• Big Game: Siena Could Take Control and Big Game: Fairfield Looks to Upset Siena
  

  Friend of the site, MAAC Official Blogger Steve Amedio points out that the Saints are first in the MAAC in points per game, scoring margin, field-goal percentage, rebounding offense, rebounding margin, assists per game and steals. Oh and Siena’s last in the MAAC in three point field goals per game. He has quotes featured in our media luncheon video and previews the Fairfield side of the story as well.

• Thoughts on Fairfield
  

  Times Union’s Pete Iorizzo delivers a six-pack (must be 21 or older) of thoughts on the Fairfield Stags. To summarize the six-pack: Cooley did a great job last year without a lot of players, the Stags have played a very weak schedule, Derek Needham is the Rookie of the Year, Anthony Johnson has come back from life-threatening injuries to being a top scorer, the Stags are good offensively and have a chance for first place with a win.

Former Siena Men’s Basketball player and now Student Assistant Cory Magee comes back from Christmas break looking forward to Siena’s Winter Break schedule.

• Disappointment? Not For Siena’s 7-4 Start (Keepin’ Track of the MAAC)

The MAAC’s humble blogger takes issue with ESPN’s Andy Katz calling Siena’s start a “disappointment.” To Katz’s point, he labels Siena disappointing because they were unable to rack up any marquee wins in the non-conference schedule when it appeared the Saints had a chance to.
