.....that's the voter count in favor of firing JP at the end of the year. So the million dollar question: What happens if we win this thing tonight? 85% of the voters want him fired. Will you feel that way at midnight if we're still celebrating and cutting down the nets on the TUC floor?? Or would we become the first mid-major team in NCAA history to fire their coach after he got his team to the NCAA's??
I know one thing. It's put up or shut up for the Siena "fanbase" out there. Attendance has been poor for our first two games. I just read that Iona has 6 busloads coming up from New Rochelle so they can see their Gaels go 9-0 against us in the MAAC tourney. Any Siena "fan" within 100 miles of the TUC should be there tonight cheering these kids to victory after the gutty performance they turned in yesterday against the best team in the conference.
Staying home and watching on TV means nothing. Get your ass to the arena and support what we all claim. That we have the best program, and fans in the MAAC. Time to get our swag back tonight. Kids will be tired and they'll need our energy. No excuses. Be there!!

I agree get out and support the team- now is not the time to debate Jimmy's future, 1 upset win doesnt wipe out this year or the dismal recruiting the last 3 years. I've said it a million times College basketball is much more than 3 days in March. Attendance has been down because this coach has alienated a lot of Siena fans.To be fair it's not all his fault, 6 bad years out of last 7-- a lot of that falls on Darg too. I do think Jimmy is probably safe for this year, even if he wins tonight, there should be NO guaranteed contract extension- that would be recipe for disaster with this coach..again we can discuss after season- right now support the team, they are going to need it!!

Defense wins championships. good coaching wins championships. Attendance wins championships. Do your part and be there!! Plenty of seats available. Last I checked you could even get seats at center court in section 105.

Reality check. Saints upset the best team in the league, by a player having the game of his life. NOT trying to put a damper on it, grate game proud of Siena they never gave up. Tonight is put up or shut up. teams relatively even, Siena home.
Now for JP, he wins tonight perhaps he will get a offer somewhere else. Is JP a good fit for Siena, absolutely not. He was an easy hire by the AD. He may get one more year here due to Nico and the seniors heroics. Got to be proud of these kids with all the adversity, most brought on by others. Would be ice if the school and JP parted ways amiably.

Last I checked you could even get seats at center court in section 105. couldn't agree more but at 50 and 37.5 for lower seating wonder why the attendance not where it should be. Killing the goose that laid that egg. This is a low mid major league like it or not. We support the team in Albany, even support the, MAAC, but you need to price your product correctly. Like to see the D remain at the level it was second half yesterday. No comment on coaching, except let the kids play and stay out of it. Less mistakes that way.

Buy kids tickets they are only $8 for same seat which is odd. I went yesterday morning when I learned I could get out of going to Wicked and could go to Siena game. I bought mine for $37.50 and my daughters for $8. She wasn't with me so I assume you could do the same and take n adult instead. For $45 we got two tickets to two good games even though we only watched first one.

Already got our tix for tonite with her too! A little late for a school nite, but she had a great time! No excuses! Very reasonable for kids - bring them all tonite!

Nico played great and Monmouth was without Seaborn. I'll be there cheering the team on tonight but Jimmy still needs to go.

Or for $17.50 you can get in and be a part of it regardless of where seated. Don't buy online and pay $9 for fees just show up at the arena its getting warmer. There is a storm Brewin' and an aerial view will look great framed on your wall. Cluess is going to be whining all Effin day about having to play a road game. Let's give him something to whine about!!
