vs. Iona

[Clickclack]

This is going to be a tough game, I'd like to see continued improvement win or lose. Iona is good although they've had a rough start to their season losing a couple of games they probably shouldn't have.

 

Hopefully Black will be back.

Brown on Wyland today.

 

Team is sure feeling a little better about themselves after finally getting a win. Had been telling Logan to play defense and keep on shooting and they'd finally start dropping.

 

Mike Black texted him last night that he was ready to go, CB replied When you gonna practice? If he goes two hours in practice today, he still might sit vs. Iona to make sure he's OK, even though we could really use him tomorrow.

 

Might shut Puk down for a week to try to get the achilles better.

 

Thinks Iona might have the most talent in the MAAC, they'll try to press after every made basket. Their coach calls the plays out loud, but knowing them and doing something about them is a different matter.

 

The games in Detroit may be similar

I really hope we beat these guys after the whoopin we sat through in New Rochelle last year.

I don't see Iona with 2 losses they shouldn't have. 1 "bad" loss, but also 1 win against a "better" team and 2 losses against teams they were expected to lose to.

Should be a good test for UA and I would like to see a good showing against the "best maac team" I see this season as I decided against going to Detroit and even if I go to the LCC game it is not like you can see the court from the seats they put UA in.

Almost positive the game note on Glover is wrong- he committed to but never attended Seton Hall. Either way, he should give us all we can handle down low and then some. Will need somebody to step up in a big way today,I think a forward hopefully Devlin or maybe Jake, to spring an upset. PAGN Preview

 

I agree with ClickClack- at least Iona will view them as bad losses, especially after upsetting a very good Richmond team. I suspect they're hungry to make their record reflect their skill level so I'd be surprised if they have a hangover from the big victory.

No type is too small for the TU to get it wrong about UA . . . in the agate type under "Transactions" in today TU, the entry for UAlbany begins: "Mike Kelly named America East Conference men's basketball Defensive Player of the Week." Mike, of course, plays football, and earned that award in the NEC. Sometimes I have to wonder how much of this kind of nonsense is intentional, and how much of it is just sloppiness, laziness, ignorance, and we-don't-give-a-damn-anyway.

In the last several days there have been most entries about other MAAC teams (recent SPC beating Alabama) blog entries then there have been about UA. LOL

I am looking at Iona's record from my perspective. I way no way of knowing what they think "they should have done". I see what they have done and the talent on the team. It is a good test for UA playing a team that is supposed to be a top team of a peer league. As a fan I want to see signs that they can compete with an upper team of a peer league as I would like to see UA compete against the top teams of the AE especially at home something they really did not do last year.

Thanks for the PAGN preview - I just want to see hard nosed D tonight. 40 minutes of hell type of stuff that shows some life in this team against a strong opponent.
