I think their transfer 7’ center, Riley Mulvey, who was hurt early last game with a concussion was still out.

Yes, the first 3/4ths of the game, Siena struggled with Colgate's two big guys, but then they stopped going inside. But, their one guard, Cox turned his game up, and he ultimately won the game for Colgate.

But, Mulveÿ definitely would have helped.

My friend’s boyfriend is on the coaching staff at Colgate. Happy for them, at least.

Odetoyinbo from Colgate is from my neck of the woods in the north country, 5 blocks off the bench tonight. Never would have imagined him developing him into the player he is. He was extremely uncoordinated and raw early on in HS, then just exploded his junior year while helping Canton get to the final four. Even then I didn't really have him tabbed playing d1, but he kept growing into his body and is seemingly going to have a nice career.

Ugh lost on a half court buzzer beater against Colgate

GMAC has to learn how to teach some half court defense

GMAC has to learn how to teach some half court defense

Im bummed Seina lost but it is kind of funny watching GMac lose on a buzzer beater considering how many times he beat other teams that way. Reminds me of a scene from Family Guy.

Without causing contact or anything that might get a foul called, somehow you have to defend that center circle to prevent a straight on bank shot. 2.7 seconds gave Colgate just enough time to run a great play without feeling rushed. Credit to Colgate. They ran that play to perfection.

Cox, the kid who made the shot, scored 16 of his 22 points in the last ten minutes of the game, but he also had two turnovers in the last 1:13.

Considering Colgate had shot 20% from 3 prior to that shot, I would have given them less than 10% of a chance to make that shot. It was unfortunate for Siena that it banked in.

I think he is proving to be a better recruiter than people thought.

I felt like GMAC was a good recruiter. He just did not have the ability to close on a recruit to get them to commit.

Important distinction.

Well he seems to be able to close the deal now he is the head coach,

if people are rooting for Siena, soley so GMac can come back here to coach next year...then i hope he goes 0-20 the rest of the way out.

if people are rooting for Siena for other reasons...then good.

I so hope he is our head coach next year if Adrian isn’t. Probably more because of this post than anything else.

I believe many of us who are rooting for Siena, including me, are doing so because we're rooting for Gerry to be successful and have a successful career. If one day he returns to coach the Orange, great for him and for us if he's been so successful before that. But not my primary motivation, although I do think he would have better than what we have, and I've believed for 12 years that's who JB really thought should succeed him.

No more former players as head coach at SU.
JB has pretty well buried the program his last 8, and Red's 3 years.
It time to move as far away from JB as we can get.

Just hand GMac the reins for next season, no point dragging it out. Honestly that 2016 Final Four run might’ve been the worst thing to happen to the program. JB was on the way out, and that run gave him more years to ride out the gravy train while the program sank deeper. It bought him time, but it cost us momentum.
