Game 14: Siena vs. Saint Peter's

I'm running short on time because of a doubleheader at Saint Rose today, so here's the game cap that will run in Sunday's paper.

SAINT PETER’S (1-2, 4-9) at SIENA (3-0, 9-4)
Where: Times Union Center (8,065), Albany
When: 2 p.m.
Radio: WROW – 590-AM (Robert Lee, Tom Huerter)
Probable Starters
Saint Peter’s Ht. Yr. Ppg.

22 Nick Leon 5-11 So. 14.4
15 Wesley Jenkins 6-2 So. 16.5
31 Akeem Gooding 6-4 Jr. 5.9
2 Ismaila Traore 6-6 Sr. 2.5
4 Ryan Bacon 6-7 So. 9.4
Siena
25 Ronald Moore 5-11 Jr. 8.5
41 Kenny Hasbrouck 6-3 Sr. 11.8
23 Edwin Ubiles 6-7 Jr. 15.0
42 Alex Franklin 6-5 Jr. 13.8
22 Ryan Rossiter 6-9 So. 8.7
Notable: The Saints have won 10 consecutive home games, the longest streak since a stretch that began with the final game of the 1998-99 season. This year’s Siena team is 1-3 when not playing at night. Sophomore Ryan Rossiter is nursing a sore ankle that caused him to play only 16 minutes against Fairfield on Thursday. The Peacocks’ lone conference win came by 24 points of Canisius back in December. Saint Peter’s has lost four of their last five games after winning two in a row.


Predicition: Siena 80, Saint Peter's 62 (If this game is close, I will be surprised and Siena will be looking ahead to an early flight Monday and a date with Kansas on Tuesday. My record is 10-3. I'll take a loss for the Fairfield game, since I was in Montreal and didn't have any prediction)
