The Monster and Traveller's Club Vodka have been broken out. The chili is simmering and Bill Raftery is bringing us Siena and Northeastern. This is a VERY good Siena team and should win, but we all win for being able to see them nationally this early in the year. We're all a bit more chipper after a little bit of much needed sleep and some good games should lead to some good blogging.

Little Dan just got in from a run and bringing the distinct smell of sweat to all the other odors floating through the house. It's what we keep him around for.
Northeastern with a little 5 point spurt after 3.5 minutes of 0 ball. 5-2 Northeastern at the first media timeout.
Vinny Lima from the basketball power house of Cape Verde pushes the Northeastern to 7-2 How do you tell a kid to come from tropical Africa to Boston, especially in the winter?
Siena missing some bunnies and in general not playing well. Very unlike them, but I'm sure they'll break out of their funk.
A look at Siena after a time out shows a guy in a vest, rolled up dress shirt, and arm tattoos on their bench? Did he come to the game on a Harley? His he a Hell's Angel they use for security?
20-6 at the under 8 media timeout with Northeastern holding the edge. Surprising to say the least.
Acrobat? Scuba diver? Basketball player? Does he knit on the side? Fantastic stuff there.
Bad defense by Siena. Bad offense by Siena, Coach Fran looks like someone poop in his cereal and took his lunch money.
Lovin' the ONIONS shirt that was given to Raftery, I'd like one, but I want it to specify they're Vidalias instead of Pearls.
Ubiles: 10. The rest of Siena: 2. Saints need to find some offensive help soon which they just did in the form of a Jackson 3. 20-15 Northeastern.
Little Dan just gawked at our attractive (hey, Katie!) neighbors. She had shorts that would better fit a 3 year old than a 21 year old. College is good. On a rather unrelated note my stomach has a war being waged between mozz sticks, beer, vodka, coffee, Monster, chili, aspirin...
We're looking at a very uneventful first half. A lot of missed shots by both teams.
26-20 NE at the half. Great awareness to get that floater of a buzzerbeater off in time. That's what they go to a smart folks school.
Little Dan just said he was "being taken advantage of" and seemed to like it. That's how you get the second half underway.
What's with the yellow men's 3 point line? It's nearly impossible to see even in HD. Poor planning, County of Albany.
Siena takes the lead! Siena takes the lead! 28-27 on a nice step through reverse. This might be where Siena finds their stride and pulls away.
And Siena is off and running. A great debate has erupted: Are you comfortable pooping in front of your significant other. Rob isn't... though he's chiming in on this from the toilet down the hall. The rest of us are. We missed the 12PM photo update so we'll get that up as soon as Rob is finishing getting his money's worth.

Hey, this is Rob filling in for Dan while he works on his computer. Siena is not looking like the Sweet 16 team some think they can be--they look a little banal on offense. The tarped seats are giving me a strong Florida Marlins vibe. Landshark Stadium kind of a thing going on up in Albany. We've also noticed the presence of alcoholic beverages at the Siena game. We've got our own little cocktail hour going strong in New Brunswick.
Siena is keeping an elf on their bench. Special assistant to the head coach or something. Elves have a storied history in basketball going back to Vinny Del Negro. They make excellent field generals but tend to be poor in the low post. Buckets on a three for the Siena Saints, 48-40.
