    MAAC Championship: Fairfield vs. SIENA
    Home game for Siena....who ride the nation's 2nd longest home winning streak. Yes, these conference tourney games COUNT towards the streak.

    Siena beat Fairfield in both meeting this season.
    @Fairfield 81-73
    @ Siena 69-67

    Both teams have had 2 games in the Conference Tourney so far. Siena being the #1 Seed having a 15-1 Conference Regular Season Record and Fairfield having a 11-5 record.

    Siena in quarter finals won 78-61 over Manhattan trailing at the end of the 1st half by 4 and dominating the 2nd half.

    Tonight in the semi's, Siena trailed again at half by 2 and overcame that and defeated Rider 72-62.

    Fairfield eat Canisius 67-57 last night in Quarters and then beat Niagara by 6, 69-63 in semi's tonight. Trailing by as much as 8 in the 2nd half, Fairfield pulled through and got the victory.

    Now, the #1 and #2 seeds in the tourney and all through the regular season will meet in the finals, w/ the winner of course making it to the NCAA tourney.

    Siena has won the MAAC Conference 2 years in a row and also have won the 1st round game in the tourney both years with wins over Vandy and Ohio St. in double OT.

    Pre-Season ranked #1, Siena hopes to finish what they started in the MAAC. Having a tough non conference schedule, Siena made up for it w/ dominate MAAC Conference record losing only 1 game to rival Niagara on the road. Other than that, it has been an easy road for the Saints. Having 3 players in the MAAC 1st team, 1 in the 2nd team , and 1 in the 3rd team, Siena's 5 starters all made the top 3 classes in the conference.

    Alex Franklin won MAAC MVP and Ronald Moore leads the nation in assists.

    I can keep going on w/ Siena of course being my home town team, but that is some background to the game, non bias.

    Siena has a high tempo offense and leads the conference in ppg.

    Being a home game for SIENA, I see no way that Siena loses the game and they will win this game over Fairfield and move on to the NCAA tourney for 3rd year in a row.

    Predicting line: Siena -5
    My play: SIENA ML ALL IN BABY

    SIENA WILL NOT LOSE. I WILL BE PLAYING ML UNLESS IT IS ABOVE -400.

              best play is to fade Siena first half since they have been starting out so slow, and then pound them at halftime with the 2nd half bet........

              Siena needs this game, as I highly doubt they get into the big dance without the auto bid

                i am not so sure i would call it a guarantee, although i respect siena as the favorite here. i have to say fairfield has been playing at a high level the last few weeks and r no pushover..that being said siena is virtually unbeatable on its home court n its paid dividends for them the last 2 yrs as theyve captured the automatic NCAA bid. however siena has at times looked shaky in these tourney games falling behind both manahattan n rider before restoring order to finish out both games, ill tell u though fairfield is a cut above both manhattan n rider n possess the inside game with johnson n a few super frosh who can get it done from outside to challenge siena a bit...i do worry a little bit about fairfields experience as they r on the big stage for the first time in a long time n u never kno wut to expect in these situations...if they come out n play at the level theyve been playing without showing many nerves i think they have a good shot to upset the saints here as i dont think this siena team is as good as last yrs when they had hasbrouck but an impressive team nevertheless...fairfield is a stretch i think but if fairfield comes out n gains a little confidence watch out boys, take the points here with fairfield +7.5.

                          Fairfield might be the play here, be careful, i have no interest in this game what so ever, but i would not dive off into the deep end on the Fav. However i hope you are right,
                          Good Luck
