Fans will have to invest in a Eurotrip if they want to see Alex Franklin and Ronald Moore playing basketball this season. It might be a trip worth taking. The reigning MAAC Player of the Year and MAAC Tournament MVP is heading to Tarragona, Spain, and Siena’s all-time assist leader will take [...]

This comes from our friend Jason Rich at Siena…
The Siena men’s basketball program honored the most successful senior class in its 70-year history and dished out annual awards at the First Niagara Year-End Celebration Monday night at the Hilton garden Inn in Troy.
With YNN Sports Director Joe Calderone serving as master of ceremonies, Former [...]

Ronald Moore was arrested early Sunday morning under the charge of driving while intoxicated. Christen Gowan has more details over at the Times Union blog
This is a reminder that absolutely nothing good can come out of driving a car while under any influence whatsoever. Kids– just pay the $3 for a cab.

A reader e-mailed in the other day and asked that we remove Fran from the top header up there, since he has moved on. Yes, we’re planning on doing this soon, but it brought up another question I wanted to get your opinion on…

2006-2007 Season
Siena beats UAlbany in double overtime 76-75. Ubiles scores 20 points after hitting [...]

The #13 seed Siena Saints (27-6, 17-1) will go for their third straight NCAA tournament first-round victory when they take on the #4 seed Purdue Boilermakers (27-5, 14-4) Friday afternoon in Spokane, WA in the South Region.
This will be the first meeting between the two schools, and this will be the first time the Saints [...]

Last week Ronald Moore said the last place he wanted to play in the first round of the NCAA tournament would be Spokane, Washington because the distance makes it so difficult for students and fans to make the trip.
Unfortunately, the NCAA Selection Committee didn’t hear him.

South: #4 Purdue vs. #13 Siena

Who is Siena? Haven’t I seen this name the past two years in my bracket? This name is so familiar I should just pick them right? Yes, and yes.
It’s a great day in sports; it’s the day that you spend penciling in teams in your bracket, until [...]

I’ve got one thing to say, put Siena in Providence or Buffalo. Last year, you gave this team an extremely tough task in traveling to Dayton to face Ohio State, heck even the president picked against us. The least you could do, after three consecutive years of exciting tournament appearances, is put Siena [...]
