Siena just couldn't get a stop in OT. Neither team could.
Nico Clareth had a rough night.

Just back from the game. Siena missed 11 free throw attempts, and never seemed to set themselves up to get good shots off tonight.
Credit Iona's shooting

Thought Siena had the game. Feel badly for the seniors.
Only got home in time for the 2nd half and O/T.
Great Siena fan base, students and locals, vocally supporting the Saints.
Wright last 2nd shot within o/t for a three for nothing.
A hard fought contest, no quit in either team.
Siena kept coming back from defeat.
I defer to frian82's comments and perspective.

An entire thread about two very LOW mid-majors that are nobody's?
I ask the KORE Mods to move this to the OT Board when they wake-up this morning.

yes Dex, and Iona is going to the NCAA Tournament while Providence' frosh and transfers would handily eviscerate the Gaels with their length and flex and quickness to the loose balls.
The 2nd half and Overtime that I saw was a hard fought contest by both teams.
The players reactions after the overtime were genuine.
Mid majors perhaps, but exemplifies the appeal of the college game.

Low attendance for this one considering the home team was playing for an automatic berth. 7,600. They used to get well over 10K in the past.

Disagree mr dex - great game as we approach the BET. Conference Championships are great and this was no exception... given our pending evaluation for an at large bid, all such contests are relevant.
I have spoken.

As Ed Cooley and at least one other coach has come to Providence from this "LOW mid-major" league capable of knocking off a two or three seed it might be of interest to some of the more "clueless" posters such as myself who only watch games from the top three rated leagues in the Nation.
It was a fun game to watch. And infinitely serious to the two teams vying for that one bid to the NCAAs.
Anxiously awaiting Thursday evening 9:30 pm from the Center of the Universe.

I wish to take advantage of the "Full Rights and Privileges" extended to me, as the recently declared "Bronze - Champion" of Pick'em, to weigh in on this matter.
It was an entertaining game, which interested certain Nico Clareth - probers amongst us - and hence, my participation and endorsement of this thread on the Dave Gavitt Board
