No rest for the Bulldogs, who have to meander on up to the Times Union Center to take on the Saints.

On first blush, Siena appears to be quite bad — it's a rare team indeed that can shoot 64% from 3 and lose by 20 at home to Delaware, not to mention that they only won their non-D1 exhibition by 7 - so this might represent a good bounceback opportunity for Yale. (Disclaimer: I haven't had a chance to watch Siena play yet.)

Hopefully Yale uses this opportunity to right the ship before their trip to Patrick Gymnasium up in Burlington on Friday.

Nice road win for Yale. Siena is apparently dealing with some injury stuff but shellacking a team on their own home court is never a bad thing.

What stood out to me was how much more focused the team looked in all facets of the game (eventually, the start was rough). Strong defense, aggressive rebounding, and a willingness to trust their offense. I lost count of how many back-door cuts Yale had that led directly to baskets. It's that kind of patience that they'll need against Vermont on Friday if they hope to win.

And Seton Hall beat No. 4 Michigan on the road, so that blowout loss certainly is not a stain--Seton Hall obviously has a great team.

Yale needs to figure out the bigs which will take time and we’ll what piece of a rotation is due to injuries

Isaiah has no history of a stretch big game even at 6 6/7. He was a reasonably highly recruited wing athlete at pace academy who played next to Wendell carter jr
He struggled in the offensive game when Wendell graduated and he was keyed

anyway you see that this far in this combo of games. He adds depth and potential at the non-5 spot though this offense has been tweaked enough I wonder if that’s the issue
Starting point end point deal

Basa ama has great potential and flashes it. But he’s green bc he has been playing ball like 6 yrs including the pandemic
