Siena basketball freshmen get Albany Cup baptism

Loudonville The five freshmen on the Siena men's basketball team will experience the Albany Cup rivalry for the first time on Saturday. But they did get a glimpse into what the atmosphere might be like just three days earlier. Roman Penn, Prince Oduro, Christian Bentley, Jordan Horn and Manny Camper got their first college experience in a pro-size arena before a large crowd (17,215) in Wednesday's 86-60 loss at Louisville. The Saints (2-6) turn around to play the University at Albany (9-1) on Saturday night at Times Union Center in front of an attendance that could surpass 10,000 in an emotional battle for Capital Region bragging rights.
