I'm assuming that doesn't factor in the injury to Jones and the return of Wright so the odds are likely even better.

Long way to go but if Siena finishes strong and gets the #2 seed with Wright looking close to his pre-injury form with the home-court and no Jones for Monmouth you might see Siena go off as the Vegas favorite to win the tournament.
But Rider will be tough tomorrow another big game. We need to come out strong don't be fooled by the Broncs record they've been playing very well since mid-January and have a bunch of talented juniors/seniors.
Rider game opens as a pick 'em - need to come out strong and get another win road W!

Don't be so quick to dismiss Iona, if they should beat us at the TUC, to be labeled the favorite. Especially with their recent history against Siena. They'll come in as a wounded dog looking for revenge. And Monmouth will be salivating to see the two of us ripping each other apart figuratively.

Now with their win over Monmouth it's imperative for Siena to beat the Gaels to hopefully finish 2nd.

Here's the main difference between the #2 and #3 seed.
#2 plays Friday at 9:30pm (against a team who played the night before) and with a win Sunday at 7pm (43 hours of rest)
#3 plays Saturday at 7pm (against a team that had a day off) and with a win Sunday at 7pm (22 hours of rest)
Also Manhattan is likely to be the #6 - if you get by them (and I think Siena/Iona would) they are a very physically taxing team. This is assuming Manhattan beats Marist.
No question there is an advantage being #2 vs #3 - the MAAC changed it for a reason.
