Siena Can Send Message

The Siena men's basketball team has a chance to send a strong message to Monmouth and the rest of the MAAC when the two teams meet on Monday night at the Times Union Center. If Siena, which is playing its best basketball of the season, can knock off the favored Hawks, it would end their 11 game winning and send a message that Siena will be a tough out in the conference tournament which they will host in March in downtown Albany. Monmouth swept Siena year, another reason for the hometown Saints to come up big Monday night.
