HALFTIME GAEL-A
Canisius scored the final 8 points of the first half, shrinking the Iona lead from nine to just one, 32-31.
Iona played an inspired first half, especially the first five minutes, but they allowed the Golden Griffins back in with turnovers. Eleven days ago Iona led this same opponent by two at halftime, 31-29, before losing in overtime. In that game Canisius' Chuck Harris buried a three with 4.3 seconds remaining to tie the score in regulation. That was the first of three consecutive defeats in which Iona was either ahead or down by one with the ball in the final ten seconds.
The Gaels understand misery.
On to the second half...

Gaels go down again. Get those "Burnt Siena" posters ready, Ionans!
Next three are against teams with winning records, so I think J-Dub follows them all the way to St. Peter, er, St. Peter's, which is 3-18 and gets the Gaels twice in late February.
You realize there are 13 teams with RPIs lower than Iona? Eastern Illinois has five wins and is still below them. If I'm J-Dub, I point out that North Florida is winless against Division I opponents, hoping just to get warmer weather in the next few weeks.
