Not a good night for the turkey board. Time to put that to bed. We had at least three turkeys, that I counted, plus at one point we were one stop away from a “monster” (5 in a row) but fouled and they made two FTs.

We knew there were going to be a lot of tough moments this year but I'm proud of how hard these kids are playing. Good times will be coming. Also, as someone has already mentioned, Burns will add another quality player to the rotation. If he can give us 8-12 pts., 7-9 rebounds, and 2,3 assists a game, we might win a few more games in the MAAC.

Random thoughts:
Undermanned! This is a rag tag bunch and time after time JC falls just short, it’s really a testament to how good a coaching job he’s really doing. Pickett is unbelievable he has such a solid all around game. Pickett is JC’s version of Fran’s Hasbrouck.
Fisher has definitely benefited from playing in the paint. His game has really improved.
Sloan on a good team wouldn’t have been forced into action at this rate. His role should have been more of a shooter off the bench and logging less time.
I was hoping the Romanian kid was going to be able play, now I’m betting he isn’t on the roster next year.
TH jr is just in over his head.
Burns is going to give this group a major lift.
Smithen? What the hell happened? Who’s corn flakes did he pee in?

Three pointers need to fall from Seymour (3 out of 13) and free throw shooting was bad 13-21. Next. vs. Harvard, 3 pm, Saturday December 1st (No stream has been announced) On the positive side, he went 2 for 3 after his 1 for 10 start. That 2-3, the one he missed was HUGE! Would have made it 81-78.

The better Pickett looks the more looks he's going to get. He is a stud. Winning might help keep him around. That’s what the few who deep down really want JC to fail are surely hoping for now isn’t it? Those posts aren’t hard to spot.

And you can sense the disappointment of the select few when we added burns.

Exactly, moral victory. Not only did we hold them under 100 but we covered the spread. Edited: also a moral victory was getting down by 20 or 21 then making a comeback to get within 6 w/minute to go (even with all this supposedly D2 talent). If I were Hofstra, picked 3rd in CAA couldn’t put Siena a D2 team away and had to make unbelievable contested shots the last 5 mins of the game - then they have nothing to be proud about. They should have won by 20+, but they couldn’t. Moral victory!

I don’t have any inside info but I would assume KS most likely has a minor injury that’s limiting his playing time, I’m sure he’ll be back once healthy (assuming it’s an injury thing).

No waiting for Rivers, besides I would have lost the bet because I would have taken the greater odds/payout betting on Siena to win straight up on this game. I really thought we’d win this one.

I loved the fight that I saw tonight after getting behind as big as the team did. Pickett appears to be the most consistent player on the team and Fisher has been excellent over the last couple of games. With that being said, tonight was a perfect example of just not having enough guys to complete the comeback and get the win. I'm very excited to see Burns get on the court and play but until he gets here there need to be guys that step up other than Pickett and Fisher. Sammy has been good over his last couple games but unfortunately has gotten into foul trouble. Lack of consistency overall and production from the bench have been killers for the team so far. I like the progress that the team is making so far and hopefully can be both competitive and successful when MAAC play starts. Go saints!

Who expected better than this at this point in time, it is what it is..... as expected.
I like that we’ve been competitive in almost every outing and we don’t quit and I like the coaching.
Things will improve.
