By Bill Hamm

Round two kicks off in the 1980s bracket with a matchup between Marc Brown and Steve McCoy. Let’s take a look:

Marc Brown (1): “Showbiz” played for the Saints from 1987-1991. He scored 32 points, including the winning free throws, in the 1989 NCAA tournament win against Stanford. The win was Siena’s first in the tournament. Marc topped that 32 point total three times in his career, setting a career high with 44 during his senior season, the second highest single game total in school history. His 816 points his senior year is the second highest season total, behind only Doremus Bennerman’s 858 in 1994. For his career Brown is Siena’s all-time leading scorer with 2,284 points. His point total was aided by his accuracy from behind the arc where he hit 42.3% of his shots. Despite all those converted field goals Brown was also a very capable distributer. He is a close second to Ronald Moore on the all-time assist list with 796, a 6.5 assist per game average. Marc’s 221 steals are also fourth in Siena history. In recognition of his accomplishments Brown achieved AP Honorable Mention All-American status in his senior season. He was inducted into the Siena Hall of Fame in 1998 and achieved the highest of honors when his jersey was retired during the 2010-11 season.

Steve McCoy (4): McCoy played for the Saints from 1985-89. He was a member of the 1989 squad that made Siena’s first NCAA appearance and shocked #13 ranked, 3 seed, Stanford in the opening round 80-78. For his career McCoy scored 1334 points, 17th on the all-time list. He led the Saints in rebounding in all four of his seasons. His best season came in his senior year when he averaged 9.3 boards a game, 278 total, 11th best all-time. His career total of 969 is third highest in Siena history trailing only Ryan Rossiter and Lee Matthews. Steve was inducted into the Siena Hall of Fame in 1994.
