Some interesting notes...

Obviously Siena is not just getting respect in conference. Being listed as receiving votes, means the Saints are getting national love also. It is the first time Siena has been listed in the poll since December of 1999 under coach Paul Hewitt.

Siena's third opponent Tennessee is ranked No. 13 and other Old Spice Classic participants Georgetown (No. 18) Michigan State (No. 7) and Gonzaga (No. 11).

The University at Albany doesn't have it easy either. The team that ended Siena's season, Villanova is ranked No. 25 and that's who the Great Danes open up with on Friday, Nov. 14 in Philadelphia.
