I changed my profile to include Siena 2020 NCAA tournament....whether or not the NCAA tournament is played (highly doubtful now) Siena is the rep via the regular season outright championship.
Therefore Siena should be recognized as a 2020 NCAA tournament team in their notes, history and banner raising next year.
It's big for recruiting/history/tradition and happened through no fault of our own obviously.
Does anyone have a problem with this or think it won't happen?

I think a banner saying 2020 NCAA Tournament Qualifier would be appropriate.

Raise the 2020 MAAC Championship banner. If there is no NCAA tournament I don't think a 2020 NCAA banner can legitimately be raised by Siena or any other conference champion. If there is an NCAA field chosen by the NCAA then there is a legitimacy to raising the banner. If the tournament is cancelled and the and the field is not chosen, no banner.

I believe the best solution for the NCAA right now is to name the 32 auto bids and then rank the at large teams from 1 to 36. That way they would have the option later to play a tournament with 32, 48, 64, or 68 teams. If the tournament never gets played then at least those 68 teams can say they qualified.

Also want to see the "First Four Out" and the "Next Four Out". Not really a post-season without them! |

Saw Seth Davis discuss on twitter, hope they go forward with naming the 64 or 68 teams even if they do not end up playing the games. Really sucks for Burns, Heim, Friday and Diamond.
On a positive note, if they don't play again, we had a chance to watch them go out on a high with the 10 game win streak.

As far as NCAA tournament goes-- hope they have it, if they don't, well I've felt for a while Siena was best team in conference, it stinks especially for seniors who wont get chance to play in NCAA tournament. But it doesn't change my feelings for team. It is Siena's manifest destiny to win this conference..LOL
In all seriousness its been a great season, Siena established itself as program to beat in conference.We have a great head coach and staff, more talent in the program than any other MAAC team and more coming in. I am quite sure Siena will be a very popular choice for any potential transfers or 5th year grads. Its only March of 2020 and things can change but as things stand right now Siena will be picked 1st next to defend its title ( with an asterisk) future is indeed very bright for Siena ,I refuse to let some stinking virus dampen my enthusiasm for team and program

My guess is that is what they do choose the field-- and unfortunately never play it. But by choosing the field Siena can indeed legitimately raise the MAAC champion and NCAA banner -- |
