Men's Basketball 24-25

there were some moments but siena isn't good enough to have given us fits like this. they were guarding deep and we weren't rotating the ball fast enough to find open looks given their overcommitment. still, the team feels surprisingly close to cohesive somehow. none of it seems unfixable.

Just could not make adjustments to counter the man to man and open up the 3 point shooting. Our defense had a hard time getting stops too. Too many offensive fouls also.

8 Siena steals, 2 for Cornell

Awful performance, never even got a lead vs Siena at home. We did well at finding cutters for easy lays but just didn’t shoot threes for some reason and played bad defense. The Ivy League games are all that matter anyway but it’s hard not to be pissed off after sitting in Newman for two hours to watch them get handled by Siena and have the Siena fans be even louder than our own.

Only 12 three point shots attempted; fewest since before the pandemic and the current offensive style. Give Siena some credit for doing a good job of taking away the threeball, but the BR never looked in rhythm.

Restart after the glorified scrimmage for league slate. 8-6 should get us into the ILT, it's almost always enough to finish top 4. To do that:

1-3 versus the favorites Yale and Princeton
2-2 versus our competition for the ILT Brown and Columbia
5-1 versus the rest of the league Harvard, Penn and Dartmouth.

Wild to see Harvard and Penn at the bottom. Feel for Donohue. Not for Amaker.
