Siena recruit Javion Ogunyemi talks about his team's first round sectional victory on Tuesday evening. Troy High beat Saratoga 77-64, and will play Bethlehem on Saturday, at 3 p.m., in the quarterfinals. Ogunyemi finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks and was a little under the weather, with flu-like symptoms.

We are off and running for the college basketball season.

TROY - On the opening day of college hoops season, the Siena men's basketball team already feels like winners.

Troy High standout Javion Ogunyemi has committed to play for the Saints and coach Mitch Buonaguro.

Ogunyemi chose Siena over James Madison, which is coached by former Siena player Matt Brady.

The 6-foot-8 Ogunyemi ended last year in the postseason, suffereing a gruesome ankle injury that cut his season short, as the Flying Horses still made it all the way to the Class AA championship game.
Ogunyemi averaged more than 12 points per game last season for Troy High.
