Looks like size wise we match up pretty well and actually are a little bigger. They might have a decent edge in speed but they will have to contend with Siena's size and ability on the glass. PG: Wright 6'0 SG: Poole 6'5 SF: Long 6'7 PF: Bisping 6'8 C: JO 6'8 Cole 6'5, Oliver 6'5, White 6'4 off the bench The team picture is up. Did Willem Brandwijk grow to 6'10? Looks two inches taller than Bisping and the same height as 6'10 Jimmy Merrill. www.sienasaints.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/sien-m-baskbl-mtt.html |

Saints are deeper and more experienced than Umass. They only have 5 guys who have real significant D1 experience. Dyson played only 82 minutes last year as a frosh.
They have eligibility issues on the bench in the frontcourt as well.
If their starters get into foul trouble, there is a pretty big drop off...especially in the frontcourt. Saints could wear them down over the course of the game.
I picked us to lose this one because it's a road A-10 game but I really think we can win it. If it was at home, I'd might have picked the win.
'This is Umass. We're in the A-10. We just went to the dance. We don't need Chazz, he was overrated. Remember that one game he fouled out and Davis led us to victory. We beat Siena twice before away from home. This should be an easy game at home. We're Umass. We're picked 4th in the A-10. We should win this by double digits.'
That's gonna be their attitude.
Siena fans will be in the building. Good shot at this one.

I would have to see the speed advantage before I say they have one. We def have the size advantage with match up problems for them #CantWait

Trey Davis is like Wright's speed. Hinds is faster, closer to Hymes speed but not quite. Esho kind of like Etherly/Wolfe athleticism. Lalanne is like a taller/quicker Silas who can also score. Gordon is like a 6-3 Wright. |

We will see on game day PG: Wright 6'0---PG Davis 6-0 SG: Poole 6'5-----SG Gordon 6-3 SF: Long 6'7------SF Dyson 6-5 PF: Bisping 6'8----PF Esho 6-8 C: JO 6'8----C Lalanne 6-10 |

One bus completely full for this road trip with 4-5 on the waiting list. How about we get another 25 or more and send two buses?

Teams tend to inflate heights. |

Teams tend to inflate heights. That goes for both teams. Bring your ruler to the game and check all of the guys out during warmups if this concerns you so much. I will watch the game to see who is faster. Or better yet if we are fast enough to win. |

Teams tend to inflate heights. It's sometimes amazing how much teams inflate their size. I don't think that will be the case for a few years with Siena. Seeing them live and up close, I've been amazed how much bigger the kids are this year. And our overall size is unbelievable. WB does look like he has gotten a growth spurt. He looks big and plays big. It's going to be interesting to see what he looks like by the time he's 22. |

If Bisping grabs another board and a half a game, he could do it this year. |

Would somebody please post as to whom interested fans should contact regarding bus trips to away games? I have a couple of people beside myself interested in attending the UMass game, as well as others on the schedule. Thanks for your help.
