Bruce Jacobs — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:41:27 +0000

Losing is 1 thing. Not being competitive is totally another. Too many times this season the Saints have lost by at least 10 points. It happened again Saturday at the Times Union Center as the Saints were flogged by Loyola of Maryland 80-57

Bruce Jacobs — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 13:38:54 +0000

Bruce Jacobs — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 03:52:08 +0000

Forget the slow starts that have troubled Siena much of the season. This time it was a bad finish that did them in Friday at Loyola.

Siena Slips By Manhattan And Creeps Up A Bit In MAAC Standings

Bruce Jacobs — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 23:06:54 +0000

When you lose 11 straight games in the heart of the season, winning 4 of 7 heading down the stretch is a decent turnaround.

With a nice 66-63 win at the Times Union Center Friday night over the Jaspers that's exactly what the Saints have done and if they can string together a few more wins they can at least get a decent seed in the conference tournament

Bruce Jacobs — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 03:10:07 +0000

Bruce Jacobs — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:52:30 +0000

Siena Wins Their Second Straight With Victory Over St. Peter's

Bruce Jacobs — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:02:19 +0000

I am guessing the Siena Saints like this winning thing. What was foreign to them just a week ago, is getting normal after Siena topped St. Peters Sunday at the TU center 66-53.

O.D. Anosike who has been up and down recently was up for Siena on this day, scoring 20 points including a rare solid day from the free throw line where he hit 12 of 17

Regardless of any jokes or snide comments, this much is true: the Siena Saints won a ballgame at the Times Union Center Friday night and snapped their 11 game losing streak

Siena Puts Up Better Effort But Fall To Iona

Bruce Jacobs — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 04:01:46 +0000

Despite being down in bodies and, if their record is any indication, spirit, the Siena Saints put up a big effort Friday at home against Iona, but lost again nonetheless 66-62.

The high flying Gaels were kept under their usual output on the scoreboard but when you have lost 10 straight as Siena has lost, close or competitive is no good
