Just keep the spread under 44 please. And let's hold them to under 52 points this half too.

I agree but this is where we really miss JO-- hard to play all 3 of our bigs at same time We still have Silas to spell them.

True - but Goodwin hasn't missed a shot against anyone we throw at him. At this point, I'd just use this game to give him his first long run of the season and then make him watch film of his defense breakdowns to learn and grow. yeah and what happens when Goodwin and Memphis front line fouls them all out we finish game with Poole or Oliver at 5?

Memphis showed they are not a quality Top 20 team with their blowout loss to Oklahoma St. Playing at a neutral site against a team that could be looking beyond us to a match up with LSU is a great way to pick up coach's first signature win as a Saint. I think they will continue to run and press and I think Lavon and Imoh will have more of an impact on the game than they did against Purdue. These guys need to know that giving up a hoop here and there in the short run is better for the team in the long run. We need to realize, especially for offensively talented teams from higher conferences, that we can't always stop them but that if we can put two halves together of agressive offensive ball, that we just might be able to outscore them so my prediction on Thanksgiving is that we score, score, score. With Hymes getting into an apparant groove where he feels comfortable coming off the bench and is playing with confidence and not looking over his shoulder, I think we will finally find a way to play two solid offensive halves where we get production from everyone including a big breakout game from Wolfe and hold them off with an upset in a close win in a shootout; 90-88. Halftime - Memphis-46 Siena-45 Poole-16; Hymes-15; Long-12; Wright-11; Silas-10; White-8; Bisbing-6; Wolfe-7; Oliver-5 Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. Go Siena! Beat Memphis! A concern that I have is that I have zero doubt memphis will be prepared for hymes. They will look at the purdue tape and prepare accordingly Nice try.. Hymes loves making you look wrong.. Hymes only player quick enough to hang with Tigers

Hey if Jimmy's not concerned about saving any TOs, why be concerned with conserving their 15 fouls.

Bisping is really playing at a high level. JO's gonna have to bust his butt to earn minutes which will only benefit us as the season wears on.

Saints made them play their starters and make a game of it for about 25 minutes. The Tigers offense is smooth-- fun to watch if it wasn't against the Saints. Hopefully the team will learn from this and press on.

Agreed. Just overmatched. Memphis makes Purdue look like a MAAC team. No quit in our guys though - great to see. Look out MAAC.

Just miss to many open shots to stay with big teams, I count at least 6 open 3's tonight.

A couple of years from now, we hang with these guys. Overmatched tonight, though. Any Saints fan who isn't loving Bisping at this point needs to have their head examined. I really like this whole team. MAAC play is going to be fun. Looking forward to tomorrow, whoever we play.

Just a really bad match-up for Siena. Their defense totally affect our offense even the open looks were rushed.
We just don't have the horses or experience to compete in a game like this. Yet. Memphis is loaded - by far the best team we will play all season. Put this game behind you learn from it and getting ready for St. Joe's or LSU. The kid played hard and hopefully won't hang their heads and just learn from this game.
It's not a big deal but why did Jimmy use all of the timeouts in the 1st half? I guess just to slow all of Memphis' momentum?
