Yes I agree that the extended run by the bench certainly bolstered Siena’s offensive output. And Siena, while athletic, did a poor job of team defense.
And I wanted to mention Sotos as well. He def looks like a solid player already and I’m excited for his future. He doesn’t get rattled, has a quiet confidence and is solid in most every area.

Great analysis as always 137. The team will be in good hands next year with Sotos running the point. And it's nice that Kimbal will not have to fill that role at all this year.
It looked like the instruction to the bench was not to foul, given the officiating. Hence the big run by Siena in garbage time.
Thomas must have just about doubled his made FTs for the year (but I'm too lazy to look it up). 13-13 in the 2nd half playing only about 10 minutes tells the story.

Sotos is a stud. I hope he doesn't transfer.

Husky, why would Sotos transfer? He gets to run the show for 3 seasons.
New season, new team, new dream . . . |

So, I did look up Zach's FT stats.
1st 4 games - 14-27 52%
vs. Siena - 19-22 86%

Could easily be 3-2 now. But I guess that is the glass half empty view.

Indeed. But have to move on to the next one.

Bison89,
What I saw on the court was a potential mega talent in the PL. Sotos was so incredibly comfortable and adept at this level of play that it was eerie. I may be overreacting but I think he’s a superstar in the making. Increasingly, like The Mount, these guys transfer.

I agree with you Husky. I was very impressed with Sotos's composure & confidence down in Chapel Hill and immediately thought this kid is going to be special.
