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. I guess the big reason they didn't do it at the ARC is that it only holds 1800 now, right? Ticket prices there would have to be too high to cover these expenses. If the TUC is too big for something like this, the ARC is now too small. I will be very happy if we get 4K on a Tues night, but I am not optimistic. Hope the school does everything they can to get students there reasonably.

I am not a fan of these "C" tournaments especially with such a weak field, but I will be at the game tomorrow night. Not sure anyone really loves these third rate tournaments, that said: It would be really difficult to look a future recruit in the eyes and try to convince him/her Siena takes college basketball seriously but passes on post season invitations. Given a vote now or in the future, the kids will always opt to play. I'll pick up my ticket at the box office tomorrow.

Glens Falls CC perfect venue for this tourney I agree that would probably be the ideal venue size, but too far from the vast majority of the target fan base esp for a first round minor tournament on a Tuesday night.

2014 CBI, Siena averaged 3,224 per home game, the breakdown was as follows:
1st round win 66-55 vs. Stony Brook, 2,575 (TUC) Quarterfinal win 54-52 vs. Penn State, 3,598 (TUC) Semi-Final win 61-49 vs. Illinois State, 3,980 (TUC) Final game 2 loss 89-75 vs. Fresno State, 3,177 (ARC) Final game 3 win 81-68 vs. Fresno State, 2,788 (ARC)
with the NEW re-configuration of the ARC to currently only hold 1,800 seats (the extra 500 bleacher sections appear not yet ready).........it is not likely the ARC would be used at any point in this yrs CBI, but then again I don't make those decisions............certainly the TUC offers more room but clearly the fact that it would be really empty is a consideration as they go forward!!!!!!!!!!

Bought my tickets. Noticed there was no will call delivery option.
Also, available seating was not good. Are they still holding seats for season ticket holders?

They were only supposed to hold ticket for season ticket holders until Sunday night, but given their problems they may still have some on hold.

Well, Saints are in this thing now. Might as well just win it.
A 3 game series with Albany would be kind of cool should it happen. I'm pretty sure people would die though.

I'll be there but this type of game should be at the ARC. My bet is it draws flies. If the game was played last week it might have drawn flies, but it got real cold this afternoon ad is expected to be just as cold tomorrow. I'm guessing, no flies (unless the TUC staff left dead mice all over the arena over the weekend then there might be flies by tomorrow night).

Me either but trying to get an earlier flight home from NC to make it if at all possible. Now that's dedication and support. +1000 I have to admit if I were at work out of state, I'm not sure I'd fly back just for one game.

Ualbany over its head playing a MAC team. UA does well as low major, but truth is Albany only has a few wins over teams with winning records in top 20 conferences in its entire history. No wonder Will Brown is making excuses. Look for UA to take a beating vs Ohio. Danes will do well to make game competitive
