Good afternoon from the Times Union Center, where Rider and Siena will play tonight for the MAAC tournament title and an automatic NCAA tournament berth. 

Both teams held open practices today, so I caught up with both Fran McCaffery and Tommy Dempsey. 

The news on Justin Robinson is similar to yesterday: he will dress, but whether he will play is yet to be determined. 

Dempsey said that yesterday, Robinson could go through basic drills, but that he couldn't cut or jump. 

Today he participated in the Broncs' walkthrough, but there was no cutting and not much jumping involved. 

He'll be a game-time decision, but I'd expect Matt Griffin to start again at point guard no matter what. 

Griffin had four assists and only one turnover in 34 minutes during last night's 76-71 semifinal win over Marist. 

Tonight's game is on ESPN2, and I ran into Jay Bilas last night in the hotel lobby. 

As I had heard from multiple people, he's a really nice guy. 

Sean McDonough, Bill Raftery and Bilas -- for my $0.02 the best broadcast team ESPN has -- will call the game. 

My introduction to sports was watching the Red Sox on Sunday afternoons on WSBK-TV, with McDonough and Bob Montgomery calling the action. 

But if you're able to watch the game, keep your computer near by so you can follow along on the blog.
