Subject: Re: tonight's game Author: Red Fox 5 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:36:57 01/15/09 Thu In reply to: Vermonster 's message, "tonight's game" on 21:32:46 01/15/09 Thu Thanks for the kind words MTS and Tony. This was a tough one to swallow. Aside from Marist bombing at the line I have to give credit to Downey. Very impressive young player. His shots at the end of regulation were huge for you guys.

[> Subject: Re: tonight's game Author: Yankee [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:05:50 01/15/09 Thu I will not say Marist choked this game away because that would take credit away from how well Marist played and the incredible clutch play of Siena at the end. Instead I will just focus on things that stood out to me from both teams. For Marist: I now believe in them more than I ever have. They will be a tough game for anyone the rest of the season. Everyone played their butts off, great defensive intensity. Hall is gonna be a star. Devezin shined at times, I loved his aggressiveness this game. Parris is a top defender and tough on the boards. He is underrated. Schneider is much better on the boards than I ever thought he could be this year. Kaylen Gregory has proven he deserves meaningful minutes, he has great touch on his outside shot and that alley-oop slam was a beauty, almost broke my leg jumping in the stands. Bauer is their best inside guy, he needs the important minutes. Only negatives would be Williams hands. They are really really bad. Marist can use this as a learning experience with how the game ended. They are young, and Chuck will focus on the positives I believe. Great game from Marist. Siena-Rossiter has improved LEAPS AND BOUNDS. Great interior moves, plays tougher than his size. Franklin beast inside getting to the line. Downey maybe with the most clutch play at the end of the game in the history of McCann. He is a star in the making. He stays calm, even when he is making great plays, doesn't go nuts. Not only offensively, but he blocked a three by Goodwin. He was the difference. I am as impressed with him as I was with Machado. Negatives would be Ubiles was not in game today, Hasbrouck seems less confident. INCREDIBLE JOB by the Siena fans who traveled to the game. I know some might say they are close, but it is a Thursday night and it is freezing. They were loud and their were a lot of them. Overall, great game. Their are a lot of positives to be taken from this for Marist. I know longer consider them just a nuisance team. They have a legitimate shot to cause trouble in the MAAC tourney. Siena with an absolute clutch performance at the end.
