King Rice

If you were wondering just what you could expect from the Siena Saints Men's basketball team when they were finally able to take the court you weren't alone. Furthermore, if you were pleasantly surprised by just how strong the Saints have looked so far again you'd be joined by myself and many others. That's not meant to be a knock on the Saints or their coach Carmen Maciariello, that's just acknowledging the journey this team has faced in its attempt to even practice together. The Saints 2-0 start gained high praise from two-time MAAC coach of the year King Rice of Monmouth.

The MAAC conference has had it's ups and downs this season, including Monmouth starting the year 0-12 before rallying and winning their way into the MAAC Championship game tonight at 9 pm against the top seed Iona Gaels and MAAC coach of the year Tim Cluess.
