Why Do They Shine In Practice?

Never one to avoid kicking someone while he's down (hey, they would do it to us and have) ...

 

The Siena players seem perplexed as to why things have gone so horribly wrong this season.

 

In practice, Siena plays hard, competes and often looks very good. The trick has been carrying it over into the games. It hasn't worked. - Times Union

 

Here's a guess: in practice those terrible players are practicing against, you got it, other terrible players.

 

Just a thought.

 

As Allen Iverson once said, "We talkin' bout practice. PRACTICE."

I think that was taken from a Lanier quote. He doesn't seem to know what to say to the press anymore. All the media attention that Siena gets is great when things are going go but has to weigh you down when your going through the nightmare they are right now.

 

Watchd some of the game on MSG last night. McClinton is a pretty good looking guard as is the one Fischer. As we all know, tough to win with a freshman backcourt and they are playing 3 freshman guards. Bunch of guys injured also-alot like Albany was last year.

It makes more sense if it's Lanier saying it. I didn't think that was directly quoted, so I thought the newspaper writer was just pondering it. Maybe he indirectly quoted it, like that was the general thoughts around the team.

 

Either way, practice is practice.
