Arena is contacting PSP members about a game at the TUC on Tuesday night. It is not absolutely certain, and nothing is being said as to which tournament or who the opponent will be. There is a possibility that the game will be Wednesday instead, in which case it would be played at GFCC.

I really can't imagine there will be much fan interest in these "C" tournaments. This same regime and players already won it. I certainly am not interested or attending.

What if the opponent is from a Power 5 conference?

Maybe host NC State and Mark Gottfried?

Maybe host NC State and Mark Gottfried? That would be a nice draw but I'm guessing it might be a little awkward if we play to win with our best players. A game against the Wolfpack would not provide a lot of opportunity to play our "deep" bench unless we are getting blown out of the building. JMO!

I believe that if Siena is in ANY of the post season tourneys, has a decent opponent and tix prices are reasonable there will be a nice (cost covering) crowd. If the kids want to play and the offer comes I say go for it.

IF you're really a Siena fan, you come out for any game they play locally. There's no debate.

I'll support the team if they choose to play. My goal for the team is NCAA tournament 1st and other post season tournament as often as possible if the NCAA goal is not achieved. The more you play, the more experience the team has the better they will get.

There was no reason for the attendance to go down for the semi final MAAC tournament game, but some Siena fans chose to stay home and watch on TV. I don't understand it, but it seems that that type of thinking is prevalent among the Siena fan base.

Some can;t afford it, or are too far away, etc.....I get all that, but if you're a regular contributor to this board, then Siena basketball must be pretty important part of your social life, and if it is, you should support them in any postseason game that is played locally.

Well if they play it I hope they get 4000-5000 plus for the game. Anything less will be a disappointment to me. This team deserves to play on even more so than the 2013-2014 team.

I'm not big on these C tournaments, but if the Saints are in--I'll be there watching--probably in premium seats

Is the Washington Armory a possibility or not good logistically for a number of reasons?
Wait, why do I have a bad feeling we're playing UA in the postseason?

i will attend any game locally. This is a top 100 team worthy of postseason play. If you think about it they really should be in the nit if they just picked the top 100 teams by rpi. So, this is a good team and I'd like to see if they can win a few more games.
