This game is primed for a win.
1. At home.
2. Long turnaround between games.
Those 2 items point to a win, of course it is Vt. and JP's record is less than so-so against them. Won't be long, we'll see who reigns supreme.

Good test to see if, as some think, JO and/or Quis have checked out.

Team seems to be on the same page and saying all the right stuff, let's hope that translates to win tonight. Win or lose the team needs our support when they are on the floor, let's go Saints. youtu.be/LM35T0_llSk |

Confidence level of both teams and fans seems to be at an all time low. Hopefully the team can get it done on the court. If the admin reads this board (as some think) I highly doubt due to their arrogance. The kids perform on the floor Siena may still finish 500. One really has to feel for the kids and program.

Vt is missing Henson their top rebounder and scorer. Maybe we catch a break. We're overdue.

Vt missing Henson their top rebounder and scorer. Maybe we catch a break. We're overdue. With the talent this team has it shouldn't need a break to beat Vermont. Lets hope they returned from Christmas break ready to play (for themselves)!!! Go Saints!!! |

Yup, and they shouldn't be 0 - 8 on the road and they shouldn't be 4 - 8 overall and yet they are ... like I said I before I think we are overdue. |

You are what your record says you are. This is not an individual sport. The most successful coaches in this game are those that can manage a group into a resilient unit, whether you have six sixth men or multiple superstars. The college bball head coach is solely responsible for building the personnel in his or her unit. In a world where recruiting mistakes are run off, scholarship positions are doled out as favors and change is a revolving door of players and coaches every season it's no small wonder why things don't come together.

I expect our best effort of the year tonight and a win. Team is nowhere near as bad as their record would indicate.
Suspensions taken into account a 4-7 OOC would be fine with me.

Am I the only one concerned about the message that might be heard if Quis comes off the bench because he struggles with fouls early? This positional roulette wheel is mind numbing - are we trying to develop a "team" or trying to muck up an opponent's scouting report. It's his senior year and it's not his fault that others are struggling with their shots - we have a plethora of guards who can satisfy JP's bent on running players in and out at whim. And I don't think Quis reached 1000 pts solely because he was at the 2. While I want nothing more than a win tonight, this game, in reality, means nothing - RPI for us is back to only being the school across the river. Last thing I want to read next Monday morning is that we are still trying to settle on a starting lineup, especially at PG. Start the best five and manage the team smartly from that point on (pun not intended).

Damn MP, I missed that, can't believe he's still screwing around with the starting lineup 13 games in. It's Rex with a Rubix Cube, he just can't solve the puzzle. He's the king of substitution roulette. Fans wonder why there's no chemistry. There are different groups of players on the floor every few minutes all playing in and out of position. No continuity.
Even if we win tonight not starting MW, it's not the answer, the lineup is sure to change again, you can bank on it.

Again this tidbit about Marquis was a Sinclair tweet after practice, so who knows.
