Game is on ESPN+. You can sign up for a free 7 day trial.
I wonder if the former Siena HQ will be in attendance tonight???

Siena (+7): Siena was awful last year with an 8-24 record and finishing tied for last in the MAAC. Now out at head coach is Jimmy Patsos and in is Jamion Christian. I won’t act like they are all of the sudden a good team, but I do find them intriguing and I think they can win 14 or 15 games this season. We’ll start with their size, and there’s a lot of it. In their opener against Providence on Tuesday Christian used a 10 man rotation and 7 of those players were 6’6″ or taller. Among that group are a pair of Seniors in Fisher and Degnan who combine with some promising looking Freshman to form what I already mentioned is an intriguing roster. The Freshman I’m talking about are Seymour, Ratliff and Pickett. Seymour and Ratliff are similar type players who are stretch 4’s that can really shoot the 3. Pickett is a big, strong guard who at 6’4″ has the length to give opposing guards plenty of trouble on the defensive end. Just about across the board Siena is going to have a size advantage over George Washington and that’s a huge part of this play. George Washington doesn’t have as much depth as Siena and they only saw 7 players get meaningful minutes in their opener against Stony Brook. Of those 7 players, 4 of them are 6’3″ or shorter. Potter and Nolan give them a small backcourt and even at only 6’3″ Mazzulla has been forced into some heavy minutes up front. You’d think a team that doesn’t have much size would be able to shoot the 3 well, but that isn’t the case with GW either. Nolan will take his share of 3’s but at only 31% career he’s nothing to worry about. Potter is a similar story as he’s also only a 31% career 3 point shooter himself. The truth is there really isn’t anyone on this roster that can stretch a defense and make you worry about the 3 ball. That obviously allows the defense to sag down low and crowd the paint, when you do that against a team without much size they figure to have trouble scoring. As you can probably tell by now I’m not big on George Washington this year and I think they could struggle to find their way to double digit wins. Siena has more size, more depth, more shooters and more firepower. I won’t quite go as far as to say the wrong team is favored, but I do think this line is about 3-4 points higher than it should be. I’ll take my chances with Siena and 7 points in my back pocket.

Lol Actually it’s on TV all ya’ need is a smart TV, RoKu, Apple Box etc ...download the ESPN app available via the Google store or Roku etc.... and sign-up. Free 7 day offer or keep it for $4.99 mo. You can even upstream it from your phone to your TV. This is TV today! I guess there might be a few dinosaurs with tube TVs and basic cable for those few there’s always the radio😉 Let’s go Saints!

Shows it as a choice for me, but it just says Siena vs G Wash starts at 7:00 PM on Thursday, November 08. It is now 7:07. Still no video.

I found it, but if you use the search bar, they've never heard of the game. Scroll down to college basketball (like 100 games) and you ll see the link
