First of all, MVS is critical to this team, as he has been our most consistent shooter and player thru-out the season. Iona was not giving him much room to shoot, and the ones he did have, he missed. That happens. He has made some huge shots for us both at Rider and St Peters. IMO, MVS should be shooting 12+ shots a game not just 7.

As far as Todd goes, he gets into a zone sometimes, and becomes unaware of open players at the arc. Big scorers sometimes do that, but Todd does need to kick it out more, like he did at St Peters. Last nights game we needed somebody to take it to the hoop, and Todd did that in a critical part of the 1st half. But once he starts to get doubled, he has to use the double team to his advantage and find the shooters.

But offense is not our problem, its mostly defense, and that is hard to tell whats not happening without reviewing video tape. From last night, I would say that Iona frontcourt players wer getting too good of position down low.... once that happened it was hard to stop them.

Todd is sensational when he gets into that "own the ball" zone and is scoring. When he can't find the hoop it's painful. But, no matter how you slice it, he kept the game interesting last night.

As far as MVS is concerned, all I see on the court is a dedicated, smart kid who wants to win. Everyone has a bad night. When he's sticking critical 3's I don't hear anyone complaining. And, at least you see some step change improvement year to year which cannot said for some of the seniors on this team for which we had high hopes 3 years ago.
