The bigs are liabilities. No touch, no hands, no finesse, no strength 

Really miss Linssen.

Where do I sign up to be Jenkins agent? That guy is great.

[slu72]

Find a way to clog the inside. That’s where they’ll killing ud.!

Winning on the road against good teams is what separates good teams from great teams.  This game is not a must-win for an at-large bid.  But if our guys want to get on the path to greatness, the journey starts here.

After that first half It doesn’t appear this team wants to be good or great. 

[AnkielBreakers]

I may be watching a different game. It looked like Iona fouled us on every shot after we were up 19-14, and we only got 1-2 foul calls from there on out. We go up straight: foul. They go with full swat: no foul.

[billikenbill]

Iona has better players. Maybe we find a way to steal it but I don’t see how.

[Spoon-Balls]

This isn’t exactly Pitino‘s first rodeo trying to shut down world class point guards. He knows exactly how to (as Wiz usually puts it) hold Yuri to (fill in the blank) assists and points.

[Billiken Rich]

I'm out.  I have a loving and lovely wife,two good kids, my health, and........well.....I guess that's something........

[NYBilliken]

What a disastrous half of basketball. More of the same and we lose by 20+. With early lead at 19-14, everyone relaxed, coach thought he would try a new lineup, and Iona outscored us 31-13 the rest of the way.

[dlarry]

They looked like they have never played together before. 
Just a jumbled mess. 
it’s not the pressure defense either it’s stupid decision making.

At least OldGuy is happy because Collins finally had a bad half of basketball.

It’s over.  What in our DNA would suggest otherwise?   And I’m generally positive.

[Dr. Holly Hills]

Well sh**t!!!

[gobillsgo]

Haven’t seen a coach so outclassed since Majerus used to do it to the other team.  

[BC1764]

Brooklyn or NIT

[Matty Light]

We should maybe just confine our team to games played west of the Hudson River. We don't seem to show up east of there.

[dlarry]

Okoro had a bunny that would have cut it to 5.

He missed.

Iona goes down and drains a 3 to go back up by 10.

That sequence killed them!

Good news everyone, yuri will be back next year …

Then stop forcing it inside Every. Single. Possession. It’s not rocket science.  Surely we have some sort of offense to get shooters open?

[laker119]

I just don’t understand how we can look so pedestrian in all facets…the defensive effort is atrocious 

[billikenbill]

We were 10-37 from the floor and Iona had 8 blocks.

[CBFan]

Coaching is the issue with the team not playing defense.

Defense was an issue last season and it continues this season, 45 points good grief.

 

[JettFlight5]

Iona is playing well. 
 

I think I’ll leave it at that.

[dlarry]

I guess Maryland vs Iona would be a good game.
