Saturday's matinee against Iona brings the MAAC regular season to end for the Saints. With Iona losing to Manhattan on Thursday, Siena needs to win in New Rochelle to avoid a last place finish in the MAAC.

Easy vote, even given the Gael's recent skid. Saint's and Carm's record season adds another loss.

But I'll change position here and go out on a limb and say Siena just might beat the early spread.

Iona should be chomping at the bit after getting embarrassed vs their longtime MAAC rival yesterday.
I see them pressing us for 40 minutes and taking out some of their aggression on us. Courtney and Winters are in for a long night.

I hate to root against us but a blow-out loss to Iona followed by a blow-out loss in the tournament would be a fitting way to close out the season and, hopefully, Carm's career as coach. I've followed the program since the coach was Dan Cunha. We've had some bad coaches but Carm is the worst of the worst. He's bad at all aspects of coaching except he does dress nicely for games.

Well hopefully it won’t be as bad as Pacific’s loss to Pepperdine earlier this week. Down 56-9 at half and lost by 59 against a league rival who was ranked 222 ( equivalent to rider). Pacific is ranked a couple of slots above Siena in the Kenpom rankings. Based on 6 wins for the year, but they have 0 league wins in a much better league.

IF Siena were to experience a loss like that in either of their 2 last scheduled games, one would think an immediate dismissal of Carm would happen no matter how much money he is owed.........that cannot happen at the D1 level..........

For those who have been bashing Eley for quitting on the team, I am glad to see him playing Thursday and now today. He could have easily packed it in given his injuries and this disaster of a season:

Siena will likely have 20+ turnovers so it all comes down to how efficiently Iona scores the ball. Points off turnovers should be the key.

Not one DI handle among them, Iona's press will be trouble.
