This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Final score: Siena 80, Florida State 63. FSU is 1-5. by Kayo
I toggled to the game duringKansas-Wisconsin breaks. FSU isvery bad.
I caught some transfer conversation about Siena specifically and lower level programs in general. Transferring works both ways, transferring up like Marcus Hammond did and downshifting. Siena has players from Utah, North Carolina, and Iowa as well as lateral movers from San Jose State, Pepperdine, and Middle Tennessee. The former major conference players are not intimidated when they walk onto a major program court.
Siena and other programs are experienced, and their rosters include several players who were considered major conference talent when recruited from high school but didn't flourish at their original schools for a variety of reasons.
This is going to make for an interesting NCAA Tournament.
