It was a great run and the most exciting basketball played all year. Hopefully the taste of this weekend will linger in the minds of the returning players and program giving them the motivation, strength and guidance for next year. It was fun watching Siena basketball the last three days.

I agree 100%. Great play and great effort in the tournament. Congrats to the team and staff. You certainly got our money's worth this weekend if you attended the tournament. On to next season. Get on the recruiting trail and get it done for the future of the program.

Tough heartfelt loss. The kids and coaches gave it their all.
Congrats to them on their efforts and a good run in the tournament.
Sunday night will not soon be forgotten as being one of the most memorable non championship game moments in MAAC Tournament history. Neither will last night's game for at least Sienna fans.
Hopefully Nico doesn't forget what heights he can bring this program to. This is now his team moving forward. If healthy, no reason he cannot be our AJ English moving over the next two years.
Both him and the guys around him just have to work their butts off to get that much better between now and November.
We didnt lose that game. Iona won that game. You can't ask for anything more. You have to tip your hat to Iona.
The Washington and Much kid truly loved playing in the moment and carried that team on their shoulders to victory.
I met Much and his family before for our game and after their game Saturday night. Good kid. Good family.
In being a big University at Buffalo fan, I wish he had stayed there rather than transferring out. He could have had a huge impact on that program as well.
Though I thought it was an overall poor attendence showing(9pm start did not help) for their first title game in 7 years, the students really showed up last night in large numbers.
Kudos to them on both Sunday and Monday after not being there the whole year.
The students, as well as the whole arena, were loud from beginning to end.
It was just a great college basketball atmosphere to be a part of the last two days.
Unfortunately for us, we were on the wrong end of the final score. No one said it was ever easy being a loyal fan of a team.
If an invite comes to a CBI type of tournament, I hope they accept it.
I would love to see this team play some more ball.....at the ARC.

Ashante Shivers played a terrific game last night. Absolutely fearless- should have been in at the end of the game. This kid will be a significant contributor next year.

The Saints played tough last night!- What an exciting game-They gave it their all! They dominated the boards and played hard. The one thing that really bit them is something that hurt them in some of the close games early in the year- Poor Free throw shooting- If they had made 2 or 3 more of them and the game doesn't even go to OT and they are dancing. The Seniors that are graduating had a great run. Congrats on great careers and best wishes to them!

I would have liked to see JO post low or our guards take it to their big men to draw their 5th foul. They both had 4 fouls for many minutes.

Since our offense does nothing to free up scoring ops (why not set some off ball screens besides our un-alley-oop) we really need players that can create their own shot. Quis was all we had. Hopefully Ashante can take the next step. Best wishes seniors and thanks.
