Siena remains a bit short-handed with Peter Carey and Marcus Jackson out. Not their two best players but starters and both played in the first meeting, a 74-73 Iona win on Jan. 5. The Gaels are second nationally in offensive rebounding (15.7 per game) and No. 4 in the NCAA and first in the MAAC in turnovers forced (17.3 per game).

We've been keeping an eye on Tobin Anderson's Iona, which has always hinted a bit of upside this season. Now, the Gaels might finally be on the way with impressive back-to-back wins as different players step into the spotlight. In the recent cruise past Canisius, it was G Dejour Reeves scoring 25; in the Thursday win at Rider, emerging frosh G Adam Njie scored a season-best 23. Meanwhile, Siena continues its back-and-forth pattern in the Metro-Atlantic, though first-year HC Gerry McNamara gets very little production from his bench, and the Saints are not especially explosive with their subpar 42.8% FG accuracy.
