Iona 39, Siena 29 (half)

ALBANY - What a first half.

Iona came out guns blazing, scoring 20 of the game's first 22 points.

Somehow Siena withstood the blow and has rallied back to only trail by 10 at halftime. 

O.D. Anosike has 12 points and nine rebounds in the first half for the Saints, while Scott Machado and Mike Glover combined for 26 points for the Gaels.

Siena is in all sorts of foul trouble. Kyle Downey has three fouls, while Anosike, Brandon Walters and Evan Hymes all have two fouls.

Iona had two technical fouls called on them in the first half, one against Sean Armand for shoving Marcus Hopper. The other was assessed to Machado (his third foul), who wasn't even on the floor at the time.

Hopper gave Siena good minutes with all of the foul trouble, but it'll be interesting to see if Siena can stand in and fight or will slowly fade like they have in games past, due to fatigue.

This should be a good finish.
