Hymes getting the point for Siena

ALBANY - Evan Hymes wouldn't admit to being nervous before his first college basketball game, but Siena's freshman point guard said he was excited to be out on the floor.

“The crowd gave the whole team energy,” Hymes said, following his 10-point performance in a 65-56 victory over Navy.

Hymes was pressed into duty because of the season-ending injury suffered by sophomore Rakeem Brookins.

Hymes looked very comfortable running the point and leading the Saints on this night.

“I was just playing my game,” he said.

Hymes was one of four freshmen who saw significant playing time for Siena.

“The four freshmen – we all played great,” Hymes said.

In the second half, after making a jumper Hymes wend down with a cramp and had to come out of the game.

He said that, while it was tight enough that he couldn't return to action, he should be fine for Saturday's road game against Mount St. Mary.

"I'll just need to get in the training room and get some treatment," Hymes said.
