Iona Asking More From Kelvin Amayo This Offseason
Tag: Kelvin Amayo
Iona Proves They Can Survive In More Ways Than One
Iona junior A.J. English refused to let the Gaels give in to a crowd that got as loud as it has in the last four seasons at the Times Union Center. Even Siena senior Evan Hymes said it was the loudest he had heard the arena he has called home for four seasons. Continue reading “Iona Proves They Can Survive In More Ways Than One”
English Shines, Williams Returns as Iona Sweeps Manhattan
Iona completed its perfect home slate with an energizing 79-75 win over Manhattan on Senior Night. The Gaels got a lift from the return of junior Isaiah Williams, who missed 12 games with a right foot injury. Williams contributed 12 points off the bench in his return. Continue reading “English Shines, Williams Returns as Iona Sweeps Manhattan”

Three Thoughts: Iona 72, Fairfield 57 (A Bit About Schadrac Casimir)
For all the talk about Iona being nicknamed Transfer U, some of it deserved, the Gaels’ success under Tim Cluess over the past five seasons has not been solely about picking up talented players that other programs may not want for various reasons. Continue reading “Three Thoughts: Iona 72, Fairfield 57 (A Bit About Schadrac Casimir)”
Three Thoughts: Iona 89, Marist 67
Coming out in a zone against Iona at the Hynes Center seems more than counterintuitive, it seems flat out dumb. The Gaels are the fourth-best three-point shooting team in the country (41.6%), and added for degree of difficulty and depth, betting against Iona in a shooting competition is certainly a losing proposition.
But Mike Maker is not dumb. And, despite the fact that Sunday was the Marist first-year coach’s inaugural matchup with Iona (they play again in two weeks), Maker thought his zone might just be the way to confuse and slow down the Gaels, who entered 38-4 in home MAAC games under Tim Cluess.

The decision was announced at approximately 3:30 Friday afternoon. Iona junior guard A.J. English would miss that evening’s game against Siena due to his role in a post-game altercation after the buzzer of the Gaels’ previous game, a 68-61 overtime win over Saint Peter’s. Continue reading “Iona’s Bench Comes Through In English’s Absence”
