Overview: The Saints head to Reitz Arena tomorrow evening, probably the one place they wouldn't mind skipping over on their northern trip back home.

Siena has lost two times in a row in Baltimore and senior Kenny Hasbrouck is the only member of the team that has tasted victory in Loyola's home building.

Add to that the fact that the Greyhounds have won four regular season meetings, including a gut-wrenching 83-76 overtime victory in Albany, after Greg Manning hit a three-pointer with 10 seconds to go.

That also spoiled a career-high 37-point performance from Edwin Ubiles, which was the most points by a Saints player since Doremus Bennerman scored 51 in a 1994 NIT game.

Siena did beat Loyola in the MAAC semifinals last year in Albany, when Josh Duell's shot with 20 seconds to go capped a 17-point come-from-behind victory.

Records: Siena 0-0, 2-3. Loyola 0-0, 2-5

The Series: Siena leads the overall series 32-13.

Player to Watch: Ryan Rossiter, sophomore Siena. Rossiter has become a beast since the summer trip to Italy. Rossiter is averaging 11.6 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, he's had his first two career double-doubles and now gets his first crack at a MAAC opponent. With the graduation of Michael Tuck and Omari Isreal, the Greyhounds are small up front and Rossiter should be able to take advantage.

X-factor: Three-point defense. Loyola made 34 three's last season in three games against Siena and shot 47 percent (34-73) from beyond the arc (Remember Siena shot just 43 percent (12-28) from the free throw line last game against Oklahoma State). That included a school-record 18 treys against the Saints in a 85-56 drubbing in January. Junior Brett Harvey had nine of those 3-pointers last year against Siena. He is the team's leading scorer, who has already dropped a career-high 34 points against Tennessee State (not the one Siena palyed) this season.

Of Note: This nine-day, four-game trip that culminates on Wednesday marks the longest that a Siena team has ever been away from campus during the season, in its 66-season history...Also, the Siena has never lost four games in a row under coach Fran McCaffery.

Injury Note: Since the team didn't return to Loudonville in between their games at the Old Spice Classic and this matchup, junior Cory Magee (concussion) still is not with the team.

Prediction: Siena 74, Loyola 67 (Could the Saints lose four in a row? I don't see it. My Siena record is 3-2.)
