Tough game to watch in large part because we were never really challenged - PB very quick players but sorely lacking in fundamentals - horrible shooting but our D helped amplify that view. Lavon was awesome - looked like he was focused and obviously enjoying it. Re the lack of threes - I think our game plan was to force the ball inside and not just launch - might have been primarily aimed at getting Brett back in gear - PB seemed to have prepared to double our bigs and their quickness was a good test for our guys. Re our turnovers - I think it was more than obvious to our guys that we were going to win big and maybe a high percentage of our turnovers were forced when trying to make spectacular plays - when we have played much better teams this year we have protected the ball much more. I like the late game platooning as it clearly gave the right end of the bench the message a few times that they weren't cutting it. JP used those lapses for some hard in your face coaching - more effective that waiting for watching tape the next day. Happy Thanksgiving to all. We'll have a better test on Sunday.

Well thought out take on the game, right on. Most forget that you play to the level of your competition. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

That was the worst game I've ever seen. Siena would have better playing a green and gold game. 4000 at best in attendance. 4000, that's actually outstanding considering it's Thsnkguving Eve (students gone for the mini break) and playing one of the worst D1 teams. That's a positive!!! Worst game ever witnessed by Papi and still Siena draws 4000, you can't ask for more than that. Absolutely amazing!!! Just think of it wasn't a holiday, students in town and a better opponent, we'd probably have at least 6000 which is basically our avg. All positives in my book. Attendance per ESPN was 5252. I agree, if that was the actual attendance that was phenomenal for a game the night before Thanksgiving against the worst Siena opponent in years.

I live down south, so I saw parts of the game until the feed failed. For our out of state fans, I have emailed Mike Demos, Director of Communications, about tonight's awful feed on ESPN3. 20 Turnovers? You kidding me? Good experience game for the kids, but I wish we could have set the defense record for points...40 in one game. Missed tying it by 3! Rivalry week next week! Sunday November 27th, @ UA, 7 pm (TWSC/America East TV) Wednesday November 30th, @ Saint Bona, 8 pm (A 10 Network, probably TWSC) -------------- Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for the win. Follow-up: Demos did reply back and said their was a wiring issues at the TUC. Said it will be fixed before the next game.

Not often you win by 23 points without hitting a 3 pointer and a 10-20 assist to turnover ratio. Ugly game but was nice to see Lavon play well and Brandwijk get minutes. On to Albany.

That's a good thing then. If we didn't play particularly well and still beat a team by double digits, that's a positive. I remember Fran's teams sometimes not playing well and still pulled out a win. I wouldn't worry too much about Sunday's game; life's too sort to be worrying about something out of your control. This might be the worst D1 program I've ever seen. We beat a team that would probably get smoked by some DIII schools. I didnt see anything positive. Brett should have been rested. Friday Shivers WB And Tommy should have played a ton in this game. I have no idea what Patsos is thinking. Sorry that you didn't see any positives. I did. Lavon played great and with good effort/shot selections. Jimmy Merrill played well too. I'd love for Siena to get up big to allow JM as much playing time possible for his Sr season. Gordy, MP, other posters and even fans at the game who don't bother reading this board had some positive things to say. Hopefully they do better next time. I hate it when fans don't get any enjoyment out of pummeling an opponent or can't take away any positives even DIII caliber (meaning I feel that bad for them/you because they/ you deserve to enjoy the games too).

My observation was simple (and as usual a mile above your Siena capped dome): The game was unwatchable because of 20 turnovers which was a major source of concern last season. Having 20 TOs vs this level of competition isn't good especially with UA looming Sunday. This game was tuneup/scrimmage ... I'm a firm believer in practicing like you play. Siena was way too sloppy in half court sets and sloppy in transition. Play like that vs UA & we aren't getting out of the SEFCU with a win. I'm happy for Jimmy M, really I am, but he isn't doing anything but keeping a seat warm at the SEFCU. When I go see a game I'm looking at execution and how that translates to other matchups; I'm looking at individual play, team play, are we getting better or are we regressing. It's just the way I watch a game I get it you're a Pom Pom guy I tend to watch from a player / coaching perspective, I'm looking at nuances of the game.

Too bad I read the originally post anyway.
