Welcome to Day Two of the TCHB MAAC tournament blogathon. 

First things first: If you haven't already, submit your picks for the men's tournament pool to rutgersfootballblog@gmail.com before 7:30 p.m. tonight. The total number of points scored in the title game will be the tiebreaker. 

As for our recap of Day One, today's Trentonian has a game story on the Rider women's team's season-ending loss to Loyola, along with a story on the MAAC awards ceremony, which saw Jason Thompson named Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, and Tommy Dempsey named Coach of the Year. 

As far as Day Two is concerned, we already have one women's game in the books: Second-seeded Iona crushed No. 7 Loyola (which beat Rider yesterday) and became the first time to advance to the semifinals. 

No. 3 Fairfield and No. 6 Siena are playing right now, and with  12:20 left in the first half, the Saints lead 13-11. 

There's a MUCH bigger crowd for this game than there was for either of the two women's games yesterday, including a section full of local school children. Old friend Tom Cleary, the sports editor of the Fairfield Mirror, had a good question to which I don't know the answer: where are the Siena band and cheerleaders? The Saints are playing on their home court, but have no band, cheerleaders, or mascot. Fairfield, meanwhile, has its band and cheerleaders here despite the fact that they had to travel two hours to get here and are on spring break.
