advantage defensive good job missed mistakes open pay shots took
We missed some defensive assignments, and they took advantage of that. They made some shots and got some open looks. Canisius is very good on the perimeter, and they penetrate and do a good job of passing. Give Canisius credit, we made some mistakes and they made us pay for it.
great half inside job post stayed stop terrific
We stayed in a man-to-man and Siena had terrific post play (in the first half). We made some adjustments in the 2nd half and we did a great job to stop their inside game.
beat best team win
I think they're, by far, the best team in the MAAC. If you want to win this conference, you're going to have to beat them, one way of the other.
business came care coming enter great losing minds program streak trying
Siena has a great program and their losing streak did not enter our minds at all coming into this game. We came in trying to take care of business and play hard.
cut fighting fights-and-fighting great kept lead resilience
We were down 21 and we kept fighting back. We showed great resilience to cut the lead to six.
basketball fought goal hard minutes together
We put together 40 minutes of hard fought basketball and that was our goal all season.
best defense focus fun half playing second start turn
We started out a little slow, so in the second half we had to focus on defense and getting into transition. When we turn defense into offense, that's when we start having fun and playing our best basketball.
company deny farm position
Our position was that any company can do what they want, as long as they don't deny a pre-existing farm from its water.
time
They made some big shots. They made 3s. And at this time of year, those 3s will kill you.
deeper execution score worked
Half-court execution is something we've worked on. We still look to run, but as you get deeper into the MAAC, you have to score in the half-court.
build coming credit fought kept kids next
Can we make it a best-of-three next year? I credit our kids for coming back. We were down by 25 ... and we fought and fought and fought and just kept coming back. We'll try to build on that for next year.
game time track win
Any time you win a game on the road, it's huge. We wanted to get back on track with this game and we accomplished that goal.
