Lonely End of the Court?

Well despite feeling as awful as I have this week, I'm heading out to catch NU host Siena in a big MAAC match up. Siena is 15-1 in conference play and 22-6 overall have already won the league’s regular season championship. The Purple Eagles stand in second with 22-7 record and 12-4 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

Niagara has been strong as of late, topping off Illinois State last week, and is gearing up for the MAAC tourney in Albany next week. Siena has had NU's number in the past, winning the last seven meetings and three straight at home in the Gallagher Centre. Niagara's last winning coming in the 2007 MAAC Championship.

The game is being televised on ESPNU at 7pm, but if you live in the area head on over to the Gallagher Centre and watch some local college hoops.

Update: Turns out that the Niagara University Athletic Department has announced that tonight's ESPNU game against the Siena Saints sold out.

Thoughts Somewhere Else

Sharks-Sabres tonight, you would think I'd be a bit more excited for the game tonight but as most people here in Western New York I've been glued to the news since about 10:30 last night. WNY is a tight knit community and chances are you may have known someone involved in the crash last night, in fact I may self have come to find out that it happened in one of my friend's backyard of her apartment. Thankfully she is okay but I do not know the status of her home but her health is all that matters.
Tonight is a key match up against a Sharks team whom is regarded as one of the best in the league, they gave the Bruins a loss on Tuesday and lost in a shoot out Wednesday against the Penguins. The Sabres are getting "Balls" Sekera back tonight so that means Mike Weber will be doing the I-90 shuffle I-90 to the I-95 shuffle.

Apparently SJ Sharkie and Sabre Tooth are best friends, or having a secret long distance relationship.
