Yeah was waiting for that.

They have turned up the defensive pressure.

X struggling from the line last few minutes

Not sure how Iona keeps this close. Watched their last two games (so im an expert now) - and just don't see them competing physically down low with Sanogo/Cligan. Their PG is Good- nice player- he'll get his points... but UConn when clicking- is a beast of a team. Hawkins is a Pro - don't think theyll have success limiting him.

UConn by 15+

The upset pick I was most confident of in my brackets was VCU over St. Mary's. Shows you what I know.

Pitt starts with a 16-2 blitz against mighty Iowa State.

Same.

Gotta say I am going to be torn in the UCONN - Iona game. Absolutely hate UCONN but would like to see Iona's season end. Won't know who I'm rooting for until I'm actually watching lol.

 

[Jack Williams]

If they were frauds what were we.

Not every topic has to come back to us

 

[Jack Williams]

Iona looking like a really well coached group pls god let Pitino be our coach

 

[sjc88]

On one hand I want Iona to beat the crap out of Yukon, of course on the other hand, the quicker a certain Coach is free to move the better I think.

Decisions, decisions.

 

[NCJohnnie]

I've got UCONN winning a few in both brackets, they are from the Big East and the sooner Pitino's season ends the better for us, but I'm finding it hard to root for UCONN.

 

[Jack Williams]

I’m sorry but look how ready pitino had his team. They are locked and loaded. If the pitino to SJU buzz ends up not being real I don’t think I’ll ever recover

 

[sjc88]

Just watch how well Iona shoots and defends. I would kill for a team like that. Pitino did that in the MAAC Conference level. No offense but just imagine…

 

[espken]

Iona looking sharp on offense. Beautiful to see In rhythm flow. Only negative is letting Sonogo beat them down the floor in the early minutes.

 

[sjc88]

Espken, make no mistake they don’t have the talent of Yukon BUT the effort is there. They might get worn down but they are right there. To me, that’s coaching.

 

[Queens_Ball]

Yeah I came into this game intending to root for UConn so there could be a quicker resolution to the Pitino drama and I abandoned that by the first tv timeout. Go Gaels.

100%

 

[ctstorm]

UCONN too physical for Iona but what effort!

 

[sjc88]

By the way this sure as hell looks more like the “40 minutes of hell” we all expected and that Anderson promised. Iona players are flying all over the place.
