The Siena Saints have looked awful at both ends of the court through two games. The Yale Bulldogs have more than held their own through three games, especially on the defensive side, and they’ve had great covering success on the road dating back to last season. Siena has a lot of improving to do before I can get behind the Saints in these spots. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with Yale on the road.
