Siena and Rider have developed quite a rivalry in recent years.
Last night, the two teams almost come to blows more than once during Siena’s 78-68 win. After the game, Rider’s coach pulled his team off the court and refused to do a handshake line.
Siena head coach Jimmy Patsos decided to take matters into his own hand:
