MAAC GAMEDAY: Siena vs. Iona

J.S. Carras/The Record
Iona comes into Albany tonight, bringing with them the bulls-eye of being the conference's top team and also having an offense that can simply obliterate the opponent.

Siena found that out last time these two teams played. The result was a 95-59 loss at Madison Square Garden.

The Gaels are coming in off a equally impressive 91-71 demolishing of Rider.

Iona hasn't won in Albany since the 2005-06 season. Since 2000, Siena is 10-1 against Iona in Albany and the Gaels haven't swept the season series from the Saints since the 1996-97 season.

The Saints have also won 10 of the last 12 meetings between these two schools, including last year's 73-67 victory at home. The Gaels won the next two meetings though, including a 30-point drubbing in the MAAC quarterfinals.

OD Anosike is still the nation's leading rebounder and he has a streak of 14 consecutive double-doubles. In fact, Anosike has had double-digits in rebounding in all but one game this season, when he finished with nine (Nov. 23 vs. Georgia Tech).
