The Zedric Sadler Rider basketball fans expected to see returned just in time to spark the Broncs to their first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference victory.
Here’s hoping that Sadler sticks around instead of the one who struggled to find the form which earned him the league’s Sixth Man of the Year last season.
“It’s been frustrating at times,” Sadler said Thursday night following a wild 102-100 win over Marist. “I just want to keep battling because it’s my senior year and I feel like I deserve to give this team my all. Whether I’m scoring, playing defense, I just want to be out there on the court.”

Iona's home advantage tough to crack for MAAC opponents
Iona should probably just go ahead and hang a banner outside its home arena that reads ‘Welcome to Fortress Hynes.’
The Gaels have been so dominant inside the Hynes Athletic Center, visiting teams rarely win in New Rochelle.
Just how good?
Consider this: Iona has won 24 straight games at home and 40 of the last 43. Canisius was the last MAAC school to win there during the 2013-14 season. The Gaels are 43-4 at home vs. the MAAC under sixth-year coach Tim Cluess.

Lawrenceville >> Rider coach Kevin Baggett looked down his bench, one that was shorthanded due to injuries and illness, and knew he had to put Khalil Alford in the game.
Alford delivered a career-best 15 points in 32 minutes, helping the Broncs beat Hartford in double-overtime for their third victory in the last four games.
With Kenny Grant now out for the season, Alford is likely going to see more minutes than he has at any point in his career.
