That’s a really good win for GMAC. 11 point road dog victory.

Siena last year had fallen to be one of the worst D1 programs in the nation. They were 4-28 overall, 3-17 which was last in the MAAC. They were ranked 353 out of 362 D1 teams end of year net ranking in 2023-2024. GMac and staff are doing a very good job so far.

I never thought being clutch was something you could coach, but there goes GMac creating a team that wins just the way a team full of little GMac's would win.

I finally watched the end of their first game Monday night vs. Brown. Siena was down by 5 with 50 seconds to go in regulation. They made a 2, Brown missed, and Siena brought the ball up down 3 with 20 seconds left. Their best 3-pt shooter put up an awkward shot with 2 seconds left to tie the game. The shot missed but he was fouled. He (Brendan Coyle) made ALL 3 FTs. CLUTCH. Their defense played a big part of thei win in OT. They interviewed GMac on the ESPN+ telecast after the game. He talked very candidly about what they did well and what they did poorly. And he emphasized how well they played defense and how much he emphasizes defense. It was a much more candid interview that you often hear from coaches postgame. It may have been Fran Brown - like.

I caught the end of last night's game. Again CLUTCH. Next game Tuesday night vs. American U. at home. ESPN+

I was surprised that he allows video inside Siena’s lockerroom at halftime and the end of games including his speeches to the team. Very open access to fans, etc regarding his coaching of the team.

I was at the game. Carey had a couple big blocks down the stretch. Had some nice offensive moves also. Last year Siena only won four games. They are now 3-0. Gerry really has these guys buying into what he is selling. Very impressive.
