beaten a more talented team because of their defense ( or lack thereof) so Cluess could be at Iona a long time. His teams are fun to watch, they can really get up and down the court and score. A fun style, players like it, fans like it.. and given Iona's location close to city always will be transfers willing to go to a low budget low major like Iona
