The Siena Saints fan base is starting to talk about the possibility of running the table over the duration of the regular season. It seems that the Saints themselves have learned to ignore speculation — putting the Old Spice Classic behind them and starting their own conference run, continuing now at 9-0 in the MAAC. [...]
