I guess Cragg’s idea that great half time shows would increase attendance was incorrect. Who would have thought that attendance figures almost directly correlate to winning. Amazing

Purdue up by 1 against Rutgers in a good one on BTN.

Iona beats Niagara in the semis, will face either St. Peter’s or Marist (both with overall losing records) in the MAAC Finals.

When fouling up 3 beats you

When fouling up 3 beats you

You’re supposed to foul the guy before he’s in the act of shooting. Once he’s in the act of shooting you don’t touch the guy. I am a proponent of fouling up three at the end of a game. Why even let the other team have chance to tie it up. But you have foul the guy on the floor.

Dayton vs VCU should be an interesting A-10 final.

Suspect Gonzaga & Marquette have both earned 2 seeds. I kind of like the Zags this year, but then again I usually do.

This is the year they win because no one is picking them. Unless I pick them, then they get upset by someone.

Watching Iona. This Walter Clayton jr kid can really play. If Rick comes, he will be a starting guard for us next year.

From watching this Iona game and observing Pitino. He doesn't look "old", definitely still active and fiery on the sidelines, he draws up his own plays (!!!), and looks hungry as ever.

His energy is unbelievable. Pulling away now from Marist. 14 game winning streak. Looking at maybe an 11 seed.

Have to remember these kids are all playing at a mid major, with lesser competition. No telling how they will translate on a higher level. I admittedly have no idea who's good enough to make the next step, I don't follow any of these guys, but just an observation.

Congrats to Rick Pitino and the Iona Gaels.

Quinn Slazinski may have been their best player this year if he had not gotten hurt. Rick already said kid is likely to transfer and look for NIL money.

Kick some ass in the NCAA Tournament coach.

Kick some ass in the NCAA Tournament coach.

I would be happy for Iona if they win their first round game.

But I want it to end there, because, well, you can take a guess…

Kranmars, no worries, patience is a virtue.
The HOF coach is coming if Iona is eliminated in the 1st round, or he's coming if they win the NC, we gotta wait.

Gawd some are like little kid on Christmas, soooo impatient


Me? I'm chilling, gonna sit back and put my feet up, downing beers, and imagining Iona is SJU's as they're kicking ass.
With every win I'll be light up a Monte Cristo Cigar.

Yes, destroy a major name, lose on a crap call in second round, arrive here with huge chip on shoulder.

If the NCAA had any sense at all they'd have UCONN play Iona in the opening round in Albany.
