I only caught the second half, but I had a close eye on Shane. He did okay, I agree defensively he seemed to be active and took some good charges. I also liked how he was trying to post up deep -- even if he didn't try to go up with it, he shifted that zone and was able to kick it back out sometimes. Winbush stepped up too, glad to see him on the offensive boards doing some dirty work. Siena had two big guys who could post up hard, and when it was just Etherly and Walker, Walker was overmatched defensively. I like him playing the 3, his length affects them. But we have a great depth this year, with Drummond, Winbush, and Latham once he's healthy again. We just gassed them.
I can't say enough about Olsen's game -- he can flat out shoot and he gets hot. Cormier is tough too, I like when he's aggressive.
That 2-3 zone is our achilles heel right now, but at least last night I saw we were getting it to the high post some of the time. But still need improvement on our offensive sets there. Good win otherwise -- at least the 2nd half (heard we were cold the first half).
I also heard that Patsos' mentor - Gary Williams -- was in attendance. I wonder we he thought.
