I would think both teams would be better cause the Frosh now have a half season under their belt. The addition of Deng Gai makes our interior defense better than the first game, but I expect Iona to go at Gai to try to get him in Foul Trouble. The last few teams we played (Canisius, Rider, Loyola, and Yale) decided to shoot from the outside as Gai blocked the first few shots.

Stags are without Michael Bell (remember him), and that hurts our outside defense as he would be a good matchup with Soliver. I would also expect Dewitt Maxwell to play more and match the athleticism of Steve Smith.

Stags have been playing some good "D", and if they can bother the Iona on the perimeter that would give Stags the advantage..... with Goode and Todd being a key here. If it becomes more of a running game, or more of an offensive game, then I think Gaels have many more offensive options, and their big men run the floor well..... especially Henson, who usually kills us.

If Stags stay close the first half, I feel that we have the composure to pull out another road game. But I think Ruland will have his team focused as a Big game.... because of the first games result, and because we are 5-0.

Iona will come out hard and pissed off after what happened in the last game. They will come right at DG, and try to pound FF on the glass, just like they did last year. If DG stays out of foul trouble, and the other big guys step up, which I believe they will, FF will win, a close one. A lot of the easy layups and garbage points should dissappear this time around for Iona.
