Rough ending for team and Program. Saints were clearly best team in conference over course of season, and were playing their best ball heading into tournament. But on positive note the foundation has been laid, we have a excellent head coach and staff, In these days of almost free agency for D1 players the staff's challenge will be to keep most of the team intact. If they can we will be clear favorites to win conference next year,and in fact should be a top 100 type team. Carm his staff and the players have clearly signaled the "crown jewel " of the MAAC is back and is the program to beat. Congrats to Carm and team this year was a ball, it is indeed a great time to be a Saint!! www.timesunion.com/sports/article/A-premature-ending-for-Siena-basketball-s-special-15127664.phpdailygazette.com/article/2020/03/12/maac-basketball-tournament-canceled |

More downside to this ending is siena not in the post season and all of the national exposure that goes with it. That is immeasurable. While a great season by any measure... The ending comes at a significant cost.

No guarantee we pick up where we left off. I get the feel Carm is sorta in the Fran mold - lackluster early going with a strong Jan/Feb/March. No complaints here, I'll take it. I also think losing Burns and Friday is gonna really hurt - especially early. Young will get there but he's probably another year away.

This years start was a bit of a feeling out process I think it’ll be a better start next season. The team is going to look a little different next year with Carpenter. Young will be ok but need another big to spell him. I’d think another grad transfer if possible? |

There would be a lot of length and a lot of athleticism with and 5 of Pickett, Carey, Carpenter, Harris, Golsen, Tate and Camper on the floor. That's a team that could speed a lot of teams up. That said, I've been talking up Young since he was a high school senior. Love the attitude he plays with. Think he'll be a good to very good maac level center as he continues to develop. |

What I miss? RI transfer, already enrolled & practicing with the team, just like Carpenter. |

Sadly, so am I. Well, in reruns. Some of us were there for the original shows. I'll cover and raise with "do you remember rabbit ears and aluminum foil" - amazing how we used to have 4 channels ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS and we'd have "discussions" over what to watch - now we have hundreds of channels with nothing to watch - literally, given the untimely death of sports... |
