Rex's recruiting has been as bad as his coaching. Nothing is getting better until he's gone. Just a fact.

Most here just deal, in reality, good BB knowledge, will call as they see it. This team playing as they are currently is going no where. lot of blame to go around, no that good of a coach, assistants and the admin leaves much to be desired.

Sorry LaRose wasn't the answer the kid struggled on D big time. Too slow. Watching him vs Morehead St exposed him as a not being able to cut it I watched him in HS i didn't see it ....played vs low level comp. No he never would have been a star, but he could have been solid role player. Big problem we have this year is no outside shooting. Teams are collapsing on us, we still try to force it in, resulting in turnovers or forced shots that are well guarded. Looks like this team will struggle to get to .500 and dont even want to think about next year, year 5 of the 5 year plan..LOL

I don't even think he would have been a good role guy. Rex has recruited horribly. There's a ton of problems with this team and it goes way beyond shooting. I could write a book.

Usually I get mad when i see people put our team down on this forum. But now we are 4-8 this is by far one of the most disappointing seasons in a while. We suck it's plain and simple.. Poor recruiting. Seniors aren't playing like stars and Jimmy patsos needs to get out of loudonville As painful as it was to watch the Mitch era you know he tried and gave it his all. I really have never gotten the feeling that patsos has gone all in on recruiting, game planning and running the program. I'm wondering if he thought his personality combined with Siena's resources in the Maac would lead to instant success. Any thought to swinging patsos immediately, giving manning the reigns with a slight raise and reevaluating things in a year? I just can't see Siena paying two head coaches 400k a year for the next few years. With manning you could probably get him on the cheap for 1-2 years and then determine if you want to reup him for a real contract or move on to an outside candidate. Probably a crazy idea but I'm done with patsos.

Well a good ole fashioned ass kicking, never really in this game. Hofstra clearly much more talented. Bummer of a season, and I dont see it getting much better ..unfortunately

I'm a local guy and have been a Saints season ticket holder for a number of years now but I went to Hofstra and played baseball there so I still follow the athletic/basketball program pretty closely, take it for what it's worth. This will be a tough test especially on the road but if Siena plays a complete game they certainly can beat the Pride Thursday night. It's going to look like a ghost town in the Mack on Thursday... no students and three days before Christmas so I don't think the Saints are going to be dealing with too much animosity from the home crowd. The game will be available online and every Hofstra game so far this year has been free so I don't think that will change for this game. Their big man in the middle is Rokas Gustys, he's pretty darn good. He is leading the country in rebounds (13.4 rpg) and can definitely bang around a little and score down low when he wants. It's going to be interesting to see what Jimmy's game plan is going to be guarding him seeing as he is only shooting 20% from the line for the season. You read that right, twenty. This may be a game where you do sacrifice an EF or WB to go in and steal some possessions by putting Gustys on the line. I'd much rather see BB, Long and JO stay out of foul trouble early. They have another big man off bench in Sabety that is OK at best, he only sees 9 minutes a game. Pemberton and Bernardi are very good. Pemberton is a freshman pg averaging just under 15 per game and has already racked up 3 CAA Rookie of the week honors early into the season. He's also coming into this game shooting the three at a 49.1% clip (good for t-16th in the country if he qualified, just shy of 2.5 per game min... hes 26-53) a trend ill talk about below. Bernardi reminds me a little of a Kyle Downey type, scrappy, tough, gritty player. He has actually had a little bit of a slow start from beyond the arc but is still shooting 38.2% from 3pt this season and averaging 13.3 ppg. This brings me to my next point, this team can shoot the 3. Don't be fooled by the poor shooting performance vs. Kentucky last week on ESPN, they are shooting 38.9% from three as a team. This team also was only down 3 at half in that same game vs Kentucky before dying out in the second. They will be able to score (80+ ppg) and they get a lot more off their bench if you include Nico as a starter... Hofstra's bench 24.6 ppg vs the 13.9 ppg Siena's bench has produced this year. Should be a really good game. I think this one comes down to the final couple minutes. Like I said earlier its going to be very telling early if Jimmy came in with a plan to go after Gustys on the offensive end, defensive end, both or neither. Hope this helps a little. Seems like Scooter knows his stuff...
