Siena arrived in Idaho late Thursday night by mountain time standards with the entire team in tact.

Before the team took off, I had the chance to ask Alex Franklin and Tay Fisher about traveling almost all the way across the country to play in the ESPN BracketBuster.

"I've been to California once, but I've never been to Idaho," Franklin said. "The only think I know about Boise State is they have the blue field for football."

"I don't know anything about them," Fisher said. "I just know Idaho is far and it's going to be a long flight. It's going to be a lot of switching flights and going on different flights and that should motivate us even more because it's going to be a long flight back and it's going to be miserable."

The Siena gameplan for this game against the Broncos (10-3, 19-6), at least for the players, has changed since they've lost two games in a row.

"Coming off of two losses, it would be good to go out there and get a win," Franklin said. "If you get a lose out there, the long way back is not going to be good."

"We're approaching it like it's any other game, like it is a league game because right now, we need to win games," Fisher said. "It doesn't matter if it's a non-conference game or not, we need to get each other back on track and I think this game, right here, is a good time for it to happen."

Fisher left me with this thought that couldn't have rung more true.

"A lot of things we need to work on, such as rebounding and going out there with energy and going out and playing with heart, coach can't teach us," Fisher said. "That's something we have to have within ourselves."
