Actually it was Siena who outscored Canisius 61-56 in the 2nd half, but some of their points came after the game was decided.

This was arguably Siena's worst game of the year, after their best game of the year.

Canisius jumped out to a 17 point lead in the 1st half, and Siena got it back down to 10 at halftime.  After the half, Canisus went back up to 17 until Siena could chisel away.  But then they went back up by 19 after a six point possession, due to a foul, a technical and a basket.  With four minutes to go, Siena was still down by 16.

In the 1st half, Siena played this terrible defense where the automatically switched on every defensive possession when one of Canisius players set a pick.  They switched back to a conventional pressing defense in the 2nd half, and as good as the defense was Friday against Niagara, Nothing worked against last place Canisius.

Canisius, on defense, played that clutching and grabbing defense that Syracuse always had problems with against Louisville and Ohio State.  Siena had a huge height advantage but couldn't take advantage of it.

Here is the T-U article on the game.
