Michael Eley returned from a hamstring injury and scored 24 points, but the skidding Siena Saints dropped their 6th straight, a 68-61 loss to Mount St. Mary's spoiling Hall of Fame Day at MVP Arena.
On a day when recent stars like Edwin Ubiles & Brett Bisping were being inducted into the Saints' Hall of Fame, Athletic Director John D'Argenio gave coach Carmen Maciariello the dreaded vote of confidence, saying that "Coach Carm" will be back next year. A miracle run in next month's MAAC tournament in Atlantic City might help administration's final decision.
