If we’re going to say Siena was without 3 starters. Duke was without 2. Lot easier for a 16 seed to get up to play a 1 seed then the other way around.You don't think that playing 3 guys down didn't have anything to do with that? See I do. He coached an exhausted team against a great team. And his team was right there. We can spin this anyway anyone wants to. But this board had a season long love affair with a coach whose team didn't show for most of the game today. And have also crapped on Gerry all year. We saw them both in their most important games of the season. Gerry is limited with this team because they can't shoot. It's tough to run great sets when you can't shoot. Now, I want to see Gerry, as I have said all year, what he can do without Doty. But he has my great respect right now.
I said I was impressed with Siena and their fight. I just was also not surprised by the lack of offensive sets to get open shots in the second half.
