It's still early but it will get late very quickly for both the UAlbany and Siena men's basketball teams.

If you’re a fan of the Siena men’s basketball program, you must have been impressed watching Gerry McNamara’s introductory press conference on Monday.

Siena College Director of Athletics John D’Argenio has announced that Carmen Maciariello will not return as the head coach of the men’s basketball program.

He’s stepped up when other players have not, and has some impressive performance. He’s got a bright future one way or another.

Siena is 2-3 in the MAAC and with addition of Durugordon who plays a very high level the Saints are a dangerous team especially in March.

Siena and UAlbany men's basketball teams are finished with the non-conference schedule and set to begin the season that counts.

Head coach Carmen Maciariello has plenty of good parts including veteran leadership from Jackson Stormo and Jayce Johnson.

Winning the regular season title in his first two years at the helm of the Siena Saints men's basketball program has apparently gone under the radar for his fellow MAAC coaches and that always seems to be OK with the kid from Clifton Park. Saints' head coach Carm Maciariello has done nothing but win, even under some ridiculously restrictive conditions. So, when the MAAC coaches poll came out Tuesday evening and Siena was picked 8th, I laughed. Nope, certainly not at the Saints but at the coaches that voted.

While I'm sure John Lumpinski was disappointed about his near no-hitter, the MAAC gave him something to smile about Monday morning.

It is so much nicer to report on sports that are going to play than when I had to continually tell you what was postponed or canceled. Today Siena College and the MAAC announced the 2020 - 2021 Women's basketball schedule. As Head Coach Ali Jaques always says GO SAINTS!
