So far this ugly gave to watch. Undermanned. No McCollum no Rogers. Not good. I think McCollum has a another concussion and Rogers had COVID. Carm hopes to have him back for Friday’s game.

Put on your old green bonnet With the yellow ribbon on it And we'll drink six friars to the grave Though we ain't got knowledge We're a damn good college S-I-E-N-A
Thanks Nick Hopkins!
Next: @ Marist, Friday January 14th, 7 pm, ESPN3

I’d rather have Mahala in than Johnson I’d rather have Johnson than Gaines. What? Are you serious?

If JM really has another concussion, he should call it a career. No need to risk his long term well being. That said, I hope it’s NOT a concussion for his sake and ours.

Part of it may be the hype that he was getting but I can’t stand watching him be so careless with the ball with flicks and spin passes and nonchalant dribbling. For a 5th year captain, he makes more rookie mistakes than most true freshmen. It drives me CRAZY!!!

Certainly sounds like it could be another concussion. Maybe because Colby’s out leading scorer (as to why he specifically mentioned him in the post game interview). Look, I don’t have any inside info but I believe it’s COVID protocol versus concussion protocol. JMO I thought I read or heard something that said he & Rigers were on COVID protocol not concussion protocol.

We were about 10 minutes in and Fairfield had only scored from the line or on Gaines. Glad to get the win though, didn't get the double digits I was hoping for but without Rogers and McCollum I will forgive them.

I do agree that I too have expected more out of him than what he’s shown the 1st part of the season. I think we’ll see more flashes of what we were expecting come Feb & Mar (at least I’m hoping for that). I just wouldn’t trade him for Johnson. Maybe Johnson’s better than I’m giving him credit for but it almost seems like Johnson’s a TO that waiting to occur. I can’t remember any other player who’s dribbled the ball off his foot more than him and he’s only played in limited mins this season. I like Johnson but his play drives me crazy some times. 🙂

I got crapped on here for calling it a garbage recruitment, and now everyone seems to agree with me.

Covid, weather, football, what’d you expect? Had none…but I have never seen it this dead. On top of it all it was Autism awareness Day where sound levels were supposed to be down and no flashing lights. Any thing that can be done to prevent a college basketball atmosphere is done in the building regardless of what the name of it is. One spectator encountered me at halftime. He was sitting four rows in front of me but accused me of yelling in his ear. Thank God the refs got a little more competent ( or honest) in the second half. I wonder if there will be a death from DWI day this year. It always contributes to crowd excitement. There are too many spectators that haven't seen a college basketball game anywhere but on Pearl Street. Siena games atmosphere is the opposite of many arenas I have been to or seen on TV (Cameron).

I would take Gaines over Johnson but twice in the second half he gave up offensive rebounds on missed free throws because he didn’t even attempt to box his man out. Inexcusable.

Nobody wanted to have a beer with me. Saved me a ton of money. Thanks. Perfect opponent to play today. How the hell did they win 8 games?

Gritty win today - esp defense. That can win games.
Hopkins was tough - with the points, rebounds and steady leadership - no turnovers. Four guys in double figures. Stormo and Gaines playing quiet but did the job. Billups continuing to mature and showing his athleticism. And even thought defense knows Carp only goes right, he's STILL tough to stop - althuigh needs to find others and not get out of control. Hoping he improves there - but the defense has to respect him. But still no turnovers. Alth9ough others need to clean that up and watch the lazy passes.
All that said - nice, gritty win with leading scorer and key PG out after that LOOONG layoff!
(Last minute decision but I did end up going. Glad I did.)
(Aside - not blaming the refs but several very questionable calls - esp on Gaines - the charge and his 4th foul.)
