Iona (11/23/14)

[CMJ]

This is a historically strong basketball school. Our first real test this season.

Something I don't think I've seen discussed is that, I'm pretty sure, Muhammad Ahmed's brother signed with Iona out of high school this year but isn't on their roster. Not sure what the deal is there.

Yea I think it was in the recruiting thread that someone mentioned that.

I believe he went prep , but is still committed to Iona

Oh okay, thanks. Sorry, I meant that I hadn't seen it discussed lately in talking about Iona. But yeah, it was discussed when we signed Muhammad Ahmed.

[IslandEagle]

All I know is that Iona will be tough and are favored to win their conference

[Andrew]

Iona can flat out knock down the three. For this game I hope we run some full court press or 1-3-1 hall court trap. We need to run man once they settle in. Our zone defense is decent but we do not adjust quick enough to stop the three the way Iona shoots it. It could be a long night if our zone D is used and not adjusted.

It's gonna be 3-2 zone all the way bc of their shooting. I agree I'd like to see more man too.

Good morning guys. I just wanted to stop by and wish you guys luck. It should be a great game today. I see you guys have gotten off to a nice start and I am anxious to see how my guy Muhammad Ahmed is developing. While I will be unable to root for you guys this evening I will be following and rooting for you guys the rest of the way this year. Good health to you and your team.

Thanks for reaching out. After a couple of difficult seasons, we are anxiously looking forward to this game to see if our 3-0 start indicates good things to come. Beautiful day here after the rain during our last home football game yesterday, and I hope the 5:00 start (our time) gets me home in time for the Cowboy game at 7:30 against another team from NYC. Think I know who you are rooting for there also.

Anybody see a schedule for MG hospitality room today?

[CMJ]

I'll probably miss the first few minutes on my way home from the office. Don't worry, I'm not missing 2 straight games.

[CMJ]

NT 12

Iona 10

I think it's the under 12 minute media TO

NT 18

Iona 18

7:42 to go

Still kind of getting my bearings, but it it seems like Voss is playing well early. A technical on Maurice hurt the cause a bit.

[UNTFan23]

I think that technical foul was bogus. I don't believe Maurice was argueing with the refs.

Flannigan also playing really well.

[meangreenacct]

Technical was 100% garbage. The ref seems to have an attitude. I like the way our D is playing.

[MeanGreen55]

Refs have missed about three traveling calls on Iona

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

CMJ, do you watch from College Sports live subscription? How much is it/is it the worth it for the basketball season? Wondering what the video quality is like and how easy it is to just do it monthly during basketball with all the non-televised games.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

Also debating it because I do enjoy listening to Jub Jub broadcasts.

[meangreenacct]

If key call comes down to ref who called a tech, we are screed...he is terrible.

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

Terrible timeout by Benford

The audio for the stream is Jub, win/win.

[meangreenacct]

Going to be hard to stay in it playing 8 on 5...
