ROSTER REPORT

--Freshman G Ronald Moore has 169 assists and 64 turnovers running the Siena offense.

--G Tay Fisher, a true leader on this team, matched a career high with six 3-pointers and finished with 21 points in the MAAC title rout of Rider.

--G Kenny Hasbrouck is averaging 15.6 points per game entering the tournament. He suffered a left shoulder injury in the MAAC quarterfinal win over Manhattan but had 17 points in each of the last two games, the 17 in the semifinals all coming in the second half. "It hurts," the senior said. "But I'd have to break a limb -- or not have a limb -- not to play."

--Siena, the runaway leaders in fewest turnovers in the MAAC, was guilty of just nine per game in the three games at the MAAC Tournament.
