Saints Goal: No. 2
SIENA VS NO. 2 MEMPHIS
When: Tonight, 9 p.m.
Where: FedEx Forum (18,400), Memphis, Tenn.
Radio: WOFX - AM 590 (Robert Lee, Tom Huerter)
TV: Comcast Sports Southeast (Bob Neal, Richard Williams) will be aired on TW3 in Capital Region
2007-08 Records: Siena 7-4 overall (2-0 MAAC), Memphis 11-0 overall (0-0 Conference USA)
Last Meeting: Siena 72, Memphis 59, Washington Avenue Armory, Albany, Jan. 21, 1953
All-Time Series: Siena leads series 1-0
Siena Notes: The Saints are coming off of their biggest win in almost seven years, a 35-point victory over Dartmouth on Monday. This is the highest ranked opponent Siena has ever played, with the Tigers ranked No. 2 in the nation. The Saints are 3-3 all-time against teams from Conference USA, but this is only the second matchup since Siena started playing at the Division I level. The other, an 89-79 win over Tulane in the 1994 NIT before a school-record 15,727 at Knickerbocker Arena. Siena will again be without third leading scorer and leading rebounder Alex Franklin, who is suffering from a bulging disc in his back.
Memphis Notes: The Tigers are coming off of wins over No. 17 Arizona (Dec. 29) and No. 5 Georgetown (Dec. 22). Add to that, wins over Oklahoma, Connecticut and USC and many people believe Memphis should be ranked No. 1. Point guard Derrick Rose is ranked as one of the top freshman in the country, was a McDonald's All-American and has started all 11 of the Tigers games. Coach John Calipari has averaged 26 wins in his first seven seasons at Memphis and the Tigers went 16-0 in league play last season and then advanced all the way to the Elite 8 before losing to Ohio State.
