Siena vs Fairfield Prediction

Siena is coming off of a loss in their last game at home by double digits but they had won 3 straight games prior to that loss. They have played very well in a lot of their games this season and they will be looking to bounce back here after a very bad loss at home. They have been decent on the road this season and they are managing to win more conference games than they have been losing. Fairfield has a losing conference record though and they also have a losing record at home where they will be in this game. Fairfield is also coming off of a loss in their last game by 3 points on the road but they had won 2 straight games prior to that loss. Fairfield has been playing much better recently and they will likely keep this game close at home but they still have not been great at home this season and Siena is the overall better team here. Siena should escape this game with a win on the road but it will be a very close game as Fairfield keeps it close.

Notable Quotes

 
"I think we could have been better down the stretch, both offensively, defensively. We lost that game on an offensive rebound. Those are things we can't allow to happen and if we secure that, we could close out that game. Little things like that about being more disciplined and better down the stretch." - Anthony Gates after a loss against Manhattan.
 
 
“I thought we maybe rested on our laurels. At the end of the day, snow day or not, no class or not on a Friday, our focus has to be much better. ... They did what they do, and they did it better than us." - Carmen Maciariello on his team’s loss against Rider.
