Throught the college basketball season, local people have had the pride of supporting our own hometwon Siena Saints over at Siena College. But this season they can't seem to get it together. The team this year is relying too heavily on Freshmen, who seem to be unexperienced. Most of the older students are busy, with a full schedule of tough classes that have studying, so they can't practice. They've been having a rather sad season with a record of 4-7, with 3 of those wins at home. The players are beating themselves up about it. The intensity level and commitment level just isn't there anymore. But what can they do? Fall behind in classes to play on a team where most of them won't see the pro level? Students put too much stress into making sure sports is close to their number one priority. As a result, grades suffer and they hurt themselves even more. The atheletes need to remember that they are students first, and once they realize that, only then will they be able to be successful.
