PLAYER TO WATCH Gavin Doty made an immediate impact in his first season donning the Green and Gold last winter. The Fulton, New York product was a unanimous MAAC All-Rookie Team honoree after earning a league-high five MAAC Rookie of the Week awards, including four over the final six weeks. A Preseason Second Team All-MAAC selection entering his sophomore season, Doty registered nine 20-point performances and six double-doubles through Feb. 15, and continues to rank amongst the MAAC leaders in scoring, rebounding, assist-to-turnover ratio, and minutes played. NOTABLE ALUMNI The all-time leading scorer in Siena Basketball history with 2,284 career points, Marc Brown ’91 was inducted into the 2017 MAAC Hall of Fame Honor Roll. Brown led Siena to three national postseason tournament appearances, highlighted by the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 1989, and which culminated with a First Round upset of Stanford. He was named the 1991 MAAC Player of the Year and a First Team All-MAAC and All-MAAC Tournament Team selection in each of Siena’s first two seasons in the conference. A 1998 Siena Athletics Hall of Fame inductee who played 15 years professionally overseas, Brown has spent more than a decade as the head coach at Division III New Jersey City University.

HEAD COACH GERRY MCNAMARA Syracuse legend and 2003 National Champion Gerry McNamara is in his second season as the head coach of the Siena University Men’s Basketball program. Named the 19 th head coach in program history on March 29, 2024, the now 42-year-old Scranton, Pennsylvania native took over the reins of the Siena program after spending the previous 15 years on staff with the Orange. Named a Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year (top mid-major head coach) nominee on Dec. 16, McNamara was one of 16 finalists nationally for the CollegeInsider.com Joe B. Hall Award (top first-time head coach) after leading the Saints to a 10-win improvement – tied for the ninth best turnaround nationally – in his first season at the helm. One of the most decorated players in the storied Syracuse history, McNamara is the program’s all-time career record holder for made threes (400), free throw percentage (.888), and minutes played (4,799). McNamara had his No. 3 jersey retired by Syracuse on Mar. 4, 2023.
