Cal Poly
Kenpom: Overall = 331 Offense = 305 Defense = 332
Strengths: 3 point shooting (38%) Defensive rebounding
Weaknesses: Everything else.
Kenpom predicts a 6 point Siena win on the road. Beat that spread and Siena's ranking will rise. On paper, this is a game Saints should win comfortably.
The FT disparity should be large and the Saints should win the possession battle significantly in both rebounding and TO margin. Their FG% defense is absolutely horrible. They only have 7 blocks on the entire year. The 2 pt FGs with the AND 1 could happen quite often for Siena in this one...as they're 317th in 2pt defense and 347th in fouling. Could have a field day attacking the rack.
The main issue to watch out for is if they get hot from three. Otherwise, the Saints should roll in this one on paper and potentially beat the predicted margin of victory.

Is this an ESPN+ game? I can't remember. My memory is exactly what it has always been, spotty at best. Let's Go Saints!!!

A little concerned with the mid-major travel theory but we'll be there in plenty of time (getting there tonight 9pm PST).
We're not in position to overlook anyone and we badly need a win. After three tough losses against very good competition I think we'll be ready.
Cal Poly has struggled but they've played some really good teams - Iowa, Creighton, St. Mary's to name a few.
Getting Jalen back in the line-up will be a welcomed sight. Hopefully this is the game we get some production from the bench!

Still can’t believe we couldn’t get another game in Cali for a much needed return game in ‘20-‘21. Long way to fly to play a team in the 300s. Now if it was UCLA, USC etc....and they wanted to give us 100k, that would have been fine too.

Carm instead chose to add another home game and we got American at TUC instead. Had he not dined that, they're 1-4 with only 1 home game in 45 days coming into this weekend and looking at 2-5 after the trip.

We are usually in the 32-34 range. 29 is the max you are allowed to play in the regular season unless you are in an MTE (multi-team event, like Orlando). That pushes your max to 31. Then get up to 32-34 based on conference tournaments and such. It’s a strange rule that I don’t understand but the rules are the rules.

Very good point-- normally you would want the buy game at UCLA--- but we would probably be sitting 1-5 right now and the natives would be beyond restless..Schedule just didnt allow for it this year. Plus after 3 straight losses, team is focused and ready to play tonight. Its a game we 'need' in the worst way -- team will be feeling good going into finals-- fans will be satisfied , and we have a ton of home games coming up. A loss tonight-- and its going to be a long two weeks for players, coaches and fans till next game, and most of us will have to readjust expectations
