It's not like the MAAC is the ACC. Winning your conference is still tough at any level. And the truth is that UAlbany is winning more titles in a very short history as a D-1 school than Siena has with its 25 year head start. I dont even know why you're so afraid of UAlbany. Its not like you even went to Siena. Its good for the area to have two good programs to follow and support. I figured as big of a basketball fan like you that you'd be happy to see the other local team succeed. 3 things Never said the MAAC was the ACC it is clearly and I mean clearly much stronger than AE Never said I was "afraid" of Albany- and never said I didnt think it was good to have two strong programs- dont put words in my mouth again- I just pointed out the obvious on Siena's D1 history vs UA's if you cant handle the truth this isnt the board for you

The bottom is much better but Vermont, SBU and Albany would finish in the top half of the MAAC RPI wise on average the past half decade. Ignoring that winning your conference is still a feat. There's no doubt Albany would be getting better recruits if they were in the MAAC just like Siena wouldn't be getting the same level recruits in the AE. For someone that isn't concerned about Albany's history you're sure quick to try poke holes in the fact that UAlbany has one less NCAA appearance in less than half the years being D-1 than Siena.

UAlbany's wins don't count. My Mama says they are the devil.

No Albany would not finish in top of MAAC the last half decade -- Dude dont just throw crap out there- last year was only year UA would have finished in top 5 of the MAAC - other years RPI 134-131-212-216-- I poked holes in Click clack weak attempt at smack-- and funny how quick to defend UA you are

Again, if they were in the MAAC the quality of recruits would've gone up to. And why wouldn't I defend UAlbany? They are a local team.

Well instead of your UA would finish in top of MAAC most of the last 5 years truth is they would have one top finish in last 8 years- but don't let truth get in way of your argument You dont know what the quality of their recruits would be in MAAC- on one hand you say little difference between MAAC and AE on other hand you say they would have better recruits in MAAC- dude you sound like a UA fan talking out of both sides of your mouth LOL

forget NCAA wins ( UA isn't close to one) UA has few non conference wins over teams with winning records, in fact not sure if UA has any non conf wins over team ranked in top 100-- if they do not many- in short typical low major program not sure why the UA clown is trying to talk smack when UA has done nothing,zero, zippo on national stage Having UConn on the ropes, hanging with Oklahoma, same with Florida two years ago. Dont know why you're saying that they were never close to one. And they won at Washington three years ago. And all that is ignoring the 5 NCAA appearances in 15 years as a D-1 team. Only one less than Siena whose been around for close to 40 years. I'm not ignoring UA's 5 NCAA appearances, but it's not as big a deal as if they win some of them. Iona has won more MAAC championships than any other MAAC team. Big deal, they can't win the NCAA games. I have more respect for LaSalle, Manhattan and Siena. At least when they make it to NCAA they win some. That's the difference. Until then UA won't be considered as making that next leap. So I'd say UA might be on par with Iona (can't win when it counts most). Heck, I have more respect for VT, at least they can win NCAA games (against a good opponent). So, yes, UA has won more conference tournaments in a shorter time than Siena -so what. If they won some of those NCAA games then I'd concede they might have a better program.

Indian Saint-- don't worry about the Dane fans-- the program has done nothing outside their conference- you can count on one hand the wins they have over top 100 teams-- congrats to UA for winning their conference -- but thats it-- you cant even compare them to Iona-- while the gals haven't won a NCAA game they do have plenty of "Up" wins something UA cannot say - and in the end Dane fans are very "touchy" about that- because they know its true

BTW, I wouldn't trade Siena's NCAA & NIT victories (including NIT Final Four) or their post season tourney championships (both of them) for winning the MAAC tourney 15 yrs in a row but with no NCAA or other post season victories.
To experience those post season wins is something I hope every fans gets to experience at least ince in their life. We've been blessed to have experienced more than most MAAC or AE teams could dream of.

I just don't believe they're there yet. I don't care how many times they beat us. When they win post season games then we can start making comparisons.
