Siena won Saturday afternoon in large part because of Manhattan’s incessant showboating.
Siena won Monday night in small part because of some showboating of its own.
It’s different.
In Manhattan’s case, it was its mugging toward the Siena bench and Times Union Center crowd. It made no sense, riling fans and the more talented Saints team. A better strategy would have been to lull both to sleep and try to sneak out with a W that way.
Which brings us to the second half Monday night, a little less than six minutes in, after Siena had carved Fairfield’s lead from 13 to 6. At part of Siena’s devastating trap, Edwin Ubiles created the Stags’ fourth turnover in six possessions, and raced down the left sideline before angling before the center of the court.
A slam was coming. But not just any slam.
