Observations:
1. Bacon had a huge impact on the game, even beyond his good stat line.....he defended the paint in a way no SPC player has in recent memory....altering Iona shots all night long. If Ryan continues to improve, he will become a very, very special player for SPC. My analogy is a more fundamentally sound Jamie Sowers..........with a work ethic.
2. Leon created many scoring opportunities for himself in the second half when Iona focused more on Wesley. All I can say is....only Oldtimer had it right.
3. Wesley carried SPC in the first half...15 of our 23 points!
Next few years may shape up pretty well, for the following reason...tonight, Iona's bench outscored ours 20-0. Most nights, opponents outscore our bench by 10-15 points, at a minimum.
Hey, Costner, Hill, Hall, Reid etc. are eligible to improve and they may do so....not knocking them....but if you substitute an average MAAC level players performance (Conley? Belin?)and remove the stats of rotation players 6-8, our club takes a quantum leap....as our subs performance this year has generally been poor, with random exceptions. If Conley and Belin are only "solid" players, vs. "very good".....the team takes a major step forward next year.
Let's take the Jaspers, avoid the PIG and match up with Rider next Saturday night at 9:30PM....playing with house money.

Truly outstanding defensive effort tonight by the team mixing match up zone at times with strong man to man defense. Defense created some offense and it was enough to pull through. Nice job game planning by the coaches and executing by the team. Putting Ryan Bacon at times on a penetrating guard disrupting Iona's flow was a very nice move similar to what he did in the Marist game.
C.J. Reed was not suited up tonight but was in the crowd. Appears Mumford is gone. kudos to the staff and team for the fine second half of the season. Let's put the finishing touch on it and win Sunday to avoid the PIG.Would be a nice cap off to the year.
Also must comment on the outstanding play of Nick Leon in the second half and under pressure at the point down the stretch. The improvement in his game over the course of this year has truly been a pleasure to watch. Wesley was red hot in the first half made some great shots,held scoreless in the second half when hampered by fouls but very nice overall game.
Shot blocking presence of Ryan Bacon truly a force underneath and anchors the defense allowing our guards to overplay the passing lanes a bit knowing if they get beat on a drive Bacon is there to close it down.
