Listening to the radio...why does Tom Huerter keep saying hope Nico's next three years are in a "Siena uniform"? I just hate the speculation. I know he had a great year but that doesn't mean he's going anyplace.
Also both thought Siena's season was over...at 21-12 a top 100 RPI I'd be VERY upset if we packed it it. Sure the CIT/CBI costs money but Siena had a solid year and should keep on playing even if it is on the road. CIT is only for mid-major and you have to be .500 so they have a lot of spots to fill.

The Siena fan apathy for these tournaments is going to kill it. Plus it's warm this year maybe they are sick of basketball

Wishful thinking so his kid can play more Ouch--- but with the access he has you wonder if there is something going on-- not to mention the recruiting. And so the silly season starts...

Tough loss. Typical English out there tonight. Saw a scout in 102/103 watching him the last couple days. Glad we won't have to play him again.
The championship game should be a good one. Robinson hasn't been playing like I expected. English had my vote for POY. Iona winning and Monmouth getting the at large would be great for the conference.
Hopefully finances are in order for the post season should we get a CIT bid.

Maybe I'm just being moody but I'm indifferent about the postseason unless it's NIT.
This team already won the CBI. What does that prove?
I think Jimmy would rather be recruiting..

Cluess a real A______ , but can recre No that's Grasso that does that for him, and he might be going somewhere within the conference in a few months anyway. His departure would really hurt Iona.

Rough game. Marquis clearly still rusty. At least we're finally done seeing English and Williams And Rountree. He is a huge part of their resurgent defense. He had 6pts, 6 boards, 5 assists, 4 blks, 1 steal... He's just all kinds of active and it screws teams up. I still think he's the real DPOY. I can deal with the offensive juggernaut Iona who can't play D and chokes. I can't deal with the one who does that AND defends. What did Washington have tonight-- or the 3 games vs Siena-- Didn't he avg like 15 and 6 against rest of the MAAC? Strange how the one team he couldn't score on was Siena? Roundtree is a solid player--Iona resurgent defense is fueled by their guards with relentless pressure on ball and double teams- our guard were unable to feed the ball down low to Brett or JO- both of whom had position a lot tonight

Could be a good opportunity for some revenue normally a 50+ rpi from the Maac doesn't get in but it will be interesting to see if the high profile wins put them over the top. I think Monmouth will win-- more rested and better equpped to handle the Williams/English juggernaut. Iona would be put in a nate Diaz sleeper hold in the ncaas, they always are I also think Monmouth will win tomorrow, but they will get a serious look if they don't.

Agree with this-- Siena had a good season- we accomplished what most on this board wanted- a legitimate contender. Iona was the better team tonight- congrats to gals. Without Quis at 100% always going to be a uphill battle vs the Gaels. And agree while we had a good year- not there yet- Jimmy needs to get his ass out on road recruiting

Supposedly he liked English, hated Robinson.
