Live at the MAAC.....Day 2

Back here for Day 2 of the Tournament. The crowd is much bigger today even though we started earlier than yesterday.

Right now, No. 2 Iona is up 67-46 over No. 7 Loyola with 6:03 to go, so it looks like they will advance to meet the winner of Siena and Fairfield which is supposed to tip off in eight minutes, but that won't happen

With six games on tap, it's nice to see that we're already getting backed up a little, but I guess what's the difference in being here for 14 hours as opposed to 15.

Here's my Day 2 preview


DAY 2: MAAC Tournament
Matchups:
Women's Quarterfinals/Men's First Round
Women
No. 2 Iona vs. No. 7 Loyola, 9:30 a.m.
No. 3 Fairfield vs. No. 6 Siena, 11:30 a.m.
No. 1 Marist vs. No. 8 Canisius, 1:30 p.m.
No. 4 Manhattan vs. No. 5 Saint Peter's, 3:30 p.m.
Men
No. 8 Manhattan vs. No. 9 Saint Peter's, 7:30 p.m.
No. 7 Iona vs. No. 10 Canisius, 10 p.m.

Game of the Day: Siena vs. Fairfield - The last three times these teams have met in the tournament have been decided by one point, two in favor of Farifield and last year, in favor of Siena
What to Watch for: The Marist women's team, ranked No. 20 in the country in the ESPN/USA Today poll and the top-seed of the tournament take to the floor for the first time against Canisius

Again I'll have live updates, so make sure to check back if you're not in downtown Albany. A reminder all the games today except Manhattan and Saint Peter's (Siena's opponent tomorrow) are on MSG. The reason that game isn't on is because of the Knicks game tonight.
