Defense wins championships. good coaching wins championships. Attendance wins championships. Do your part and be there!! Plenty of seats available. Last I checked you could even get seats at center court in section 105. couldn't agree more but at 50 and 37.5 for lower seating wonder why the attendance not where it should be. Killing the goose that laid that egg. This is a low mid major league like it or not. We support the team in Albany, even support the, MAAC, but you need to price your product correctly. Like to see the D remain at the level it was second half yesterday. No comment on coaching, except let the kids play and stay out of it. Less mistakes that way. Really? If you are put off by the price buy the cheapest seat available in the upper deck and then sit in any seat that is empty because the blocks for all session passes for the teams not playing will be there for the taking. Monmouth had a lot of them. It is really that simple.

Feed the goose otherwise it will fly away!

A game last year went at the last minute, bought tickets online for $8 and got to sit in great seats. My generalization was meant for the general public who would not knowing this and be turned off by the cost posted. Perception is everything.

I think those 29 should stay away. Stay home and watch, if things don't the way you want you can change the channel.

.....that's the voter count in favor of firing JP at the end of the year. So the million dollar question: What happens if we win this thing tonight? 85% of the voters want him fired. Will you feel that way at midnight if we're still celebrating and cutting down the nets on the TUC floor?? Or would we become the first mid-major team in NCAA history to fire their coach after he got his team to the NCAA's?? I know one thing. It's put up or shut up for the Siena "fanbase" out there. Attendance has been poor for our first two games. I just read that Iona has 6 busloads coming up from New Rochelle so they can see their Gaels go 9-0 against us in the MAAC tourney. Any Siena "fan" within 100 miles of the TUC should be there tonight cheering these kids to victory after the gutty performance they turned in yesterday against the best team in the conference. Staying home and watching on TV means nothing. Get your ass to the arena and support what we all claim. That we have the best program, and fans in the MAAC. Time to get our swag back tonight. Kids will be tired and they'll need our energy. No excuses. Be there!! What was the attendance last night? It's isn't included in the Final Stats for the game, which is a bit odd. I thought the total crowd was fairly decent, but obviously there were fans for several teams there. Crowd reaction in the second game was great, but that may have been fueled in part by fans from Iona and St. Peters also rooting for the Saints to knock out the #1 seed.

No one can find the attendance. My guess could be 6000-6500. So s disappointing crowd for sure. And yes, of course Iona wanted us to do their dirty work and knock off Monmouth for them. They are very confident against us. Especially in our building. We need to change that tonight by helping the boys out.

MTS already promised me 18-15 next year so I vote to bring Jimmy back! In all seriousness, with about two minutes left I said barring Siena losing this game as a direct result of Jimmy that they have to bring him back next year and I am fine with that. Let's just not get crazy and add any guaranteed money.

Ralph & Dennis, from RI, I believe are attending their first MAAC Championship game (they always had to work that Monday but are available tonight). Hope the team treats them to a victory!!!

According to the sienasaints website attendance was only 5,400. It looked like more. Perhaps conspiracy by maac to get tourney away from tuc lol.
