Siena (4-0, 11-6) has won five straight games to pull into Saturday's first place showdown with Niagara (3-1, 10-6) feeling pretty good about themselves.

“We’re feeling pretty good,” said Siena coach Fran McCaffery said. “Our bench gave us some big minutes in those (recent) games and I think we’re feeling pretty good right now about where we our health-wise and where our legs are.”

The Saints have won 28 of their last 30 games against MAAC schools and are riding a 28-game homecourt winning streak.

“I think things are starting to flow a little bit better,” said senior forward Alex Franklin. “There’s always room for improvement. The team is really coming into stride and this is one of the places we want to be right now.”
