The Siena Saints come into this matchup with wins in three of their last four games. Siena sits atop the conference standings and know that the only road to the NCAA Tournament will be through a conference tournament title. The Saints completed a 7-2 January with a win over Marist, 70-55, in their last outing. The seven wins matched Siena's most wins in a month since 2010. Jared Billups led the way over Marist with a career-high 24 points. Billups added seven rebounds as well in his best performance as a Saint. Killian Gribben came off the bench and scored 12 points on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting. Siena won the game despite missing two starters.

Siena showed its depth in the last outing, winning without two of its starters. Siena's offense continued to shine, as it has all season in the MAAC. The Saints are ranked third in the conference in scoring offense thus far. In addition, they are third in field goal percentage and third in three-point percentage in the conference. Siena is a bit sloppy with the basketball, ranked ninth in the conference in fewest turnovers per game. Defensively, the Saints are fifth scoring defense. They are tenth in opponent's field goal percentage and fifth in 3pt defense. Siena is seventh in the MAAC in rebounding.
Key Injuries: Javian McCollum (back) is listed as questionable after missing the last game.
