WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Marching On: The Saints have won four straight and currently lead the MAAC in scoring offense with 75.1 ppg. However, the team’s four wins — two against Iona and two against St. Peter’s — came against squad’s ranked ninth and tenth in the MAAC, respectively. Momentum is momentum though, so look for Siena to come out charging.

Defense, Defense, Defense: Fairfield enters the game coming off another huge win Sunday against Loyola. Fairfield currently leads the MAAC in scoring defense, allowing the opposition to net only 64.9 ppg. Look for Fairfield to be unfazed by Siena’s offensive prowess, as the Stags have played some of their best basketball against teams with high scoring averages.
