Siena University Athletics

The 1949-50 men's basketball team became the first-ever team formally inducted into the Siena Athletics Hall of Fame. The trailblazing squad laid the foundation for what the Siena Basketball program would grow into in future decades, highlighted by winning the 1950 National Catholic Invitational Tournament Championship. The 1949-50 team opened the season with 14 straight victories on their way to establishing a program-record 27-win season. A total of 10 future Siena Athletics Hall of Famers were a part of the 1949-50 squad.
