What to Know

Siena will be in front of their home fans on Wednesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will take on the Bryant Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Siena might want some stickum for this game since the team gave up 19 turnovers on Sunday.

It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and post 14 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact Siena found out the hard way. They were dealt a punishing 80-48 defeat at the hands of the Mountaineers.

Even though Bryant has not done well against Brown recently (they were 1-6 in their previous seven matchups), they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. The Bulldogs narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Bears 69-66. The victory made it back-to-back wins for Bryant.

The Saints bumped their record down to 2-6 with that loss, which was their third straight on the road. Those losses could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 51.3 points per game. As for the Bulldogs, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a massive bump to their 5-4 record this season.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Siena have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 33 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Bryant struggles in that department as they've been even better at 38.8 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
