Siena Basketball: GMAC / Blackwell / AO

[CuseBlood44]

Huge shots. Gallo likely to be BC’s next coach

 

[sufan59]

OT

 

[Bulldog04]

Why not call timeout there ? That was dumb

 

[hoopsupstate]

Absolutely horrible final possession for Siena. No movement and zero penetration by the dribble or pass.

 

[CuseBlood44]

Draw something up Gerry

I'm guessing he was saving it in case the guys got in trouble.

Doomed from the start. Coulda called timeout with 10-12 seconds left after seeing the play was dead 10 seconds into trying to get it going

There’s 10 seconds left when they coulda called one after the initial debacle…And they weren’t trapping

a lot of coaches don't call time there. jb didn't always. one because of what you said but also the coach doesn't want the defense to set something up either.

 

[sufan59]

Merrimack would be a low major that would keep it close against us… just saying lol. They look very athletic and that zone defense is not a joke.

 

[rrlbees]

the bigger question is who are all the kids on siena's bench holding clip boards? lol.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Gallo running good offense down the stretch. A little tougher against that zone. Their wings are so much better than SU’s dropping down to help.

Game

 

[Cusefan0307]

Didn’t watch, but Shoats fouling out in 11 minutes is crazy and basically the ball game.

Probably all the injured players out for the season - they have a bunch. Jones, Goodrick, Schlager and Ducharme. They may have given starting pg Shoats who fouled out tonight in about 11 minutes a clip board too.

I think the world of Gerry and have watched every Siena game that he has coached. He did a great job tonight, until he didn't. Thats what people don't realize. You just can't hand him the keys to the Dome because he played there. He needs more experience. Especially in tight games. There are a few I would think he would want to do over.

i think the 2nd half they really missed not having another ball handler with choates.

I'm curious why he sat the backup PG, Christian Jones in the end of the 2nd half and OT and went with Henderson instead and just have Doty play PG.

Jones didn't do too bad replacing Shoates in the first half, although he couldn't guard Kennedy. He chose Henderson for his D, instead of Jones for his O. And as good as Doty is, he's really not a PG.

They not only don’t have a point guard, they don’t really have a big man at all. Mulvey isn’t an answer, their center, 6’10” Goodrick has been out for the season since December. They are playing a bunch of guards, small forwards. Folefac, the 6’7” freshman, 6’6” Chandler and 6’5” sophomore Doty are their “big men”.

Also for the number of guards they have none are statistically good 3 point shooters.

And Folefac didn't even start the first nine games of the season until Goodrick got injured.

Same for Doty last year. He only started the 2nd half of the season when they had injuries.

Thank goodness for both players.

Shoats was better last year and what size they do have stinks. Gerry was not great tonight.
