One last question, what did you guys have the crowd split at? I had it somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 pro Siena. You could SEE 1/4 in the two sections for sure. What you didn't see were the hundreds of Siena fans scattered, and not wearing green, in other sections. I had plenty of Siena fans in Sec 100 (season ticket holders I'm guessing), and in the Sec. next to me. I could def see 1200-1500 there. Btw, there were a few hundred empty seats throughtout the arena too, surprisingly. I'd agree with that- the slow start basically took Siena fans out of game- but dont kid yourself a lot of Siena fans there

Once again we get a various obvious look at what well prepared, extremely well coached and focused "teams" can do to unprepared, uncoached and undisciplined teams. The UA kids all play together and within their individual limits - I think it's time to kill the talk about the best athletic department in the area - the big boy is THE BIG BOY across the board now and nothing is going to change that.

Tough year for you. UA is your favorite sports team now (I got season tix for sale if you're interested....real cheap), and Trump is your President. Stay away from the garage.

Maybe corporate tickets who knows? Interesting watching the game with die hard UA fans around me and having the opposite perspective on every bad call - I was also the youngest person in that section by far

I was 4 or 5 rows up from you..and same thing, a lot of old farts. UA fans are very vocal, very interesting to hear game/calls from their prospective

LMAO - wrong on all counts - puts your bromance with Jimmy in the bright lights (just picturing him as your top is comical) - Trump is my President - OMG you are deaf, dumb and blind. Must admit I'm not following the garage quip - it's as nonsensical as the rest of your post. Bailing on the season tix already - just the other day weren't you talking about now being able to catch games up there?

I was going to until your son gorvy announced that any TRUE Siena fan should burn the rest of their season ticket package. Since you bleed purple and gold now, I'll give you a great deal. ps--great "gay" joke. The only thing I saw gay was in your post, deep-throating Brown. He def outcoached our guy, but at the end of the day it comes down to making shots, and the kid he never played last year, made a lot. Our kids shot horribly the first half, and great in the second. Overcoming an 18 pt deficit was too big a task, especially with all of our best players in such foul trouble. And flying the flag upside down is because you're HAPPY Trump is your president?? lmao

A theme from losses last year resurfaces: we cam our "without energy". How can that happen in this game? With a seniors like Quis and Brett and big personalities like Nico. Just don't get it.

Watched the game from home, suffered through Wyland but his sidekick was knowledgeable and tried to be non partisan. ON TV looked as if there were more than a few scattered empty seats.

That was abysmal.
At this point we're squandering any opportunity to improve our RPI. Even if we win the MAAC we will be no better than a 14 seed and will probably be 15. I don't see a future here for Jimmy P. He did what he could be recover the program but this is supposed to be "the year" and we're 2-4. Down 18 at the half to UA is simply unacceptable.
I don't think Jimmy fully gets that every game counts and that just "showing up" at the NCAA isn't the bar that has been set.

As previously stated , no longer JP neutral, after last night outing he has to go. But so do others at the school, who were directly involved with the hiring, to those who do everything to damage the program. Like it or not time for change, major change at the school, and this change not only involves BB.

Oh yeah, good one, blame the players. Again - it's on both the coaches and players! However, the players are the ones in the court - and have to take responsibility at the end of the day! Sure, they have to take responsibility. But I will say it again. The buck should stop with the HC.

And flying the flag upside down is because you're HAPPY Trump is your president?? lmao The upside down flag is a symbol of my absolute fear and displeasure with Trump's election - how you could possibly glean any other view from it only confirms your aging vision and alcohol depleted grey cells. UA overall has a stronger and more effective athletic department than what we have at Siena - that doesn't mean I'm bleeding purple and gold by any stretch - I guess you bleed green and gold and don't like any other NCAA Programs. Watch the post game interview - your man admits he didn't really know much about Nichols until he saw him live - confirms his lack of scouting and his style of ignoring anything that has to have an attention span of more than 20 seconds. He did say the team has to grow up - hope he looks in the mirror before he gives that motivational speech. Since he likes this area maybe he should take Tony Rossi's job - baseball is his first love - he can't analyze any of our games without falling back on baseball stories. OBTW, making shots is a whole lot easier when the total team is running a designed play to get more than one guy open and then take the shot they are given by the defense.

But I will say it again. The buck should stop with the HC. And where is the leadership on the court come from ?! Because only real leadership I saw was from Wright.Which is load of crap! Especially when you consider how many veterans are on this team!
