LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. -- Hard to believe, but we are inside a month to go until the start of the college basketball season. Siena got their fans all fired up about it Tuesday night with their version of Midnight Madness.

It was Siena Madness at the ARC at a much more reasonable time of 9:00 pm. The men's and women's basketball teams showed off their stuff for the fans, and the guys had a slam dunk contest.

Hundreds of students and fans came out to support the Saints and some even got the chance to play a little ball with the players. Events like this gets the fans amped for the upcoming season, and it has the same effect on the players as well.

The Siena men and women play their first game of the year on Friday, November 9th at the Times Union Center.
