2001–02 Siena Saints men's basketball team

The 2001–02 Siena Saints men's basketball team represented Siena College in the 2001–02 college basketball season. This was head coach Rob Lanier's first season at Siena. The Saints competed in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) and played their home games at Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York. They finished the season 17–19, 9–9 in MAAC play to end up seventh in the regular season standings. Sitting with a 12–18 record, but buoyed by the advantage of playing on their home court, the team won four games in four days to capture the 2002 MAAC men's basketball tournament and earn the conference's automatic bid to the 2002 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. The Saints received one of two 16 seeds in the East region. Siena won the play-in game over Alcorn State before being defeated by No. 1 seed and eventual National champion Maryland in the opening round.
