As an aside - Quinny has zero fans. They are at the top of the league and that gym is empty. Nice facility and Siena *couild* pack it nightly (well, not now) but for a #1 team they have zero fan support.

Pretty sure the opponent is why their gym was empty today. Tough to get excited for the worst team in the league comes into town.

Did Carm just say there was 5000 at the Manhattan game Friday???😳

Ha ha I didn’t hear his post game, don’t care to hear the garbage that comes from his mouth but if he thinks so and said that the school should have him clinically checked out.

Ho hum another double digit loss. Score would have been worse if Q did not call dogs off early. Carm now a sub .500 HC. Some will say Saints played hard. Well I would not expect otherwise. These are college athletes, many who had no other D1 offers, all games are televised, if I am a player I am going to play hard, it is really one of the only things they can control. Someone will score in the games. Today it was Courtney and Winters. Saints will never win with those 2 as the leading scores.

I’m very disappointed with this whole NIL program. The two biggest receivers of the benefit are no shows. Giving SD a car and money when his eligibility was in question is insane. Don’t care is I ever see SD or Eley play another game fir Siena. Just get this season over! Please!!!

Wonder how many assistants are out the door this go around?

Interesting discussion on the post game radio show. Coach Carm talking as if Eley, SD, and Tekin may not play again this season. Then the buzz between Conner and the announcer about these present kids starting are working hard and that these kids are playing for each other and if any of the absent players say they are ready to play, that they will have to earn PT or maybe just come off the bench. Both Conner and the announcer feel that these kids have earned time on the court and the absent players have not. Come on, an injury is an injury, or is it?

I do not know what is going on behind the scenes, but buzz on this site is that those two have quit on Carm and that Carm has quit on Tekin - who knows??? I guess this is expected chatter when you sit at 3-15 in league play, have ZERO chance at a win in AC, and a program has hit rock bottom.

The radio guys are hilarious defending Carm. They must be drinking the same cool aid as D’Aregenio is. Also, this isn’t CYO basketball why do we have to settle for “kids that play hard”? They aren’t D1 talent by any means

It’s possible Durogordon and Eley are aware and content with who they’ll get offers from if they enter the portal and don’t want to risk injury. If Tekin can play but is choosing not to it’s a bit puzzling because I’m not sure how desirable he’ll be in the portal, could be an issue between him and Carm like you alluded to.

Not only possible but highly likely. There’s no doubt in my mind recruiting is going on 365 24/7 through back channels especially now that boosters / NIL $$$ are in play openly.

After next Thursday don’t be surprised if Lia’s send a tow truck to get their car

Agreed but I also wonder how much higher they can go? For different reasons I think A-10 is the ceiling for both of them.

or they are injured and can’t play. Ely has been limping all year . Siena leads the world of basketball in concussions. Concussion injuries should be fully healed before playing in a game.


Carm likes to blame NIL, transfer portal, assistant coaches, and his players. Carm alone ownes this mess. Anyone making excuses for him is not to be taken seriously.

Without a doubt. Not sure if that was directed at me but I wasn't making excuses for Carm at all.

If you want kids that play hard go back to the arc and D3!

Carm’s second father Bobby Costanga.

His name is Bobby Chestnuts!

I thought it was Mr Furley?
