New Coach. New Players. New Results.

After finishing 73-50 in four years at Marist, Matt Brady decided now was the time to move on. He chose his next challenge to be rehabilitating a team that won 13 games last year. Though his transition marks a great time for a fresh start with new head coach Chuck [...]

ESPN.com released the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll today in which Siena received 8 votes for Top 25 recognition.
Fran McCaffery is on the board of 31 coaches that assemble the rankings for this poll. I’m not saying that the Siena votes are not legitimate, but just something to consider. Does his presence on the [...]

Ronald Moore did not make any of the Preseason All MAAC teams, and it’s a terrible job by MAAC coaches. Pete Iorizzo makes a great case for why he shouldn’t have been snubbed yesterday.

Year Three: Contention.
SSB: One of the teams I still think has been a real good dark horse these last 2 years has been Fairfield…
Pomeroy: I think that’s a reasonable goal for them, not that I would expect it of course. To challenge Siena they would have to significantly improve [...]

A recent column by Mark McGuire in the Times Union discussed the importance of Ronald Moore to this Siena Saints team. Although Kenny Hasbrouck, Alex Franklin, and Edwin Ubiles have received more attention and All-MAAC honors, you can make the case that Moore is the most important player (MIP) on the team.
His coach and teammates make [...]

Now that the baseball season is coming to a close and official practice has begun, I (and I’m sure you are too), am really, really excited about the season.  For the past four months, we’ve been waiting for the most anticipated College Basketball season in Siena’s division I history.  Throughout that time, we’ve cited this [...]

According to Pete Iorizzo of the Times Union, Josh Duell is out indefinitely. There is currently no timetable for his return. According to Iorizzo, Duell suffered the injury during practice Sunday, was on crutches and in a boot on Monday.
