The Siena Saints haven’t played a game since December 11, so there are serious concerns for rust, and it’s probably why they’re underdogs here. However, let’s not act like the Fairfield Stags are playing impressive ball, as they’ve lost three straight games and their offense has been held to a combined 101 points in their last two games. Before their lengthy layoff, Siena was playing its best ball of the season, and the Saints will have the best payer on the floor for this contest.

I’ll grab the free bucket with Siena.
