Poor Iona... I mean there absolutely can't be a worse story in the land than this one. Here you've got a team that went dancing last year, then graduated 80% of their scoring. Most of the time on a dipcrap team like that, the team posts a marginal season because there should be some guys who come back who were recruited went there just to play with those couple guys (in this case, Ricky Soliver and Steve Burtt).
Nope. Not the Gaels. Iona's fought hard this year. Damn team doesn't give up. Down 15 with 2 minutes left, they're fouling. Down 20 with 30 seconds left and they're still fouling.
Yet here we are... from a team that went 23-8 last year and had an RPI of 64 to absolutely the worst team in the country.... yet amazingly, their RPI has gone UP as they lose games in a weak MAAC (was 330 about a month and a half ago). I'll never understand the RPI... last I checked...
Oh, and just in case Iona wins their first game, they'll still be the only team in America with only 1 win... but the Gaels have something to cheer about.... back to back games with 3-18 St. Peters...
