Siena is coming into this game as a 3 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. They have been playing very well coming into this game on a 4 game win streak and they are going up against a Manhattan side that has not been playing that well recently. Their wins have been coming by less than 5 points and they have lost a few games now in their last 3. Siena lost a close game at home by 5 points to Manhattan earlier in the season and they will surely be looking for their revenge here now that they have been playing a lot better than Manhattan has been. The best bet to place in this game is on Siena to cover the spread here as they have a chance to win this game.

“We worked on it. I was a big fan of the 1-3-1. Actually, my high school coach Jim Zullo, we ran it in high school and he’s a tremendous teacher. I really thought it would limit them. I think a couple of possessions (Marist) took some quick 3s that kind of fueled our break and kind of got us to push the ball a little bit. It also stopped their penetration and was able to get us some rhythm and take them out of rhythm.” -Carmen Maciariello on his team’s win against Marist.

 

 

“I think if you’re going to go with 11 teams, it’s really important who you bring in. At the end of the day, I have no feeling towards what we do, I care about what it leads to. And what I mean by that is how do we get multiple teams in [the NCAA Tournament], how do we raise the profile of our league and play on national TV? That’s what’s important, and those are the things we should be worrying about.” - Steve Masiello on a possible expansion in the MAAC.
