Siena vs Manhattan

[IndianSaint]

Lady Saints plying well; lead Manhattan 33-32 at the half. Would have been 33-29 it not for Davis’s three point heave at the buzzer.

If they keep this up they have a great shot at an upset against a good women’s team.

This inspire if three Saints in foul trouble.

Hankla, we miss you here; the refs are killing us by not calling fouls booth ways. 🙂

That was a rough 3rd quarter.

Neither team could make a shot.

Manhattan switched to zone and we struggled.

Game tied at 40.

Maybe time to press and get TOs and fast breaks.

Let’s Go Saints.

Wow!!!

What a finish.

After going scoreless for the 1st 5 mins of the 4th qtr & losing 40-45, the Lady Saints hold Manhattan to two points and out scotes them 13-2 in that last 5 mins.

Great game, good upset against a good Manhattan team.

Go Saints!!!

This is good to see. The first 10 games were brutal. But he made some changes and results are happening.

Interesting he noted there was drama on the team.

It’s women, I would be surprised if there wasn’t any drama. 😂

Just kidding women.

Yeah, it sounds like the players are finally buying into his teachings/game plan.

Good things are coming for the women’s program. Just be patient but after three years we’ll start to be regulars in the hunt for MAAC titles.

It’s coming just might take a season longer than expected.

Go Saints!!!

Coincidence?

Siena ends two games in a row on 13-2 runs.

If this happens again, I’ll have to start calling them 13 & 2. 🙂

I’m confused I thought you were referring to a 13-2 record for remainder of MAAC games 😇

That too (going 13-2) would be great.

I just can’t recall ever hearing about a team ending a game in a 13-2 run back to back before. That’s pretty amazing.

Siena Women in sole possession of 5th place in the MAAC with only two losses.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious and great if after going 0-10 they finish in the top 3-5 of the MAAC?

Indian Saint you are a great and loyal fan of the Lady Saints. I checked out this game for some time past the first half on ESPN 3 and listened up to the Jaspers five point lead on the radio. I had something to do and missed the 13 to 2 closing run which is miraculous considering the rest of the game. I think if I attended the game in person I would have been at the box office trying to get a refund. Manhattan didn't impress me as a supposed top MAAC
team. They may have been missing some outside shooters. However in checking out their players and looking at the game stats there were a few reasons to believe they could be very good. First they used four players 6' 1" or taller. They had 51 rebounds to Siena's 29. Most of the Jasper scoring I saw resulted from their tall players shooting over Siena's shorter guards. When the Jaspers were fouled they made 89% of their free throws. Over all the field goal
percentages were terrible Manhattan 24% and 12% from three; Siena 34% and 19% from three. Jaspers had 22 turnovers to only 14 for the Saints. Hopefully, the Saints women's and men's teams can continue late game magic.

Let me just say, if people don’t purchase season tickets this year or next year; by 2023-24 the only seats available will be the non-chair back bleacher sections because they’ll be so good.

Better purchase your tickets now buddy.
