Siena Basketball: GMAC / Blackwell / AO

GMAC has done a great job, lots of folks keep referencing that poll of coaches saying that Siena is the best job in the MAAC and using that to step on Gerry’s accomplishments. First 20 plus win season in 10 years and one win from their first NCAA bid in 16 years. 3 win team before he got there. Doing this currently with 7 scholarship players available. We can walk and chew gum at the same time: He is not the guy we should hire at this time but he has done a hell of a job at Siena and deserves a lot of credit
 
They have played Merrimack twice this year.
Lost to them by 4 at home and then lost to them at Merrimack in overtime.
So, the game should be very competitive.
As JB used to say, it is hard to beat the same team 3 times in one year.

Gerry also seems to know how to identify and recruit freshman talent.
Doty was rejected by Red but was on the all rookie team last year and first team all MAAC this year.
Second in player of the year voting.
Francis Folefac is on the all rookie team this year.
And Gerry has signed Ryan Moesch for next year, a four star point guard ranked 14th PG in the country by 247 sports.
Supposedly the highest ranked recruit in Siena history.

That is an awful good core for next year - imagine the teams current success will do wonders for interest in the transfer portal for Siena.

Hopefully, AW will step up again to fund the NIL for Doty - and perhaps Folefac and Moesch as well.
 
Shoats has been very good in the tournament to help Doty who is consistently better than good. The Frosh big and the other big who usually is a stiff (IMHO) have been solid as well. Merrimac has not looked great in the tourney but the zone is tough - Gerry said it at the half yesterday and it's basketball 101 - if they make shots they got a chance.

The league just reupped with AC but that tournament was a lot better, in terms of energy, in Albany.
