Tech gearing to play Siena next three seasons

Georgia Tech’s men’s basketball team will play Siena this season in the first of a three-game agreement, according to the Albany Times-Union.

The Jackets will play in Loudonville the next season and return to Atlanta in 2011-12.

Georgia Tech would not confirm the game because a contract has not been signed.

Tech coach Paul Hewitt coached the Saints from 1997-2000, guiding them to one NCAA tournament appearance, before coming to Tech.

Backup center Brad Sheehan is from the Albany area, and will be a senior when the teams play there.
