Andrew Platek also has 10.8 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Siena while Jared Billups has a team-high 6.3 RPG to lead the Saints in rebounding so far this season. As a team, Siena is averaging 71.9 PPG on 45.2% shooting from the field, 38% from three and 74.6% from the foul line this season.
The Delaware Blue Hens will try to build on a 77-69 win over Delaware State last time out. Jameer Nelson Jr. leads the Blue Hens in scoring and assists with 18.8 PPG and 3.2 APG with 5 RPG as well while Jyare Davis has 16.2 PPG with 4.6 RPG and 3.1 APG this season. L.J.

Siena is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a loss and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 road games. Delaware is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games in their last 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games following an ATS loss.
I get the case to be made either way in this game, but I’m leaning towards Siena and the points. These are two evenly matched teams, but I feel that Siena is slightly more battle-tested and Delaware has had some issues recently in the favorite role. I’ll side with Siena and the points in this one.
