WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — The last Division I Men's Basketball game played in Wilkes-Barre was December 27th, 2005, when the Syracuse Orange defeated Townson 86-52.
The Scranton native, Gerry McNamara, was a player on that Syracuse team. Now, as the head coach of the Siena Saints, McNamara is once again victorious after a game in the Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza.
Siena defeated the Bucknell Bison 71-58 Saturday night in front of McNamara's home crowd, snapping a four-game losing streak.
