ALBANY, N.Y. — Saint Peter’s was very much a wild card entering the season in November, but even as their season wraps up in the MAAC quarterfinal round, it could easily be deemed a success. Continue reading “Plenty Of Reason For Optimism For Saint Peter’s Future After MAAC Quarterfinal Exit”
ALBANY, N.Y. — Fairfield had not played in a game all season where they failed to make a second half three-pointer, but with just over a minute left and a three-point lead, they were in danger of doing so.

College basketball teams have been going since late September, and with Christmas fast approaching, almost everyone appeared in need of some time off Wednesday afternoon at the Yanitelli Center.

And Siena fans don’t need long memories to remember the three consecutive MAAC titles from 2008-2010, which also included the last two NCAA Tournament victories for the conference (over Vanderbilt and Ohio State).
