Roman Penn likely done for season

[rpize24]

Unfortunately, Roman Penn was spotted in a walking boot and was on crutches. Per singelais' Twitter he has a cyst in his heel. Don't really need to say it but I will, MASSIVE blow to a team that was already struggling. Time to find a new way to win games. Hope everything goes well and he can get back on the court soon. Get well Roman!

That's too bad. But he should get 100% healthy - he has a bright future ahead of him and this season is a wash.

On the downside (other than Roman's injury) here comes more excuses about injuries. Ugh.

Sorry to hear this. It's next man up tho.

That's a big blow. He was really missed tonight. Get well soon, Roman!

Smithen played the best game of his career tonight. Manhattan isn't good. That's a game we should win. Played a horrible 2nd half.

Really missed? I did not see it. Aside from his rebounding, this team did not look much different than the rest of the season when he was playing, particularly post Nico. Same results. So many similar parts, of equal skill, that not matter who plays you get the same outcome. Hope he fully recovers. This team needs much more than Roman Penn returning to be able to compete in the MAAC.

I don't see more than one more win, two at most... Siena has to decide what kind of a program that they want to be.

Thank You!

I have said this from day one. It's not that Penn does not deserve to play. He just doesn't need to be out there for 40 mins. It hurts the guard rotation. I agree that all 13 on scholarship are about the same. Some do some things better than others. Penn played 36 of the 40 mins of regulation in the triple overtime game. Team scored 40 points. So getting 47 this time without him does not suggest that he was missed much.

Played a horrible 2nd half because Patsos coach a horrible 2nd half.

If the rotation is fixed and settled things would improve

Penn stress injury to heel bone.

Is it me or does it seem like we’ve had more injuries than usual to feet and ankles since switching to UA shoes.

The problem is PPC, HC has not or refuses to let players (well some)become comfortable on the court because he has to be in total control all the time.this causes players unneeded anxiety which hurts development of them.GO SAINTS

[rickyp]

To be in total control but really out of control.
