The Stags are 6-2 ATS in their last eight after an ATS win and 17-8 ATS in their last 25 overall. Fairfield is 2-5 ATS in their last seven after a straight-up loss.
Meanwhile, the Saints are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five after an ATS loss. The under is 3-1-1 in Siena’s last five overall.
PICK: I’m going to try Siena here. Probably not going near this one, though. The Saints have been a mixed bag on the scoreboard over this 3-3 streak; they’ve hit 68 or more points in three of those games, and 60 or fewer in the other three. The last time these teams met up, Siena managed a 69-62 road win. This one should be pretty tight as well, but if the Saints can get into a good rhythm offensively I think they’ll be okay.
