I hope not. You just get the feeling that it's gonna be an ugly end of the season.

Until further ado , Iona has been and is still , the leader of the MAAC until someone unseats them , hence , not a bad loss ..

Iona is an 8 win team , we have half time lead of 10 and lose by 8 and THAT is a good loss. Have some pride.

Just saw the result. Stinks after having 10 point lead at half. Iona's big 3 all came through. Nice job St.Furcy. let's get 2-3 more wins before tourney and see what damage we can do in AC.

I don't think so ,.In fact i'm surprised we did as well as we did. .In my estimation ,Iona and Siena are playing the best basketball in the MAAC right now .Some may want to throw St. Peters in there too.I have plenty of pride for this team ...how bout u I think Jones learned today that if u "talk the talk " u gotta "walk the walk " . i didn't say it was a good loss ,,i said it wasn't a bad loss ...there's a difference .I don't think there is such a thing as a good loss ??

If we are really turning a corner then this a game we should have won. They were 1 game ahead of us in the standings. We were up 10 at half and came out flat so therefore it is not a loss to be proud of IMO.

Here is some hope.... I have to say, the MAAC is as down as I can remember. Even Quinnipiac, who is supposed to be the new program on the rise, will be 6-8 in the league after today. No dominant team and SPC is leading the way at 10-5? Canisius and Niagara not good, Fairfield and Manhattan not good as well. Siena, Rider, Monmouth, Iona and Manhattan just OK. The overall records of all the teams in this league not good. According to Sagarin Ratings the MAAC is ranked 25th out of 33 leagues, The Patriot League is ranked 24th and the America East is ranked 26th. Even the non-scholarship Ivy League is rated 17th. So the hope is that it should not take recruiting too many good players to get to the top 4 of this league......

They have 3 top players and are now playing to their level. This would have been a good win. But I agree it is not a good loss. It's a loss. Simple.

They are right this was a great loss . The list of why this was fantastically played game by Marist but they just ran into a top 7 win NCAA team . I am sure we have a few more great loses coming up.
Losing great is so much better then years past. I mean Iona is now a great team ...

FYI Iona has won the MAAC tourney the last 4 years ,,they are defending 4 time champs , they are on a roll ,,they have pieces from last year, unfortunately their brilliant coach has been ill all year . It has taken awhile ,they are rolling . they had bulletin board material cause Jones acted like an A$$..If we line up all of our losses i would not rank this one in the bad category ..Itll be a good game wednesday between Siena / Iona ....The Womens MBB loss against Fairfield was a bad loss ...the loss against Princeton ..not so much .I wouldn't say it was a bad loss ,,i wouldn't say it was a good loss though either obviously ..

The Princeton women have lost only one game this season.. to a ranked big10 school. Iona has 9 wins this season, those are not comparable losses. The MAAC this season has been so up and down, teams go on win streaks like Iona did. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Iona loses their next 3 games without even looking at their schedule. With the way the MAAC is this season, IMO there are no good losses. We have beaten the #1 team and lost to the #11 team. We can beat any team in this conference but the team should not be praised for a loss IMO. I am fine with praising the individual performances in the game, like St. Furcy had a nice one, but we lost ... period.
