Jose Perez scores 27, including a last-second game winner, to lead Manhattan over Iona.

Thank You for posting. Just saw post game highlights on FS1  Manhattan 74 Iona 72.

In other words, Slick Rick Pitino had no defense for Jose Perez!

Brian Wardle was owned by Drew Valentine this afternoon.  Sad!

My sources inside the Al tell me Wardle has already packed his bags to come home.  Look for the announcement shortly after selection Sunday

Getting back into the Horizon at UWM?

No, taking over at Marquette.  This season has been unmitigated disaster for the ‘gles

Yep. If we don't win the national title, all blame goes to Lipe-Nagle-Raymonds-Smart.

Found it interesting that Greg is showing up on some social media content with Morsell and Kuath as being one of the seniors. Wonder if that means he’ll be moving on after this year. It’d be kind of dumb to have him honored again next year if he stays.

What if he's 95% sure he's leaving? How about 75% sure?

Or do you only honor him if he says today, "I'm 100% sure I'm going"?

Greg's been at Marquette 5 years. He stayed even when others in his position jumped ship. I have absolutely no problem honoring him tonight. If he happens to return next season, that's cool too.

I have never heard of any player being honored twice on Senior Day. I think this means he gowne.

[Uncle Rico]

He gowne

[4everwarriors]

He is gone, hey?

Except he said he had not made up his mind yet when asked on Thursday. But it could all be mind games or smoke  & mirrors

My guess is he’s made up his mind, but doesn’t want to announce he’s leaving until the season is over.

It was mainly teal less teal. But yes, still it wouldn't be like a shocking announcement.

Hinsdale Central here he comes!

I watch a game today where two or three seniors were having their second senior night and one of them could still come back for a third.

Greg may grad transfer.  But I'd put money on this year being his final year at Marquette.

Every moment is an Arby's moment as long as they keep making payments on the yacht.

Yes—UConn game. Whaley and Polley(I think). They had a senior night last year and one this year. So, i stand corrected….it dies happen.

Per KenPom, Koby is the frontrunner for Big Sky Player of the Year this season. Jamal Cain is #2 in the Horizon and Jose Perez is #3 in the MAAC.

I watched a lot of Weber St. games this season (they were always on ESPN+), and Koby is definitely a great player in the Big Sky, but is high-usage and not noticeably "improved" from his MU days.  I suspect Jamal's case is similar.  It just speaks to the strength of the Big East - players who step down in competition can make a big splash, while those making more of a lateral move (like Joey at MSU, Dawson at UNC, Theo at Duke, Symir at Syracuse, even Dexter at Oregon St., ) don't see big changes in their contribution and numbers.  I don't know that we'd be any better or worse with Koby or Jamal this year, but I bet they've had fun.

Koby named Big Sky Newcomer of the Year and first-team all conference.
