Lex Yetna played a lot of time tonight. Just stop taking the threes and get down low. We need you there. Peyton did a great job when we needed him. SPU had a very physical game tonight as well. Tomorrow is Stags Saturday! Men and Women both going for the Gold!

Not quite sure if I can handle emotionally another close game. We cannot start out how we did today and versus Iona. Disciplined drives to the paint is what won us this game.
Payton smith played a great game I might add. This team is special. One last game. Let’s do it!
I think the offense and defense is a little better with Smith out there. Yetna just looks hobbled out there.
Absolutely agree. Also, the Switching on defense with yetna on a guard uptop killed us early. I feel like we switch too much at times but maybe that’s me.
Even watching these games is draining! Fields put the team on his back, and Leach found other ways to score with his outside shot AWOL. But the most impressive feature of the last two games was sensational defense in the last 5 minutes.
I didn't think this team could win in the tourney unless they were hitting 3's. They have proved me wrong.
Yes. Hard to believe. Who would’ve thought that would be our identity. Seems like we had a block or a steal on every possession down the stretch. And Marist didn’t have a player at the level of Fields or Leach to make plays when we turned it up.
Tonight we have to have better ball movement. Only 8 assists last night reflected too many bad shots early in the shot clock and too much iso ball. Later in the game spacing improved and we had some decent driving lanes. SPC will play defense similar to Marist, aggressive on the perimeter, force drives into the bigs and contest everything.
IMO St. Peter's is offensively challenged. But they rebound with fury and turn the game into a brawl.Don't know what Yetna has left in the tank but, aside from a couple of ill-advised shots, Smith was solid last night. Bleechmore, if he is out there at least 30 minutes again, has to give us more than one rebound and has to be better on defense.
