Marist looking for the regular season sweep of Siena when the Red Foxes march north to the MVP arena on Thursday. Marist returning to full strength with the return of Brickner and Price who didn't play against the Saints in their first meet up.
Keys to the game won't change much, Saints needs some hope 😉, some luck 🍀 and a few prayers 🙏 answered to get another win. Marist (any team) will have success by pressuring Siena's gaurd play.

This is actually one of our best shots at winning a game this year. Could have easily beat them down there (50-48) a few weeks ago.

TeamRankings.com does not believe that Saints have much of a shot at beating Marist on Thursday night :
Siena Basketball Predictions Update Feb 5, 2024 • After losing to Mt St Marys 68-61 yesterday, Siena is now projected to finish the regular season 5-26 (4-16 MAAC). • We currently rank Siena as the #354 team in the country, and the #11 team in the MAAC. • Next game: Thu, Feb 8 vs. #249 Marist. Our power ratings give the Saints a 27% chance to win.
I cast my vote for the Red Foxes and hoping sooner than later, the Saints will surprise us and win a game that none of us think then can. Wishful thinking.

Marist has a weak offensive team. If Siena is going to win any remaining game this one is winnable.

If Siena can match the defensive effort they exhibited against MSM, and limit the turnovers, then this game is winnable. First team to 60 wins?

Marist has a weak offensive team. If Siena is going to win any remaining game this one is winnable. Defense is what wins most college basketball games. Marist has two of their key players back and they are the better defensive team. It will take a near perfect 40 min game by the Saints and a lack luster performance by the Red Foxes for Siena to win.

I don't disagree but still this is one of the "better" opportunities to play the perfect 40 and get a win. They could win this game scoring 60 points. There are not many games where that is possible.

Who really cares anymore. Talk about really screwing up a good thing. Darg should have went to St. Johns and Carm should settle for "Stay at Home Dad". Get one of Fran's sons to coach or even take Darg's place and I guaranty a move up from 350 ranking to at least 175. At least we wont stand out as much in the cellar.

Isn't the game tonight? If SD and ME hit their averages, the turnovers are cut down and a better effort at 3pt defense; we have a shot.

Who would want to be there for this garbage. We will be lucky to even score.
