uhhh who are the big 3 on this team? Outside of Nico... most wouldnt make the roster of a MAAC championship contending team let alone "big 3" label Whoever coach believes is the top 3. You can tell who they are by watching the game play out. Those 3 can do no wrong and will play the most mins. They wont get pulled in and out unless in foul trouble. They can miss all their shots and encouraged to shoot more. They dont have to play defense either. Every team has a Big 3....its usually the top 3 scorers. They are the top 3 scorers by playing the most mins and taking the most shots. And if they dont play well in a game there are excuses made for them. ok.. i will accept that every team may have their own "big 3" even if they arent all that good. As has been pointed out before... some of these guys look like stars in practice. But then again youre playing against low to mediocre D1 talent in practice. Siena is 8 years and running with that model. |

Siena is 8 years and running with that model. MM coaches with short benches will always have problems. If you add in favoritism it turns into a big mess. Players transfer if they are not happy with the environment or if they dont get PT. So if all you care about is your top 3 and only play 7 you will struggle to build. |

Unless of course your top 3 are stars... if they are mediocre you are screwed.
if its Moore, franklin and Ubiles, or guys in that mold, you are fine (more than fine) at this level, even if you have me coming off the bench.

I've been a Siena fan since the mid fifties and last nights game was the most embarrassing I have ever witnessed. I guess I just expected way to much. I saw the team quit, particularly Nico and I saw the Fan base quit. Yes I know its early and yes I know we were playing one of the best mid majors in the country but it was obvious to me and many others in attendance that nothing for the better has changed with the Siena Administration to bring credibility back to the Mens Siena basketball program. The TUC was an empty cavern last night and the Siena admin just flat out doesn't care!!!! D'Argenio was running around the place grinning from ear to ear ambivalent to what was happening around him. He needs to retire or be retired! Pastos substitution plan continues to be like a "revolving door" he just runs players in and out of games with no rhyme or reason and yanks them when they make a good play. Kadeem sinking the tray and them getting benched is a case in point. I don't want to hear that Siena doesn't have the athletes to compete at this level. Pastos recruited all of them, they are all his end of discussion. I also don't want to continue to hear "its the MAAC and its all about March" from him anymore. I pay a lot of money for season tickets and I don't know about you but what happens "in between" does matter to me. Going to Siena basketball games use to been a fun night out for my wife and I but for the past few years we've found that not to be the case. Thank God we had the foresight along with quite a few other Siena season basketball ticket holders to purchase season tickets to U Albany BB games. Ya they play in a shit box arena with a new electronic scoreboard that gives you no information other than the score, team fouls and timeouts BUT its a program on the rise that has passed Siena for basketball supremacy in the Capital Region area. Its sad but just a few years ago I thought I would never be saying this. I have to correct my comment regarding UA's new scoreboard. Just got back from the game tonight and apparently UA found someone who knew what they were doing and the new electronic scoreboard worked like a charm. More info on it than I've ever seen on a scoreboard before. Kudos to them. |

Except the start of the game was delayed for several minutes because they couldn’t get the clock to 20:00 with it also showing the Half as 1. Still a major improvement.
