Siena men's basketball team enters the new season with ambitions of repeating as conference champions, with new head coach Nevada Smith set to make his official debut on Monday night against Bryant University.
Smith, who takes over the program, expressed confidence in the squad, stating "We believe we are the best" as the Saints prepare for their title defense in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).
The season opener at Bryant marks the beginning of Smith's tenure after he was appointed to lead the program. The Saints will look to build on last season's championship success under his guidance.
Veteran sportswriter Mark Singelais of the Times Union reported on the team's outlook ahead of the highly anticipated debut.
