MAAC GAMEDAY: Siena vs. Fairfield
Siena senior Kyle Downey used the words bottom of the barrel, before Thursday's practice.
The Saints are in last, thanks to a Canisius loss on Thursday evening, but they are alone with the Griffs as the only Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference teams still without a win.
They'll get another crack at it tonight, when they host Fairfield.
If the Saints lose, it'll only be the second time in school history that Siena started the MAAC season at 0-4, since joining the league in 1989-90 season.
The schedule makers were not kind to Siena this season, as the Saints have played the top 3 team from the preseason poll, in the first four games.
If Siena doesn't win tonight, Sunday's game against Niagara will almost be a must-win, in hopes of avoiding what would be an 0-5 start to the league season.
