News & notes

 Will Brown is not coming to Siena at all.

Siena chose to stay in-house, and promoted women's basketball assistant coach Terry Primm to head coach on Friday, maintaining some continuity. When Primm acted as interim coach in the absence of Jim Jabir during the 2022-3 season, he went 6-1, and that alone might've been enough incentive for the promotion.


Since the season ended last month in the semi-finals of the MAAC tournament, Siena has seen several players enter the transfer portal, including stars Elisa Mevius and London Gamble. With Primm's promotion comes the prospect of them returning.

Brown will be looking for a new gig after the College of St. Rose closes next month. Siena had a chance to bring him in, twice, and whiffed both times, although in the case of the women's team, Primm's familiarity with the system was a deciding factor.
===============================================
When the Albany FireWolves take the field at MVP Arena tonight vs. Toronto, they'll wear the colors of the last NLL team to call Albany home, the Attack, who played from 2000-3, and even had future WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley doing commercials for them.

Well, throwbacks are a trendy thing in baseball and football, too, for special promotions, so maybe the 'Wolves, who've clinched a playoff spot, might have something here.
===============================================
The Albany Patroons placed 5 players in double figures in beating Connecticut, 103-91, on Friday. The Pats return home tonight to play Rhode Island at the Washington Avenue Armoey at 7 pm, concurrent with the Albany-Toronto game at MVP Arena.
