Siena Saints ‏sienasaints 16m

We're tied 48-48 at under-16 of 2nd. Poole and Bisping adding to their totals. Poole has gotten all the minutes as back-up PG last 2 nights.

Captain Poole doing some work tonight.

Good win by the team...yeah they are just exhibition games against teams they should beat but winning any games should give a young team a lot of confidence. Poole will be our leader this season and Jason Rich said in another tweet that Lavon has been the best player on the trip!! He will be an impact freshman for sure! Very excited about this team..we will have some ups and downs but it's going to fun to follow and root these guys on!

My question, if wright was out due to foul trouble and Poole was the pg, who was playing the 2 and 3 spots? They must have done an adequate job to stay close
Adu, Oliver or both ?

I bet Oliver started there again and I would guess Lavon played the 3 when wright was out....I wonder who finished the last 4 min when Lavon fouled out...cant wait to see the box score...this team has options

Box Score:

grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/sien/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/2013-14/release/release_20130828aaa.pdf

Wright still had 9 pts, 2 steals, 5 assists, 3 turnovers despite sitting with fouls most of 2nd half.

Imoh Silas majorly in the doghouse. 4 turnovers in limited time, come on.

1 for 7 from three as a team and still won. Typical Jimmy Loyola magic from last year.

Oh and no pushups needed for Lavon tonight.

This was a game where we would have really needed Hymes to stifle their press if it was a better team.

That's right KK...I was not happy with the 4-8 so far....I told him today he is better than that and needs to concentrate and make them all...he said ok

A few thoughts and questions, in no particular order and directed to no one in particular:

--Do these Quebecois refs just really like the sound of their own whistles, or are we playing a little fast and loose yet? Hopefully that should come together with time (or with the East Coast refs that are employed by the MAAC).

--Was this game, unlike the others, played under NCAA rules with a 35 second shot clock? If so, I like the final score.

--Did Wolfe make the trip? Has he gotten any playtime in any of these games yet?

Looking like Oliver and Audu are going to be contributors. Silas going backwards is worrisome. If that keeps up then it is nice to know Lavon, JO, and Bisping are all looking good and could man the inside for this season while Wolfe redshirts.

If Silas really does go backwards, I don't think they can afford to redshirt Wolf. They'll need the extra body.

[hockeyguy]

Hard not to like Bispings numbers in this game. Other than T/0's gotta love Poole, even playing PG...(and Lavon, great numbers). Maybe Wolfe or JO can step up... they are young, but with an inside contributor this team looks to have a lot of potential, even this year. Have to wonder at the fouls, maybe it was "older guys" getting beat and hacking with "retaliation" by the Siena kids. Gotta keep your cool, comes with experience. Off to a good start, some questions answered, some questions raised. Let's see what Wednesday brings.

In all due respect I hope not....at this rate Lavon will be a center again...smh I hope Silas gets it together

[siena12077]

I would wait to see what Silas does with the coaching staff in practices and a few ooc games under his belt. I just wonder how many of his turnovers are traveling violations? He really could use help with his footwork, positioning and general feel for the game. All should improve with strong coaching and hard work put in.
