Q,

Agree that Jordan/Max matchup could be the key. But I don't think that the Stags will just low post Maxwell. It might come down to who sets up Max/Jordan better..... Han or Mensah.

In prior years I think Goode/Kudjo would put a lot of pressure on a Mensah/Fisher/Beers backcourt, but I don't know if we have shown that we can do that this year. Much of that is because we had to help down low because of the Height mismatches. But no height mimatches this game, so no excuse for Stags not covering the arc.... at least I hope not.

The other aspect is Todd has won 2 games for us with brillant 2nd halves.... so Todd's offense is a key, and I wonder if Mensah would be on him..... he is you best guard defender, right?????

the Saints will mix up the defenses a bit: some zone, some 1/2 court or 3/4 court pressure and some man, Mensah would be the guy on Todd, and is Siena's best perimeter defender. His defense is directly related to how effective he is on offense. If he is getting to the rim and finishing, he's a great defensive player. If he struggles on offense, his defense suffers.

With Mensah in the game, Siena hasnt had problems with pressure defense, he has been really really good this season with the ball in his hand. When he is able to get in the lane for either layups or kickouts, Siena is pretty good ...

it all comes down to us stopping them from scoring and we have rarely done that this year. against csun we did, and was that just an anomoly or was it really due to maxwells return and middleton. i am not convince of anything until i can see it, and we do it for a few games in a row. also, breaking any losing streak is a mind game, and our 0-4 at ahy has got to put some added pressure on us. winning 2 in a row would go a long way to restoring my confidence.
