Congrats to Coach Cluess, his staff & the Gaels. WOW! That was some wild 2nd half. Saints cut it to 43-40 and then the Gaels close the game out on a 51-24 run.

MONSTER game by Glover 31 pts & 11 rebs. Tremendous job by the whole team really. Scotty 15 pts & 8 assts, Kyle 16 pts & 4 assts, Alejo 6 rebs, Randy chips in with 10 pts. Rashon was awesome tonight and did he a little stat sheet stuffing himself. What a great line, he had 8 pts/4 rebs/4 assts/4 stls. And to top it all off, Armand knocks down a couple treys in the end.

One down, two to go. One game at a time fellas. Enjoy this one get some rest and be ready to do it all over again tomorrow.

There will be at least 2 other stories from the Hayseed Nation papers and perhaps another from the CT Post, but I didn't look for those.

The Daily News link works now, for those who tried it.

Related to this, in honor of Siena's demise, I have removed the filter changing Siena to Hayseed Nation.

What a wonderful experience being there--particularly the manner in which we handled S I E N A in the 2nd half. You could feel the energy and our complete dominance. WOW! ;D

Boys did a decent job from the ft line 15-21--71%. Glover was very relaxed and focused--7-9.

Side note: James scores his first point of the season!!!!

Favorite TV scene - watching Rossiter on the bench looking like Tim Tebow on the sideline v. Alabama!
