I’m always super optimistic and say stuff like this all the time and I’m probably only right less than half the time in these dire situations. Here’s the text I sent out to 3 or 4 people last night a little after 7:30: “When Siena wins this game tonight; it’ll be one of their greatest wins in Siena history!!! Trying to predict the future here. 🙂” Then I posted the following but obviously got this wrong and for good reason (because it was a TEAM effort win last night): “ Mevius, needs to take over the game and score 40+ in Siena’s win!!!” Think about what had to happen after TS fouled out: Brown was left to not only play the entire 4th quarter and IT w/o any substitution but was also playing with 4 fouls the entire 2nd half it could easily been four against 5. It sounded (I was listening in radio) like ES amass gassed/tired playing so much more than normal (heck this could apply to 5 of the players). Three freshmen (LG, EM, TS & SW) including seldom used Savannah Wilson playing above their years staying composed and gutting out this win (4 of the 6 players were freshman and the other two sophomores). Man, this team is going to be real good!!! Heck, they’re real good now! Coach Primm and staff keeping cool under pressure and helping the players keep their heads during this entire game!!! I can’t say enough about how proud I am of this team and win under such adversity. |

Correction score was 55 to 51. Amazing. Since I was listening to the radio (delay) and watching the ESPN app live score updates; ESPN had called the game at 53-51 but the radio announcers were saying the refs were watching replay of the last play and maybe we’re going to call a foul against Siena which may allow a tie and 2nd OT. But the call actually went against FF and Siena made two more FTs and tine ran out on FF. |

To win with 29 turnovers is a miracle. Are any of the injured/sick players going to back for Saturday's game? Last coach had her most successful year with only (7?) players. Kind of disappointing when team started the year with 16 players.

Kind of disappointing when team started the year with 16 players. I sure hope so (that some of the players will be available for Saturday). We might need at least 8 this time to upset the 1st place Gals. 🙂 |
