iona

The men's basketball team at Iona college in New Rochelle, NY was over joyed on Sunday when they got word that they were getting an at large bid to the NCAA tournament.

This wasn't like 1980, when the United States shocked the Russians in what is known as the "Miracle on Ice." It wasn't even really like little Chaminade knocking off powerful and No. 1 ranked Virginia, in 1982. No, Siena's 65-62 victory over Iona won't go down as one of the biggest upsets of all-time, but this was a stunner for a number of reasons...

The Siena men's basketball team ran into a buzzsaw on Tuesday evening. Leading the charge for Iona, was sophomore guard Sean Armand, who set a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference record with 10 3-pointers, as the Gaels downed the Saints 95-59, at Madison Square Garden.

Brandon Walters remembers the first time he played at Madison Square Garden. Although he was just a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School, in Brooklyn, he can recall the memory like it was yesterday. “I was blown away," he said Monday morning, before the team departed for New York City...

It's only January 4th, but last night's 73-67 win over Iona could be the defining win of the season for Siena. The Saints found themselves down 13 points with about 5 minutes to go in the 1st half and then something magical happened.
