Only excuse is tired legs same thing happened to FF in the first game. Yes you should reward 1 + 2 but you still need to make the games competitive. Siena did themselves in though, tired not really an excuse, turnovers, missed FT.

Well, no more AJ English, Ibn Muhammad, and Isiah Williams next year. JO had a bad time at the line- ugh.
We have a lot of good parts coming back next year, but we'll have postseason this year. That's a positive.
This year's freshmen, I feel, will grow a lot next year. That will make us very dangerous next year.
I am happy we got some good recruits for next year plus the Flying Dutchman will be back.
I'm rooting for Monmouth tomorrow night. Go Hawks.
Postseason TBA. Vegas?

Rough game. Marquis clearly still rusty. At least we're finally done seeing English and Williams

This ones hardly on the officials. We had our opportunities but couldn't take advantage. Iona deserved to win

Iona is better than the Saints at this point, and that becomes magnified by a number of factors, one of which is that quick turnaround. That can't be disputed.
The answer is to get better and get the 1 or 2 seed next year.
Now we wait to see which lesser tourney we get to play in.

Rough game. Marquis clearly still rusty. At least we're finally done seeing English and Williams And Rountree. He is a huge part of their resurgent defense. He had 6pts, 6 boards, 5 assists, 4 blks, 1 steal... He's just all kinds of active and it screws teams up. I still think he's the real DPOY. I can deal with the offensive juggernaut Iona who can't play D and chokes. I can't deal with the one who does that AND defends. I will not miss playing against those three. Even Muhammad is a solid little player. They have some good wings coming in. Their frontcourt looks beatable if it's anchored by JW, Bessick, and Hines. Casimir may still miss half the year and perhaps PG play drops a notch or 2 for them. But Iona reloads. They always do. You never know what their roster will look like until Sept. Hopefully, we can look forward to them being more beatable next year and us being better.

What are the chances we can get both November Wright and February BB/JO/Nico/etc next year?

Supposedly NCAA is making it more difficult for transfers. Thinking about it how is it 2-3 schools always dominate sports at this level. Even Marist women have taken a step back, some here have been complaining for a while regarding player issues. Not blaming the kids either.

This may not mean much to a Cluess coached team but the Iona seniors' assist ratio this year (English, IW, AR, KA, IM) was monster and will have to be replaced:
Going into tonight's game that was 382 assists vs. 215 turnovers...1.78 ratio.
The guys remaining were just 127-166.
The remaining solid ballhandlers are: Much=46-45 Proctor=34-20 McGill=20-16
Aaron Rountree also improved upon the Laury role with an 86-46 ratio...that will be tough to replace from your forward/center.
While Iona will likely never have a negative assist ratio under Cluess...next year the assist ratio will likely be significantly lower unless someone steps up as the stud PG of Machado, Jones, English lore...and he finds the point forward that replaces Laury/Rountree...
