They'll be playing on campus within 3 years. Jabir should charge the men's program rent. It’s so bad for the men’s program that they were gave updates on the women’s game against Iona. Maybe Jabir could cut a deal. |

I saw you over on the Siena Board providing condolences. Fine, but no alumni is coming up with $800K to buy out Carm and I don’t think the College is either. They are probably stuck with him for another year. Their bigger problem might be attendance at the MVP. There announced attendance vs turnstile attendance is a joke. They play there in part because of their 4-5K season ticket holders. Only Siena and the MVP know for sure but their contract may include clauses related to minimum attendance and rental payments. Not to mention the complaints the MVP will start getting from their vendors about revenue drops. Do I think they will head back to campus. No way. But it could start costing Siena more to play “downtown” as the locals say. That will make it even harder to jettison Carm. Siena fans like to say college basketball is a business. I’m not so sure that applies to programs at our level none of which make money. But I do know for sure that the MVP Arena is one and they aren’t in the business of losing money. No chance they keep Carm. As a competitor fan I would love it. But he has completely lost fans and his players. Marist bought out a couple coaches, Siena will. They can't afford to lose season ticket holders. They just can't. New coach will reinvigorate those annoying people. They mentioned on the broadcast that Cam and the AD said they made a mistake going with this young a team this year. And basically that they should of used the portal more. It made it seem like the admin and Carm are in agreement on what they need to do next year already. |

Very solid effort tonight from the team and exactly what we want to see when they are playing an inferior team. Hopefully Daughtry is ready for the weekend and we can put up the same performance. Nice to see Sulak get some more time, and love to see the free throw shooting! Keep that up!

i expect the Siena coach to be fired after season , it's a here/now league with the advent of the portal . It's not a get them young and build a program league anymore .If they or us or anyone has a bad year it's sure to have major defections .im sure some of it depends on the length of his contract. a coach not only has to be a coach that gets good players out of high school but also must get players out of the portal ,Dunne is excellent at that .

Thanks for posting the photo album. Great stuff. I especially liked “Battle at the Rim”. Caught the action at the perfect moment. I love the way the rim was bent from the force of the attempted slam by Farris. Too bad he didn’t complete it. LOL.
