WHAT TO WATCH FOR

SIENA SURPISE: Despite posting a 2-11 record before Monday’s game against top-seeded Iona, Siena forced the Gaels into double-overtime before losing. The Saints shot a solid 45 % from the field and played well enough to almost end Iona’s perfect 4-0 MAAC record. They’ll show up again on Friday for some more tough competition.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN: The Stags have been on the road for 10 of their last 11 outings. During that span, they have played conference opponents three times, going a perfect 3-0. Fairfield will look to continue its success outside the Constitution State.
