Siena Basketball: GMAC / Blackwell / AO

To be honest I thought Siena was toast after Merrimack took a 7 point lead with about 9 minutes left in the game. Siena didn’t take back a lead by 2 until just a little over a minute to go in the game. I was actually surprised they had clawed back to get it to OT. Siena had no one who could contain that Kennedy kid from Merrimack.

Kennedy will be playing at a much higher level next year. He's a protypical Philly guard. Not much off an outside shot, but is great at changing speeds with a great hesi move to get the defender off balanced.

Really good win against St. Peter’s. Now tied with Saint Peter’s for second in the conference
Makes 19 wins on the year.
Two games left against Fairfield and Rider.
Hope they get 20 wins!

Gerry won't be happy. Siena was coasting with a 20 point lead in the 2nd half and then got a little sloppy and St. Peter's closed it to 8 with under two minutes to go. Coyle banked in a three and that sealed the victory.

But it was a huge win and they are tied for 2nd and are now 19-10 with two winnable games left.

They played against each other in high school and both committed to Merrimack out of high school. Clark portalled to Seton Hall before Clark or they would have been teammates at Merrimack.Those Philly pgs and players are tough - Miss seeing them at SU.

Yeah, I do think Philly ballers are built a little different and they give us something we struggle to find from other players from other places. But the Philly guys, especially the guards, seem to have an edge to them.

What is so nice is the winning culture and can do attitude Gerry has built at Siena.
And I loved how he recognized that there could be a letdown after Fridays overtime loss so he made them play pressing defense from the start .

Gerry really thinks about how to adapt to every changing situation.
That’s what good coaches can do.

Siena having a good record on Sundays? Divine-Like when you consider the type of school they are.

Lonnie Walker
Isaiah Wong
Ja'Quan Newton
Wooga Poplar
Jalil Bethea all wound up at Miami with Larranaga and his Philly assistants.
This drove me crazy that these kids wound up at that hoops wasteland playing before 3000 people. I am sure Heat culture exists but as a former Dade County resident, admittedly 40 years ago, none exists in the community.

End of rant!!
