And what is with 30 3-point attempts vs. a team with 6 or 7 players, no driving to the hoop to draw fouls? Makes it easy to play D when the opponent (US) take the lowest percentage shot all the time, just sit back and get the D rebound!

+1

There must have been some kind of strategy to that though…

You can't dribble drive a zone, so you soften it up with passes to expose it, then drive it.

But we missed WAY too many layups as well..hard to count how many - lots.

Team was just flat all around tonight; just like they were the other night.

On a side note:

Our Arena is too dark!

Need to seriously upgrade the lighting in there, it's like we are trying to conserve energy or something.

That sets a mood in itself…….

That was one of the worst 2nd half performances I have had to watch.  Does anyone know what the word rebound is??

Sienna had 7 players and ran all over us, they came in wanting to win and we came in expecting to win.

If I had to sum it up in one word, pathetic.

If this team thinks they are going to win with that type of effort, they and we are in for a long year.

GO OWLS!

When the shots are off there's nobody to rebound and there's nobody to go to the hoop.

you want to tell me i'm wrong, go for it.

+1 as well…….

You're right!

There is nothing worse for our team than jumping out to an early lead with ease…during the first half it felt like we could turn the screws when we wanted and man did we play uninspired AGAIN in the second half. Freaking pathetic tonight.

A lot of the defensive boards Siena got tonight were completely uncontested, no one there! And why aren't we seeing Penn and Floyd? Its not like White earns his keep out there! I'd rather see a lost freshman than a weak junior on the court.

Coach J has his work cut out for him.  Let's hope the beginning of conference play gets this team back in sync.

FAU had seen season lows in points per half with 23 against both USF (1st) and Harvard (2nd), but posted a new low tonight with just 21 points in the second period against Siena…

At home no less?!

Anosike weighs in on how the west was won.......

(well, the south in this case)

"They thought they were the favorite."

"Got after their shooters and made them put the ball on the floor, and they struggled doing that - got a lot of messed up shots."

That was a brutal game to sit through.  This might have the making of a very rough season, I see us going .500 in SunBelt play at best.  Without C. White on the floor we are a VERY small team.  Aside from Ray nobody seems to be able to create their own offense.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
