Roster Report
The Broncs were hoping the loss to
Siena in the MAAC title game did not mark the end of the season.
<!-- FOXBITE --> "We tied for the regular season (title)," said senior star
Jason Thompson. "We won 23 games and we've done everything that we possibly can." Said his coach, Tommy Dempsey: "I hope it's not over. I think this team deserves an NIT bid. I believe that when you share the regular season with
Siena, who got the automatic bid. ... Now, obviously they don't need it."
The Broncs had a 23-10 win over the course of the regular season and the MAAC tournament. They were riddled by injuries at the league tournament and wound up losing to that same
Siena team on its home floor.
After the game,
Siena coach Fran McCaffery said, "I just told Tommy Dempsey, 'You're getting a bid.'"
The Broncs beat
Canisius and
Marist in
Albany before scoring a season-low 53 points in the final.
