This board is manic. One game at a time. Let's take the next 3 or 4 one at a time and see how they go.. Important stretch.

If it is all on nico then it's time to not recruit players that were previously suspended in high school. If it's all on Nico you don't wait 17 games to do something about it... The reasons above have more to do with the success than one missing player. After all he was on the roster for 2 of the last 3 wins. Or maybe, if you’re JP, you give a kid an opportunity to turn it around and make sure he knows that you are sticking by him even at his lowest point? But that doesn’t fit into the narrative.

If he's that much of a disruptive factor no you do not wait. You make your point quickly and decisively. He needed to know there were clear consequences for not being a team player. You don't let something fester for 17 games.

3 cheers and all other accolades to the fantastic fans that made the bus trip or otherwise made the trip to Fairfield. Bring us home a win! I told Frank that he was smart not selling out the bus, this way we had room to bring that big "W" home with us. Hey, we can say we were actually there today when Siena made history; when the men got there first road win of the 2016-17 season!!! Feels good. It's also amazing just how much better those victory beers and pizza taste too!!! Go Saints!!!

We out rebounded them and we shot 18-22 from line. We will be right there in every game if we do that despite not shooting well

Nice road win, team chemistry noticeably better- more balanced shooting- Oneindian- reason for better Brett , he is getting better looks without Nico chucking up a shot that he more often than not missed. Smithin, Richard and Shivers playing with more confidence not looking over their shoulder. Team isnt as talented without Nico, but definitely more fun to watch as they are playing "team" ball Tony Brett is playing better because he looks much better physically, he's moving a lot better. Sorry but Brett's play over the past few games has little to do with Nico and more to do with looking more like the old Brett. We can agree to disagree, Brett getting the ball in position to score- without Nico chucking ball early in shot clock- how many 15 foot jumpers did Brett get today-- most of them plays they ran for him deep into shot clock. He wouldn't get those shots with Nico in game

Pretty good half. Defending pretty well. FF helping by clanking 3's approx 10% I agree, it seemed we defended the 3 pretty good in the first half. Don't know how much was FF just stinking it up vs Siena's D. But it helped that FF was off.

I too agree, don't believe it's all on Nico; but do believe we seems to play a little better team ball. Love to see Nico get what ever he needs to come back; assuming he can.

All aboard. Jump back on the bandwagon. This is what kills me the most Why would anyone begrudge fans for being excited about a 3 game winning streak ... one that has propelled them into a tie for 4th place in the MAAC?

Given that we've been playing much better the past three games pretending all is well and the cancer has been cleared after one win without Nico on the roster is completely and utterly foolish. If you think all of this teams short comings over the past 17 games hinged on Nico you're crazy.
Let's take one game at a time. The next few are important and I don't want to see this team look ahead. Stay focused and keep a workman like attitude.

Combine the two and say Siena's D screwed up the Stag's O - great game as we got a lot of effort and hoop from a lot of guys!

That's the best you can do, a bait post? Nice one. No bait, you keep hating G. It fits you. Not that Gorvy needs anyone defending him but I found all of his posts on this thread to be positive. I can't remember the last time I've "liked" so many posts in a game thread, it's been that long. Feels great though!!!

All aboard. Jump back on the bandwagon. Wait, jump back on; what are you talking about? I didn't know I was supposed to have gotten off earlier. No body tells me anything. Oh well, good thing I stayed on because I already have my seat in the wagon.
