"I was pleased with the way we executed our game plan, especially on the defensive end of the floor," head coach Fran McCaffery said following the game. "(Saint Peter's) is a team that can come back on you in a hurry, and I was happy with the way we held them in check."

Jordan scored 16 of Siena's 36 points in the first half as the Saints took a seven point lead to the lockerroom.

Saint Peter's got no closer than five in the second half and Siena held a double digit lead for the majority of the final stanza.
