Siena shouldn’t need any motivation- it’s a battle of two weak teams. One of only a handful of games Mitch has a legitimate chance of winning. On the downside Baghdad Mitch has lost 15 of his last 16 MAAC road games- so don’t hold your breath waiting for a win.

Oliver out for Marist game..Silas game time decision

This year can’t get over quick enough for me. I can’t even watch the press conferences anymore and listen to Baghdad Mitch tell us Siena is a good home team- his defense is good and a good number other clichés that have zero basis in reality. I have no idea how the media keeps a straight face when Mitch starts laying on his Bull$hit

Remember when Marist tried to shut Siena fans out from attending the game? Now I bet they are begging for us to come. I guess they should be careful what they wish for.

I hear you... never wanted to get to the offseason quicker than this season. March 12th can't come soon enough. This offseason and coaching search most important in Siena history BY FAR.

As far as the PC goes... it was funny at times but it is getting old now. Our media really has no stones. There's a reason they're in Albany and NOT NYC or Boston or Philly.

And I think we can clearly see why Siena didn't make a change at midseason - the assistant coaches are also over their heads.

At least somebody called him on the Burdine situation.

If the press had any kind of credibility they would have said something about Mitch long ago! Hello...the reason why these guys work in Albany. Not one of them have the guts to call someone out like Mike Francesca ! Pathetic guys! Pathetic !!!!

Lets go Saints ! Don't forget what Lewis did to the Siena bench last year ! Make him look like a fool guys !

[billmurray]

I agree with Tony. Siena's record is incentive enough to get the W. Nothing else is/should be necessary.

With the record Siena has this year, they can’t get enough motivation. When an opponent gives a jab about your school, that should mean something.

I hope we play man to man a little, I would like to see us play it a lot, but Mitch doesn't......I would like to see Poole vs Lewis man to man.

Well this is a tough game for several reasons

Mitch has lost 14 of his last 15 MAAC road games

Mitch has only had a day to prepare for Marist- earlier in year he used excuse his team plays better when he has more than a day to prepare- his basketball mind knows no bounds..

They’re struggling, but they’re dangerous,” Buonaguro said. “When they play Siena, it’s a big game for them. It’s always tough for us playing down there.”

Buonaguro said he heard Marist will have back senior guard Devin Price, the team’s leading scorer at 14.6 points per game, who missed the past two games with an ankle injury.

I expect this game to be similar to SPC game- a game between two really bad teams- somebody has to win

[gorvy]

I fully expect them to lose by 8 or 9 points. Lets say 53-45.
