Siena Monmouth game thread

[gorvy]

Teams that have finished in the top 2 of the Maac or made the championship game, last four years:

Monmouth
St. Peter's
Iona
Manhattan
Rider

Siena has a chance to join this group today, one last chance for the four seniors to bolster their legacy. Get it done!

[skipc]

I loved what I saw tonight and I’ve got a great feeling about Sunday. Let’s all get down to the TUC on Sunday and support these seniors that have given us so many great moments over the last four years.

Go Saints

Monmouth has beaten Siena and Jimmy 6 times in a row and 7 of last 8 games. 27-5 teams seldom lose to 500 teams. Jimmy seldom beats top teams in MAAC. Jimmy is 0-9 vs regular season MAAC champ since he became Siena coach. Monmouth hasn’t played since Friday where they played no starter over 25 min, Siena played the starters hard and Nico is questionable and even if he plays, not sure how effective he will be – add it all up and this game is a real long shot for Saints. I hope they play well and if not outright beat Monmouth at least beat the spread

. It's tough to beat a team 7 times in a row.

Hey in a single elimination you always have a chance. It's not like Siena is playing Kentucky. We would not beat Monmouth in a best-of-7 but it only takes one great 40 minutes from us and a so-so 40 from them. Odds are against Siena but they were against the Patriots, Cubs, Cavs, and Trump. End of Patsos-like rant

It will take a perfect storm - Hawks are favored by 7.

Let's pull of a shocker!!

Skip, well said. This afternoon is what this season is all about and Siena's sixth man in the stands needs to be LOUD and visible. This is Siena's time - be there and be a part of it. Go Saints!

Nico def going to give it a shot today. Hopefully he can contribute the way he has been. Would be shocked to see Seaborn play for them today, but....

[Papi]

I got a feeling, Monmouth has a off shooting game and Siena wins it. They will need to make FTs down the stretch can't have 2 misses like BB and MW had last night in the closing minutes and beat a good team. Last night they got lucky today its all about playing almost perfect.

[billmurray]

I'll go with KK's logic on this one. Siena is due. Win today and beat Iona in the final for a change as well. A perfect storm.

The spirit of the 2002 MAAC Champions are in the house this afternoon: Dwayne Archbold, Prosper Karangwa, Michael Burhman & Justin Miller, in Section 120. Let's Go Saints!!!

Nico is a game time decision per a Siena official - Seaborn is out. Game starts at 445.

Let's go saints!!
