SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Siena men's basketball team played well on Friday evening, the University of Massachusetts was just a little bit better.

The Saints had an 11-point lead in the second half, but the Minutemen had enough down the stretch.

Led by Chaz Williams' driving ability, UMass got the lead and held on down the stretch.

The Saints (3-6) got a game-high 23 points from Kyle Downey. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Downey and Owen Wignot put Siena up 49-38, with 16:45 to play in the game.

Williams, who finished with 22 points, 20 of which came in the second half, put the Minutemen (8-3) on his back down the stretch.

O.D. Anosike registered his fifth-straight double-double, with 22 points and 14 rebounds,  but missed a potential game-tying free throw 25 seconds to play.

Evan Hymes added 16 points and seven assists, while turning the ball over just once against UMass' full-court pressure defense.

Siena is back on the homecourt, on Monday, when they host Fordham.
