From The Penthouse To The Outhouse


The only remaining winless basketball team in Division I resides in New Rochelle, New York, as the Iona Gaels sit in the cellar of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, with an overall record of 0-20.

The Gaels, coached by former NBA player Jeff Ruland, were in last year's NCAA Tournament. They have lost all five starters from last year, and have now hit hard times. They have lost three of their last five games in overtime.

Luckily for the Gaels, four of their next five games are at home. This losing streak is bound to end.

The opportunity still exists for Iona to win four consecutive games at the end of the season in their conference tournament, and to go to the Big Dance. That is very doubtful, but still possible.
