Wow. At the start of the season Middleton was barely a D-1 player according to many posters. TOT has oft been criticized for not developing players but here is Middleton blossoming before our eyes. We've seen him grow as a rebounder and a defender and now as a scorer. I think the minutes for him are just about right. TOT is rightfully bringing him along slowly. I'm not sure he's ready for more extended play; he still seems to get tired and a running style doesn't seem to suit him yet.

Last night was all about Max first and Mama second. Max really carried us in the second half and demanded double coverage down low. Mama is a beast and will be starting Saturday. Carter does play good defense and will be sharing backup minutes with Geoff.

We're lucky to have Max back and Mama in the program.

how the heck can you say that, or that he out coached Fran Mac that is a stupid post. Kenny H was nursing a bad back injury that was not reported anywhere, so Siena was basically playing with 5 bodies the whole night, that kind of limits your flexibility. Lanier left the program a mess, with little time to rebound and replace the defections that he caused. What Fran has done with what he has available is pretty remarkable, had this game been in Albany it is likely the outcome is much different. Finally, is TOT moving FF forward or are you barely staying above water? Fran has momentum and it only gets better for Siena from here on out. Good luck the rest of the way, but stem your enthusiasm on TOT, there is a reason he still coaching in the maac.

I think Mcafferty has done a great job this year, and I think most people agree with that, especially under the circumstances. But we are talking about this game, and to suggest that that he properly prepared his team to play without Mensah for this game, is overlooking the problem that Siena became unglued, and it is the coaches responsiblity to not let that happen. Got beat on the O-boards and with with a lot of turnovers..... even though it seemed like a lot of that was due to Fairfield's better play, however.

And if you think that Hasbrouk is the only player on the court that had a bad back, a sicknness, or another injury then you are being naive.

IF the game was in Albany and
IF Mensah did not get hurt and
IF Hasbrouk did not have a bad back
IF Siena had more than 5 bodies ( I count 9 scholarship players)
IF .....

Then I agree the outcome might have been different.
