Anyone available tomorrow around 2:00 is welcome to come and cheer on our Lady Saints.
They’re going to have a tough match up against Manhattan and can use all the support they can get.
Let’s Go Saints!!!

Down 17 with 11:48 left...it was all Saints from that point on!!! Awesome win!!! Anybody have the time left when we went to the 1-3-1?? Had to be close to the 11:48 mark. Happy Birthday, Colby Rogers. Great day to be a Saint!! it was coming out of the 12 min media timeout. They had 50 points at 11:48, and had 52 at 4:48. so a 7 min stretch only scoring one basket. It was an 18-2 run for us. Marist had 10 possessions during the stretch and had 5 turnovers and 5 missed shots.

Game was never in doubt. First four pages or so of this thread reminded me of Scripture "Oh, you of little faith" . Where there is Faith there always is Hope. You are now allowed to skip church this weekend.

Hell of a game. 1-3-1 worked wonders. Billups has quickly become my favorite saint, best defensive player on the team, sneaky athletic and always around the ball. As he matures, his offense will catch up to the rest of the game. Kid is a winner. Thought Baer played some good minutes. Gaines played to his strengths in the second half, rebounding and drawing fouls.
Love the fight of this team.

Just got home from the game!! Freaking unbelievable 2nd half! There were probably about 50 or so Siena fans and they were really into it the 2nd half. The kids never gave up, what a comeback. Halftime I was hoping they would come back at least enough to make it not too embarrassing. These kids really played hard!

Gaines played very well down the stretch. He's an asset as long as doesnt shoot outside of 10 feet.
Baer did a good job being active in the middle of that zone. Stormo would struggle in that spot, and Carm knew that.
The 1-3-1 is a defense Carm played in HS for Coach Zullo. It was his bread and butter. Its a GREAT defense for a team that has long, 6'5" athletes. The tall, active guy on top (Billups) makes it tough to shoot 3s from the key area. Youve got traps in all 4 corners available to you with wings like Gaines and Rogers. Small PG runs the baseline and cuts off any penetration. Ituka, who was unstoppable in the first half really struggled, like the rest of his teammates, with this new look.
Cant tell you how glad I am that they finally are giving opponents a new look and something they'll have to waste time on in practice. Which is what the rest of the MAAC will be doing after seeing this game. The element of surprise has been used! lol
GREAT win tonight! Kids never gave up.

Nice to know we can still take over other teams' courts.

Gaines, Hopkins and Billups are all really smart defenders. And Colby isn’t bad there. Giving them latitude to make decisions and gamble some is a good move.

One HELL of a comeback and MAAC road win for the Saints. Credit to the players for hanging tough despite a very difficult first half and to Carm and his staff for making the correct adjustments to put the team in a position to win. Not sure what was more entertaining, watching the team come back and win or watching the uninformed knuckleheads on here ridiculous posts, criticizing every player and question every decision Carm made. Who looks awful now? It's a 40 minute game. Some of you need to RELAX. Carm is a very good coach and this team has enough talent to compete in the MAAC. It might not always pretty, but this team has some grit and will continue to compete. Go Saints.

Game was won with the starting lineup, saving Rogers for when it mattered most. 😜

For 30 minutes I was screaming at the TV that Gaines has blackmail material on Carm. There’s no other explanation for why a guy that plays so badly gets more minutes than anybody else. Then he played great in the last 10 minutes. Like others have said, if he just plays defense, rebounds and occasionally drives and draws fouls, I’ll be ok with him. Just don’t want to see him dribble, pass or shoot. I’d like to see Kellier get at least 5-10m at the 4 for Gaines.

It’s pretty clear Gaines is Carms favorite. He can do no wrong, but we saw him do plenty wrong the first 30 min! Lol. It seemed like the zone was a Hail Mary (coincided with Baer com in h in) by Carm cause nothing else was working. That’s why he waited til the 12 min mark, Better late than never

Didn't see much of game was working, it was on and saw the beginning wasn't pretty. Nice comeback on the road. Up to 275 in Pomeroy.

Great MAAC win on the road. I couldn’t see the game either. From the sound of this board, these guys seemed to have gone from players who had never seen a basketball before and couldn’t coach a lick to damn good in a pretty short period!
This happens, folks. There are ebbs and flows in games and it’s not like they’re just 5 guys shooting around. There’s 5 other guys out there trying to stop them.
You got to give these guys some support and not give up so easily. With the layoff and additional guys just returning, this takes a bit and you better believe they are putting in the work. Kudos to those who could make it down and cheer these guys on!
