Fans thinking about purchasing or renewing season tickets for the anticipated 2012-13 Siena men’s basketball season may want to act fast. The athletic department will be giving away a prize a day in the month of April to fans who renew, or purchase new season tickets for next season.

Prizes include: $100 gift cards to 677 Prime and the Official Siena athletic store, tickets and transportation to a New York Yankee game courtesy Yankee Trails, complimentary garage and valet parking at Times Union Center, $20 concession credit for each home game next season, golf and dinner with head coach Mitch Buonaguro, shooting sessions with Evan Hymes and Rob Poole, Siena Legends Game and Saratoga Race Track exclusive experience packages, a visit from the Siena mascot at your event, even an opportunity to travel with the Saints to a road game next season, and many more. Visit www.SienaSaints.com/30in30 for full calendar of prizes and an updated list of winners as they are drawn.

To be eligible to win one of these great prizes, fans need only make a $50 deposit per seat by April 30. Prizes will be drawn each day throughout the month of April, so the earlier the deposit is processed, the better the chance to win.

Fans can make a deposit by calling the Siena Fan Relations Office during business hours Monday-Friday at 518-487-2202 or visiting the office at Times Union Center. Those looking to renew their season tickets can do the same, or utilize Ticketmaster’s Account Manager tool to renew on-line at www.SienaSaints.com/Tickets

The 2012-13 season features home games against Atlantic 10 contender UMass, 2012 NCAA Tournament participant Vermont, UAlbany, a to-be-determined ESPN BracketBusters opponent, and nine MAAC games (more games to be scheduled).

Siena is coming off a 14-17 season and a MAAC Tournament semifinal appearance. The Saints return the nation’s leading rebounder OD Anosike, the likely Preseason Player of the Year in the MAAC, and freshmen standouts Evan Hymes and Rob Poole. The Saints also hope to welcome back five talented players who sat out the 2011-12 season: junior forward Davis Martens, sophomores Rakeem Brookins and Trenity Burdine, and freshmen Lionel Gomis and Imoh Silas. Siena will welcome newcomers Richard Audo (guard, Orangeville, Ontario) and Brett Bisping (forward, Morton, Ill.).
