Well, White showed us what he can do. He plays D, hustles, and gets to the line.
We had a great first 10 mins.
Wright and White should not be taking 9 3 pointers a game though. They just aren't shooters.
Lavon didn't get the ball enough on offense, but he's got to make his free throws.
Hymes couldn't get open from the offense and was forcing it but if we're gonna take threes it needs to be him, Poole and Bisping.
White is great when he's getting to the line but we need shots to fall.
Don't know how this offense thing is gonna shake out now.
The team hustles. We blocked a ton of shots. But we didn't get steals.

Tough loss...especially tough being up 16 in the first half. Give UA credit they don't have a ton of talent but their pieces fit well. I give our guys credit we could have easily gotten blowout getting down 11 but re-took the lead. The freshmen have a ton of talent but they are still freshmen. We need Poole, Hymes and Silas to play well as upperclassmen. I thought Silas had a solid game...and Poole had a good first half but not much in the second.
Lavon, Marquis, JO and Maurice all looked very good. Lavon does it all..and I love Maurice's toughness and aggressiveness.
If we play this game in January we probably win. Our record could be ugly early in the year but as long as we get better I'll be happy and the wins will come eventually.
Go Saints!

He was good but still shot 3 for 10 and made some mistakes. If you play the 4 freshmen, who shoots from the perimeter? I was scared of shooting and fouls the most. Hasn't changed. I'm more scared now. I might have given Audu some play in this game when the offense stalled. You never know what he's gonna do.

They just aren't shooters. Don't lump in White with Wright--most of White 3 pointers were desperation shots toward end of game Lavon didn't get the ball enough on offense, but he's got to make his free throws. Couldn't agree more we have to run more sets for Lavon in half court Hymes couldn't get open from the offense and was forcing it but if we're gonna take threes it needs to be him, Poole and Bisping. Hymes is not the answer- he was getting beat on defense like it was his job, on offense he is not a two- his minutes need to go down dramatically .. Bisping was almost as bad in man to man defense, Bispoing was much better in zone . Bisping is like a deer in headlights when he has ball- not sure why you think he should be shooting. He can give us some min in a pure role player capacity White is great when he's getting to the line but we need shots to fall. Don't know how this offense thing is gonna shake out now. The team hustles. We blocked a ton of shots. But we didn't get steals. Jimmy is still learning team-- he cant have too many weak offensive players on floor together- we got very little from Hymes- Oliver- Bisping tonight offensively. Play the freshmen- obviously much more talented

First of all, you can't judge by just one game. I like the combo of White and Hymes. There will be days when Hymes is lighting it up from the perimeter. He had a bad game but the half court offense stalled big time and he forced things.
We know he's not a great defensive player but who else can frickin' shoot?

No. White showed a lot of his upside and I was impressed. I didn't expect so much aggression so quick but let's be fair. I don't think he made a single jump shot. They call it "shooting guard" for a reason.

KK-- this is the problem.. this isn't the 1`st time I have seen team. I understand its your first time. Hymes will play..mainly because we have no choice. I'm sure he will have better games than tonight, and in games where he can match up, I'm sure Jimmy will play him. In the half court we need to play our best offensive players- run more sets for Lavon.. he is a load down low and can shoot. White is tough match up, JO is our best offensive center. ( Silas had a good game) Poole is Poole- offense noticeably bogged down when Hymes( I think only shot he hit was a bull shit bank shot 3 pointer) Oliver ( another player that got beat bad in man to man D) I think Jimmy needs to establish Lavon and JO down low, it will open up more shots for Hymes and Poole IF Siena is going to be primarily a man to man defense team- HYmes- Oliver- Bisping will struggle all year, all 3 are not good man defenders..and in Hymes and Bisping case they are downright horrible

They'll be good in time. The free throw shooting does have to improve though. I swear Albany didn't miss one. They were great from the line. This is definitely not Mitch ball. Just need some experience to go with the talent in place.

They call it "shooting guard" for a reason. The offense they ran didnt call for jump shots from white and he actually bailed the team out over and over. If you have any concern outside of hymes being junk it should be Poole. Kid fell on his face how many times? Hymes is responsible for a number of siena players in foul trouble because he needed help like every defensive possession. And that was against AE guards. ogunyemi picked up two because of him Seeing the freshman should make it clear just how bad mitch left this team with "talent"
