I'll be there but this type of game should be at the ARC. My bet is it draws flies.

This team has 15 players on its roster, 11 of them have played at different colleges before going to Morehead St.
Coach Sean Woods (PG for UK that hit winning shot until Laettners miracle ruined it 25 years ago) plays 11 guys 10 min or more, so they just run waves of guys at you.
Leading sorer is LSU transfer, 6'3" Corban Collins at 11.8ppg
They were on a 7 game winning streak going into their conference tournament, so they are playing well. They were a #3 seed , and lost to a #2 in the semis just like us.
Agreed this game should be at the ARC, not the TUC. If we get 2000 to come Tuesday night I'll be surprised. If we don't come to play, these guys could give us a beating. They look very physical.
*I'm gonna bet $2 that the kid on their team, Xavier Moon, is the son of Jamario Moon, the ex-Patroons star that went onto the NBA a few years ago. He looks just like him, and is from Alabama like his daddy.

If we get more than 1600 it would have to be played at the TUC seeing the ARC only holds about 1600 this year. The remaining bleacher section raising the capacity to closer to 2k hasn't been installed yet. |

They could add bleachers at each end for the one game if it helped them save tens of thousands of dollars in rental fees of the TUC. Getting tickets to the best customers, in such a short time frame, will hurt the attendance. |

I guess Siena's hoping for more than 2K (even if that doesn't materialize). |

Any Siena "fan" should be attending this game if they live locally. Some schools have been able to use funds from these games to pay for overseas trips. We may need it to psy for extra tutors too.

This game will show who the real Siena fans are. If there are 4000 season ticket holders I'd expect more than half of them to show up.

I hope the Siena admin can get out some more emails to season ticket holders. It seems many didn't get the first mass mailing. There should be at least 3K at the TUC. Of course we will all be rooting for UA to advance so we can get another meeting at the TUC and Siena moves on to the best of 5 series. Go Saints.

I am not a fan of these "C" tournaments especially with such a weak field, but I will be at the game tomorrow night.

The loyalty factor with some of these bloggers is lower than a snake,s belly. Imagine having them in your platoon as they ran badmouthing the officers.I am not referring to those in this session who are urging people to come to the game, but some of those who blog at this site on a regular basis.

Championship is best of 3, and they reseed after the quarters so no guarantee we see Albany in the semis it might have to be in the finals. I am perfectly fine with seeing a best of 3 with Albany and beating them in their own building. |

Got my tickets, I'll support them no matter what, game probably should be played at the ARC and add bleachers at the ends. You would get students that way, I don't see more than 2k at the TU. Hope I'm wrong.
