    8 Sep 2010 | 10:19 am
    In case anyone’s forgotten that Siena has won five Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference titles, more than any other school since joining the league in 1989-90, the folks over in Loudonville are happy to offer a reminder with a new logo commemorating their accomplishments. In partnership with Phoenix Design Works, Siena produced the logo celebrating the school’s MAAC championships in 1999, 2002, 2008, 2009 and 2010.  “We wanted branding that would celebrate the tremendous achievements of our men’s team, and really be a rallying cry for all our Siena sports,”…

Not surprisingly, the expectations are higher for Siena, the three-time defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champion, than they are for UAlbany, coming off a 7-25 season. The Sporting News predicts Siena will finish fourth in the MAAC this season, while UAlbany is chosen eighth in the America East. The Sporting News picks Fairfield to win the MAAC and Maine to capture the America East. Meanwhile, Lindy’s chooses Siena second in the MAAC and…

"We're playing Duke."Cal Poly Pomona players are understandably thrilled to get to face Duke in an exhibition game this fall, but the contest will also hold at least a little intrigue for the rest of us as well.

  • Net Reaction: Will Enes Kanter ever play for Kentucky?

    Jeff Eisenberg

    I already gave you my reaction to the the New York Times report alleging that Kentucky freshman Enes Kanter received more than $100,000 in cash and benefits from his former Turkish pro team. Here's a sampling of reaction and analysis from around the web:Luke Winn, SI.com: The key here isn't the $100-150K that Kanter allegedly received, since amateurs in the European system are allowed to receive necessary travel, lodging and food benefits from their clubs and still be eligible in the eyes of the NCAA. What matters is that Kanter, according to Karakas, was paid a salary for his time with…

Former West Virginia star Mike Gansey was kind enough to join us this week to provide a scouting report on the Big East:  1. Who's your pick to win the Big East this season?I think it will be a two-team race between Pitt and Villanova. Jamie Dixon coached teams always play so hard and always seem to win 25 games every season. They have a good nucleus returning this year and with Wannamaker, Gibbs, and Brown they have three guys that can win a lot of games together.

    Looks like the Washington Huskies dodged a potential headache when former recruit Enes Kanter (far left) reneged on a verbal commitment and chose Kentucky. During his recruitment there was speculation about Kanter's NCAA eligibility because the 18-year-old Turkish star played on a professional team in Europe. Kanter denied taking a salary, however, the general manager of Fenerbahce Ulker, Nedim Karakas, said Kanter received more than $100,000 in cash and benefits over three years.

In fact, Stewart guaranteed a Final Four appearance if UW lands Wroten. Stewart, a 6-2 shooting guard rated a three-star recruit by Rivals. com, had been recruited by UCLA, Oregon State, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State. He's rated a three-star prospect by Scout.com and Rivals.com, but received a lot of attention from college scouts this summer when he averaged about 25 points and…

Will Barton, who the best basketball tipsters consider as arguably the best shooting guard to join the college ranks this year, has been ruled academically ineligible by the NCAA and would now seem unlikely ever to pull on a Tigers jersey before heading off to the NBA next summer.
