haven't seen them play in a couple of years, but here's what i can tell from the stats:
they didn't shoot the ball well vs albany, but they should be a very good shooting team this year.  last year, they were 14th in the nation in 3 pt pct at 39.7.  they bring back three sharpshooters - much shot .385 on 148 three point attempts, crawford hit .448 on 125 attempts and casimir shot .427 on 96 tries.  to those three they add transfer roland griffin who hit .393 for illinois state two years ago.  even returning point guard mcgill is not a great shooter but did hit on nearly 34% of his attempts last year.

to those four they add two grad transfers.   zach lewis hit only 29% from three for umass last year, but he's a career 33% shooter who,as a freshman at canisius, knocked down 39% of his 162 triple tries.

the other grad transfer is going to be a good early test for our bigs.  tk edogi is their big man who went for 17 and 9 on 8/10 shooting vs albany.  he's a transfer from tulsa in the aac, where he didn't set the world on fire but he did hit 62% of his shots, all from the interior.  he's a good ft shooter, too.  at least he gives iona a semblance of a true interior game, which none of our opponents have presented so far.
