I think all MAAC games are going to be this tight. So we just got to win them..... its all about making plays and we did. We missed a lot without Maxwell, and that is certainly evident with his return.

RF, One question. Our defense.... hiw come we gave up so many 3's?????

The Siena players move the ball well and quickly and scored a number of three pointers while Fairfield played a zone.

Actually, JS Wayne and I were talking about this during halftime. The issue is the defense has been collapsing when the balls goes inside, leaving players wide open on the outside.

It seem to me that when the stags were without Maxwell and Mamadou, O'Toole's game plan was to have the entire defense collapse on an interior pass in order to help defend and to help rebound. Our opponents were then passing the ball out to a perimeter player for a wide open three. Fairfield did this quite a bit in the first half and got burned. They got away from this strategy in the second half.

Defensively the stags need to go back to having everyone play their man. With Maxwell and Mamadou in the middle, I think the guards are going to be able to stay at home a lot more on defense.

While Middleton lacks the defensive intensity of Mamadou, he does seem to have good rebounding and shot blocking abilities. He had two blocks tonight but did not receive credit because both blocks were on plays where the stags fouled.
