Iona • NCAA Hoops

What the Hell Happened to Iona?

In one of those stories that has little logical explanation, the Iona Gaels are 0-22. For the mathematically challenged, that means they haven’t won a single damn game. All year. And they’re not exactly playing top shelf teams, either, as all sorts of teams have been hanging losses on them this year.

The truly bizarre thing is that Iona was actually a NCAA tournament team last year, winning 23 games. Granted, they lost three starters from that team and the other two went down with injuries, but even that isn’t enough to explain a winless season the next year. They’ve lost lots of close games, true, but they’re still sitting at 0-22, the only winless team left in Div. I basketball.

My personal theory: global warming. Damn you, global warming, with all of your extended, far-flung consequences.
