Beating mid to lower pack MAAC teams is meaningless if you go 1 and 5 or 2 and 4 vs the top of the conference. Not negative, just an observation and a fact! We're 1-2 vs the top of the conference. Not 1-5, or 2-4. We just beat a team, on the road, that beat Iona and Canisius in their last 2 home games. Stop bitching about what "might" happen. Deal with with what happened yesterday. Team played very well, and guys like you are negative? So if it isn't a game vs your top teams why even play? I guarantee you if we lost, you'd never let go of this game. THAT'S the problem, and I know you wont get it. Currently vs the top half of the MAAC we are 2-4 with our wins coming against sub 500 (combined) competition. Oh and how did we fare vs top of the MAAC last year? Rex's teams play well against 500 and sub 500 teams and tank vs the top of the MAAC. That's why your boy is Captian 500. I agree with SF some here are just infatuated with mediocrity. My oh my ... it's interesting how far expectations have fallen!

I agree with SF some here are just infatuated with mediocrity. There's no denying your comments about the top of the league. But lets hope we can see our boys do better from here on in. QU has a losing record but I personally don't think they are a "bad" team. I think they are a much more athletic team than Siena. If they can knock off Iona, than we should be able to do it also. We have to continue to play with the energy we displayed last night but we have to get more out of our three point shooting. We aren't going to beat anyone in this league if we shoot like we did in that last game against Iona.

Take Siena out and they're 2-4 vs. top 5 in the conference and 5-1 vs. the bottom 5. Not sure if thats what OI was referring to but just throwing it out there. He said "top of the conference" which is any team over us, so Mon, Iona and St Petes. We re 1-2 vs those teams today, We can all lose our $hit when we go 1-5 or 2-4. I'm sure we all hope we can go .500 against them.

This is an important stretch for Siena. It's going to take some backbone/teamwork. And no more dumb mistakes or drama!!!!

I'm sure we all hope we can go .500 against them. What is so hard to understand? I've been saying the same thing for almost 2 years. We DONT win vs the better teams in the MAAC. Period! If you need clarification I was implying both - top and top half, our wins are against the bottom half (sub 500 combined) of the conference. Against the top half we're 2 - 4. With IC and MU to go it's not inconceivable that we go 0 and 4. Point is when it's all said and done i suspect we will be at or under 500 again vs the top teams (ahead of us and top half) in the MAAC. How was Patsos vs the top of the MAAC last year? I don't see this season shaping up any better. How much more do you need to see? As far as I'm concerned this season has been a shit storm; disciplinary issues, suspensions, a 6th man all MAAC player on leave absence and a team that has grossly underachievied . In addition this year has also highlighted the shitty job Patsos has done recruiting over the past for three years. So excuse me for not getting overly excited about beating a .360 team.

Some out here will NEVER focus on that. Just the way it is. Some love mediocrity. Some don't. I go to a pub and the atmosphere, food are shit. I'm not going to focus on the positives (they have my favorite beer). I'm not coming back Some also choose to support the team/program at all costs. I was speaking to some on the bus last night (and others at the past few home games); while we can all agree Siena can be doing better - we still choose to support the team/program. It's not that we want mediocrity or settle for it; it's just that we want to attend games and show our support more. It's ok if some/many choose not to but stop making it sound like we're supporting mediocrity or that we're somehow part of the problem (meaning Siena won't change unless we're all united and boycot the games or some stupid crap like that).

If we are attacked for not supporting a crap product alumni can be attacked for being a party of the problem for supporting regardless of the product. This is a business, nothing more.

If we are attacked for not supporting a crap product alumni can be attacked for being a party of the problem for supporting regardless of the product. This is a business, nothing more. Fair enough. I'm attending my first meeting of Mediocrity Fans Anonymous. Hello, my name is IndianSaint and I am a fan of Siena Men's Basketball even though the team/coaches/admin aren't that great. It's been 24 hours since the last game I attended. I know I shouldn't attend because that's the fastest way to let the team/coaches/admin know that I'm dissatisfied and expect change, or else; but I simply can't help myself. Thank you SF, you're correct. I AM TOTALLY PART OF THE PROBLEM. I guess some things will never change, I'm too far gone. It's up to others to help save the program. I've failed.
