The people on that a10 board are very short sited saying Manhattan and iona would be better options, however they dont realize they have small gyms, and far less support, i do think that siena should stay in the MAAC another few years to rebuild the program especially with the MAAC tourney in here, and also to bring in some more talent. Luckily the "people on the team boards" aren't the decision makers. Unless Iona and Manhattan could secure MSG dates or build 5-10K arenas on campus for all their games (never going to happen) they are not viable options. |

That's because those two are the recent flavor of the month. They would have bent over to get us during our 3 year run. They'll be calling again soon enough.... |

Some of you guys worry about this way too much especially th24( who bitches about 36 buck tickets) anyway no current opening in A10-- why worry about it. Opening will be there soon enough, in the meantime we are rebuilding program in a big way and have MAAC tournament at home next 3 years..lets just win, dont worry about A10--if we win the A10 will come calling to us-- just leave it at that.. this will all sort itself out--worse case scenario we have Tournament on our home floor next 3 years- a pretty sweet proposition to me-- either way we are winners

Nothing is off the table but I don't think I'd want Siena in the Big East even if it was offered. Believe me I'm not a small time thinker AT ALL but I am also a realist. Look at Butler - now maybe it was just a down year for them but they really struggled in the Big East. While it would be neat to see Villanova, Marquette and Georgetown come into the TUC on a nightly basis it would not be cool to see Siena at the bottom of the Big East. My guess is Dayton/St. Louis are in the Big East within the next year and Siena is off to the A10 which I think is a TREMENDOUS conference for us where we can contend for at-large bids, top 25 rankings and a sweet 16 as long as we have a good coach. |
