Say what you will, Bundu covered an awful lot of ground to make a great block to end the game. Shivers got to the rim, I thought the Saints were going to win. Bundu made a great play. I don't have an opinion one way or the other on Nico ... he certainly wasn't bringing much to the table that day. Think they had Horn in the game instead of Nico, no one was cheating off him the way he can shoot the ball. Got to go to hole strong on that last play not fading away -- but hey it was bang bang,, when things are going bad- everything goes against you I didn't think he was fading away, just a bit off balance. (just rewatched it a bunch of times) Bundu had to come from half way up and outside the opposite side of the lane to make the block after guarding the inbounder (Clareth). It was a hell of an athletic defensive play. It was a fun game filled with some unbelievable plays down the stretch. The save by Bundu that ended up in the 3 for Q to take the lead. Penn's unbelievable steal/pass to Clareth for the dunk. The block. Those are 3 very memorable plays. |

The fact that a road team, that played man all game, only had 3 team fouls with 2 min left is a joke. We didn't go 2-for-1 with like :50 left, and that bothered me. Dunleavy was going to foul because he knew he could, so we had to drive hard until they got that 6th foul.

Presser? I do not even know what you guys are talking about? As far as throwing kids under the bus, I see it differently. I see it as holding players responsible. As long as it is not done maliciously or disrespectfully, I do not have a problem with a coach naming a specific player for making a mistake or playing poorly. How about Pastos taking responsibility for being out coached by a Rookie? |

Happened to get in the car last night just as Will Brown was getting interviewed on the radio following the loss to Hartford. He said "the other team wanted it more than we did, the other team played tougher than we did, that is all on the coach, that is all on me". I couldn't help but laugh, so opposite of Jimmy who would have been throwing kids under the bus one by one.

Ah yes, we should totally strive to be at the level of a department that had its head basketball coach suspended for violating NCAA rules and is currently under investigation for violating Title IX. |

OI, seems gold may be one to the ones who think Siena can do no wrong. If your a BB fan than you have to admit WB is a decent coach, knows the x and o's, good recruiter. Most Siena fans that know BB would give anything to have him coaching at Siena. |

Most Siena fans that know BB would give anything to have him coaching at Siena. As I said, it was sarcasm. Brown is really solid coach who finds a lot of undervalued guys and turns them into really good players. Charles, Cremo, Stire, and Campbell (4 starters) had a combined 1 offer other than Albany (Cambell had 1 from Binghamton, that’s it). He does a really good job. That said, Brown had 4 straight .500 or below seasons (including a 7-25 in the 3rd year) after going to the NCAA’s for the first two times. Would he have survived that at Siena, where expectations are higher? This is a fair question. He then adjusted, getting more JUCO and opening the Aussie pipeline, and he’s won big. |

As far as WB at Siena, depending on leeway they gave him for recruits would dictate how well he would do. If he went in with Fran M attitude he would do well, JP attitude of not making waves everyone is your friend not to well. UA gives WB a lot of leeway, unlike Siena AD and admin |
