Overall a decent season... The team did regress towards the end of the year but they should be strong next year- When Wright came back from injury he wasn't the same player- We gotta put more focus on D next year...

Decent year.
I was kinda taken back when Manning said there was "groups" in this team- not good.
Rebounding killed us and stealing killed us.
Next year questions...
How will the sophomores develop? Not just Nico- I want to see how Fisher, LaRose, Wormley all grow. If they can average a 2+ points each, we're going to be tough to beat next year.
I've heard that Smithen is a good defensive player, but how is he offensively?
Will the Flying Dutchman give us a boost?
Will Richards and Huerter help us any?
Can we learn how to limit turnovers? Stealing defenses murder us (Iona and Monmouth).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See ya around the offseason, folks. Maybe I'll head to Kansas next year :-).

This team WAY more athletic than us. We ll be very fortunate to pull this out. Tough end to a good season. But a season we'll wonder about what if. After we smoked Rider on the road on Feb. 19 we were 19-9 and in good shape for second seed. We finished 2-4 down the stretch and our defense was very poor. We were a KenPom top 100 defensive team for most of the year and just feel off the cliff the last six games. Marquis was never the same coming back. Give credit to Morehead State - they wanted it more and deserved to win. They killed us on the glass despite our size something that never happens to us. Thanks for Ryan and Imoh. Ryan had a very nice game tonight. Of course I wanted to win tonight and every game but maybe winning another CBI would not have been the best thing. The goal is now to win the MAAC championship. 21-13 good bounce back year but we want to be a truly special team. Hopefully next year with four talented seniors and Nico that will come to fruition. Bright future but much work to be done.

Team has a lot of work to do- we were a good team—turned the ball over way too much all year and against good teams you can’t do that. We need to get more athletic and most importantly more disciplined. Tonight Morehead state just wanted game more- turnovers killed us, and hats off to Morehead state they made their free throws- they were better team tonight

If you didn't care about Siena being in this tournament
If you didn't care about going tonight.
You shouldn't care about them losing.
Nice season boys. I see big things for next season.

Morehead was way more athletic like HJ said. Way too many turnovers. Crowd was pathetic.

Considerably more on the 105 side maybe revise total to 2k . Nailed it. That and with the loss I saved about 200 in tickets and bad arena food #silver lining

JP had a nice season. I couldn't care less they lost tonight. I thought it was a terrible idea from the beginning.

Too many TO and got killed on the boards. A recipe for disaster. Athleticism cannot be overrated despite what some here seem to think. Morehead St. was the more athletic team and the result shows that. Good season, entertaining game, but a big disappointment in the Siena "fan" base, who didn't care enough to show up to support the team. Well now for the long offseason. See you next year.

JP had a nice season. I couldn't care less they lost tonight. I thought it was a terrible idea from the beginning. The Iona game hurt...this game was more frustrating. I wanted to win but the feeling about the CBI was nothing like two years. Coming off the MB error that run was fun. This was meh...and the team showed it. Of course we're not a BCS program so any postseason is good but next year if I'm Siena I'm only playing in the NCAA or NIT next year. Hopefully we can win both the regular and tournament championships but winning at least one is a must (if I had to pick the tournament of course). JP proved he could lead Siena to a top 3 finish and a solid 21 win season. Now the next step is winning the conference and winning 25-27 games. Have to address the turnovers and get more athletic. Hopefully guys like Smithen, WB, Joseph and Richard help with that to go with JO, Brett, 'Quis, Nico and Lavon. Defense needs to be what it was earlier in the year. More athletic teams probably was the reason the defense went downhill more than anything else.

I wonder if thye include the suite holders in the final attendance? We didn't have to pay for tickets, so do we count on the final tally or not?
