Siena's men's basketball team opened its season with a loss on Monday, with the Saints failing to "play the right way" according to post-game assessment. Despite the defeat, freshman Parrish Edmond Jr. provided a bright spot in his collegiate debut, recording six points and three steals while guarding Bryant's Duane Thompson.
The Saints' season opener came against Bryant University, with Edmond Jr. immediately making an impact on the defensive end. The freshman's three steals showcased his quick hands and anticipation, while his six points demonstrated offensive readiness in his first college game.
Head coach and team officials noted the need for improvement after the opening loss, emphasizing that the team did not execute their game plan effectively. The early season setback provides learning opportunities as Siena looks to bounce back in their next outing.
