According to Siena's web site and an ESPN press release, the Saints have been chosen for a nationally televised game in the ESPN BracketBusters event on Saturday, Feb. 23.

Siena (13-8) will take on Boise State (16-5) out of the Western Athletic Conference at Taco Bell Arena with the tip-time and actual ESPN network to be determined at a later date.

This is the same Broncos team that played UAlbany in last year's BracketBusters game, causing all sorts of travel headaches for the Great Danes.

Boise State also played UAlbany this season, beating them on both occasions.

"It's exciting for us, because we get to play another nationally televised game against a quality opponent," Siena coach Fran McCaffery said. "It's great for our fans because it strengthens our non-league home schedule for next year."

Like Boise State did this season with UAlbany, the Broncos will return the trip to Albany next year.

The field of 100 potential BracketBuster teams was narrowed to 28 today, for televised purposes and the remaining 72, which includes UAlbany, will be paired up next week.
